Research Notes
DNA Information
The Cain DNA Project at www.familytreedna.com has Y-DNA matches from several male-line descendants of his father, Nicholas Cain. These results point to an ancestral origin at the mother of the River Shannon in Ireland, possibly near Scattery Island where Cahane’s Castle stands, and the town of Kilrush, once held by Nicholas Cahan, coronet of Clare. The Y-DNA results also indicate a connection with the Cains of Bladen County, North Carolina.

BUT, I found tax records for Edmond or Edmund Cain in Champaign County, Ohio between 1809 and 1812:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.givenName=Edmond&q.surname=Cain&q.birthLikePlace=Brocks%20Gap%2C%20Augusta%20County%2C%20Colony%20of%20Virginia&q.deathLikePlace=Champaign%20County%2C%20Ohio%2C%20United%20States&q.fatherGivenName=Nicholas&q.fatherSurname=Cain&q.motherGivenName=Catharine&q.spouseGivenName=Mary&q.spouseSurname=Custer&q.birthLikeDate.from=1743&q.birthLikeDate.to=1747&q.deathLikeDate.from=1808&q.deathLikeDate.to=1812
There is no evidence that William Cain is his son, and Edmond's will directly condradicts that he is his son. In light of this I am removing William Cain as his son.
