The answer is in your genes. That's how I tracked my family back to Ireland. Same for many members of the Cain DNA project at www.familytreedna.com/public/Cain-Caine. We have members named Kain, but be aware that other branches of your family may not necessarily be Kain, but may be Cain, Keane, etc. as I have found myself.

Doing a research project for my family history. My Dad does not know anything about the history of our family and I am unable to find anything on Kain's that immigrated to Wisconsin. The oldest known Kain's (all deceased) Gordon Kain Sr. Fought in World War II lost left arm during war. The rumor is that our particular family descends from Ireland. Any information on my ancestors and their families/jobs/overall lives would be greatly appreciated.

I did locate an application for Civil War Pension by Augusts' wife. Oh, I should re-introduce myself..Sharon Barrow from Phoenix and I'm Fredrick Kain' decendant.

Gage Kain and Elizabeth Agnes (Bessie) Allinson Family

isewnsew1 — 2009-03-31 03:14:44Z

Hello! Looking for ANY information on Gage Kain, born about 1889 in Iowa. He married Elizabeth Agnes (called Bessie) Allinson, born 13 Sep 1890 in Lead, South Dakota. They were married 31 Jan 1912 but I don't know where. They had a son, Gage W., on 17 Feb 1914 in Montana. The 1930 census shows Elizabeth as head of household in Seattle, King, WA, a seamstress for a dry goods store - her son Gage W. is 16 years old. This would mean that Gage probably died sometime between the 1920 and 1930 census, or maybe they divorced. Any information would be helpful - thanks!

Mary Kain and William Farrell

unturnedstone — 2009-02-08 05:32:27Z

Esther Farrell bap. 26 May 1839. Sponsors: Bernard McNally and Bridget O'Brien.

Michael Farrell bap. 21 Nov 1840. Sponsors: James Kain and Bridget McCormick

Denis Farrell bap. 29 Oct 1842. Sponsors: Christopher Farrell and Margaret Kain.

William H. Kain

William H. Kain was born January 4, 1849, in West Manchester Township. At the age of sixteen he began teaching school, and at nineteen entered the Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, and graduated four years later. At the age of twenty-three he was appointed county superintendent to fill the unexpired term of Stephen G. Boyd. This occurred in 1871. He was elected in 1872. And re-elected in 1875, serving in all about seven years. In the year 1876 he prepared for the State Department a history of the progress of education in York County. Mr. Kain had a keen zest for learning, and was untiring in the pursuit of knowledge. Though firm in his disposition, he was free from dogmatism and pedantry. Having a predilection for the practice of law, he was admitted to the bar in 1878, had acquired a lucrative practice, and obtained prominence in his profession, when his career was cut short by premature death on February 3, 1993. He was a man of indefatigable energy in whatever he undertook.

NOTES:

Patrick Kane was a son of Michael Kane, b.ca.1795 near Moveen, who married ca.1815 [Margaret?] Green.

I do not know when or where Patrick's wife, Anne O'Neil Kane, died. Pat was a widower in 1900. Ann was a daughter of Thomas O’Neil [ca.1781-1832], who m. ca.1827 Bridget Doyle [ca.1795-1862]. Thomas O’Neil may have had a previous wife, if the difference in his age from Bridget is correct. Bridget remarried in 1833 James Kehoe [ca.1802-1865].

1848 Emigration to Canada

Although Patrick Kane stated several times that he emigrated from County Clare to Canada in 1848-1849, we have not found a ship’s passanger list. The nearest major port for emigration from Clare was the city of Cork. Limerick, at the head of the Shannon River estuary, was a much smaller port.

9 May, 1857, child born, Westport, Leeds Co. Ontario, Canada

The birth record for James Kane, the first known child of Patrick Kane & Ann O’Neil, is the earliest record of the family we have found in North America.. James was born in Westport, Leeds County, Ontario. I have not examined the baptismal record to determine godparents etc. Thomas Kane, the second child of Patrick and Ann Kane, was born in 1859 in Minnesota.

OBITUARY
Arlington Enterprise            Thursday 11 May 1911

“The late Patrick Kane was born in West Movine, County Clare, Ireland, March 9, 1820. He came to Ontario, Canada, in 1848, and from there emigrated to Sibley county in 1856, settling on a farm in Green Isle township, where he lived until about ten years ago, when he moved to St. Paul to reside.

He is survived by eight children, as follows: James Kane, Judge of Probate at Breckenridge, Minn.; Chas. T. Kane, and attorney and mayor of Benson, Minn.; Wm. Kane, attorney at International Falls; Thos. R. Kane, attorney and member of the Assembly, St. Paul; Henry and George Kane, St. Paul; Mrs. Francis [Bridget] Dolan and Miss Minnie Kane, also of St. Paul.”

NOTES:

Patrick Kane was a son of Michael Kane, b.ca.1795 near Moveen, who married ca.1815 [Margaret?] Green.

I do not know when or where Patrick's wife, Anne O'Neil Kane, died. Pat was a widower in 1900. Ann was a daughter of Thomas O’Neil [ca.1781-1832], who m. ca.1827 Bridget Doyle [ca.1795-1862]. Thomas O’Neil may have had a previous wife, if the difference in his age from Bridget is correct. Bridget remarried in 1833 James Kehoe [ca.1802-1865].

1848 Emigration to Canada

Although Patrick Kane stated several times that he emigrated from County Clare to Canada in 1848-1849, we have not found a ship’s passanger list. The nearest major port for emigration from Clare was the city of Cork. Limerick, t the head of the Shannon River estuary, was a much smaller port.

9 May, 1857, child born, Westport, Leeds Co. Ontario, Canada

The birth record for James Kane, the first known child of Patrick Kane & Ann O’Neil, is the earliest record of the family we have found in North America.. James was born in Westport, Leeds County, Ontario. I have not examined the baptismal record to determine godparents etc. Thomas Kane, the second child of Patrick and Ann Kane, was born in 1859 in Minnesota.

Kain descendents in MT/WA/MA/NH/TX/VT/England/Canada/Scotland

evanscg1 — 2006-07-19 13:21:28Z

I would like to be in touch with living descendents of the following Kain families:

John H. Kain, b. 1838 (England/Scotland). Married Lucy Glass. Descendents scattered throughout New England and Canada.

Margaret Kain/McKain, b. 1840 (England). Married Peter Wetherspoon. Possible descendents of their son, Peter b. 1865, in England.

Thomas Kain, b. 1842 (England). Married Frances Ann Topping. Settled in Helena, MT. Descendents still in MT and some in CA/WA/TX. Would especially like to hear from someone of this branch.

Agnes Kain/McKain, b. 1847 (Scotland). Married James Dunston. Settled in Quincy, MA. Possible descendents of their son, James.

James Kain, b. 1855 (Scotland). Married Elizabeth McInnes. Descendents in England.

Samuel Kain, b. 1858 (Scotland). Married Elizabeth ? in Quincy, MA. Moved to Vermont. Unknown if there are any descendents.

I have been researching this family for some time and have a lot of information to share. - Conni Evans

evanscg1 — 2007-10-10 12:01:28Z

It's very interesting that you also have McKain & Glas surnames, but I don't know anything about them. All the people in my previous posting were children of John & Elizabeth (Halliday) CAIN/KAIN/McCAIN/McKAIN. On their marriage record in 1838 in Whitehaven, England, John's father was listed as Thomas Cain, whose occupation was weaver. John was born circa 1813 in Ireland and was a stone mason as were most of his sons. From lots of postings about this surname, I'm assuming that these people traveled between Scotland and Ireland quite a lot. Whether my Thomas Cain was Irish or Scottish is unknown.

My Glass connection comes in with the wife of John Halliday Kain (son of John & Elizabeth). Lucy Glass was born in Liverpool to William & Ann (Parr) Glass. William was born circa 1800, supposedly in Liverpool but I suspect he was really born in Scotland. Lucy was their youngest child (of many), but their first two children were born in Scotland according to censuses. As there are many Glass/Glas families all over Scotland, I haven't been able to narrow down any connection.

Regards, Conni

I have a Davidson McKain b. 1748 at Edinburgh, Scotland. He married Catherine Glas 16 Sep 1773. Catherine is the daughter of Rev. Hugh Glas of Kettle, Fifeshire, Sct, who is my 4X grandfather. Records show that Davidson McKain was a grocer in Edinburgh.

I just took a look in the IGI and it shows Davidson and Catherine had two sons, James McKain and Stodart McKain, one born in Edinburgh and the other in South Leith.

Are you familiar with this McKain or Glas family?

Thanks much!

Re: Kain descendents in MT/WA/MA/NH/TX/VT/England/Canada/Scotland

EMolavi — 2007-10-10 20:45:20Z

Hi Conni,
Thanks so much for your quick reply. So far, I don't know of any of my Glas ancestors who moved down to England, however, what I know about mine (with the exception of a grandmother, Margarete Glas) goes back to the 1700's, and who's to say that future generations may have relocated.

I will definitely keep your correspondence in my Glas file in the event I discover something about your rellies, and I would ask that you do likewise.

Thanks again, and good luck with your research!!!!

KAIN, George M., 74 -- Dies: 11 Oct 1946 in Helena, Montana

GEORGE M. KAIN, 74, WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT, DIES
INSURANCE MAN LIVED IN HELENA FOR OVER HALF CENTURY

George M. Kain, 74, well-known insurance man and resident of Helena for 56 years, died this morning at St. Peter's hospital after an illness of several years.

Mr. Kain's health had been failing since he sufffered a heart ailment while vacationing at Polson two years ago. He remained active until a short while ago.

Born in Quincy, Mass., April 28, 1872, he moved to Liverpool, England, with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kain, when he was a child. As a youth of 16 he came to the United States and Helena [Lewis & Clark County] in 1889.

During his early years here, Mr. Kain was a stonemason and was associated with his father who operated a quarry at Ten Mile. Decorative and building stones from the Kain quarry were used in the construction of the buildings in Helena at the turn of the century.

An injury to his foot forced him to cease his craft as a stonemason. He served as justice of the peace of Helena township and operated an insurance business until several years ago when he took the position of bailiff for department No. 1 of the first judicial district.

In addition to his widow, Mrs. Annie Kain of 505 North Ewing, Mr. Kain is surved by two daughters, Mrs. Ann Christiansen and Mrs. Louise Pence, both of Helena; a son, George B. Kain of Hot Springs and one granddaughter; five brothers, Henry, John, Edmond, Alfred and Charles Kain, all of Helena; three sisters, Mrs. Henry Adami and Mrs. W.C. McHattie of Helena and Mrs. Florence Starley of Long Beach and many nieces and nephews.

The body it at Opp-Conrad-Retz funeral home. Funeral arrangements are pending.
