McCain links to NB, Canada

amccainNB — 2009-11-09 15:30:00Z

I'll try another post. Looking for anyone with info. on McCain familys from New Brunswick, Canada.

I decend from a family of McCains that are believed to have left Ireland in the early to mid 1820's and settled near the town of Sussex, Kings County, New Brunswick.

The origional siblings were John, George, William and Isabel and the area they settled became know locally as McCain Settlement (or McKanes). The brothers were only a few years apart in age and ranged from 1800-1807 possibly. Two of the brothers wives are know to have come from Co. Tyrone and were McClay sisters. The other brother's wife was named McAllen or McDermit.

Of the first generation of children born in NB, two of the boys left NB and set off for the United States (possibly Reading PA area). If anyone in PA has any McCain men in or around the 1850's and can't find an origin for them, drop me a line and I'll see if their names or dates fit in my tree.

Also, later generations are believed to have moved onto Brittish Columbia and/or Alberta. Anyone with Canadian McCain info. I'd be happy to chat and see if we can find any links.

What proof do you have that Hugh of the Waxhaws had a wife named Mary Hamilton? Also what proof that he had a daugher named Jane? You missed the oldest son, John S. McCain, b. 1853. I believe I remember that John's tombstone is next in line Jane's.

Re: James McCain b. 1788

spatetb — 2009-11-03 19:32:32Z

Hugh McCain 1729 had 3 wives: Eleanor Nutt married 1747, Jane Pickens Davis married 1790, and Mary Hamilton.
8-children total: Jane 1750, William 1753, Eleanor 1757, Robert 1757, Hugh 1761, James 1763, Andrew 1765, and Joseph 1777. The only child I have for Robert is William 1780.

Hugh McCain dad was Alexander and Sarah Hamilton. Sarah dad was Col. Hance Hamilton.

Alexxander dad was Alexander and Adams

Walter Byron McCain

corkybstewart — 2009-10-05 22:57:25Z

I'm looking for information about my great grandfather Walter Byron McCain. All I know is that allegedly he was born in Alabama in 1873, but I haven't been able to find any records of him. He was married to Havannah Adams of Rockford AL(Coosa County), and he died in 1933. My father never knew him, nobody ever talked about him so apparently he was not popular with the family.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: James McCain -- AL

beccabel — 2009-08-25 14:08:14Z

In an 1860 US Census, The Northern Division, Randolph County, Alabama, dated 9 June 1860, there are McCains listed: James age 45, Enicy (Sp?) age 43 , Martha age 19, Catharine age 17 , Sarah E. age 15 on Page 22. And of interest, their occupations are listed as Farmer, and all the rest weavers. Probably more names on Page 23. I had this census page copied, only to find out it was not relevant to my McCains. I know I am years late, but I could not let your post go unanswered. Hope it helps. Marium Griswold

McCain's of NC

SusieQ27205 — 2009-07-16 16:42:28Z

I heard this family story about a Susannah Cain. Her sister was Elizabeth (who maybe married a William, but that could be wrong) and a brother Thomas that may have died young. Their mother may have died when they were little. They would be living in NC (maybe Orange Co area). Susannah, Elizabeth, and Thomas would be born around 1745.

Last name could be:
Cain
Caine
Cane
McCain

If anyone could help me out I would love it.

I guess you've seen this:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&d...
When Robert Bolen (Wheeler) Married the widow McCain, she was pregnant. She had a son went by the name of McCain.

There is more there that I'll refrain from pasting here.
I notice Jesse Lawrence Macon shows Robert Boling/Bolling/Bolen Wheeler marrying Amanda Sims McCain in Aug 1864 while he has Walter/Water Wheeler (McCain) born 1875. Wonder what the correct marriage date is.

Regarding the Jesse J. LeCroy (born c1878) on the 1900 census with them, I can't identify him.

I probably shouldn't stir muddy waters further, but there was another Jesse LeCroy was b. 1885 in Coosa Co., son of Alexander LeCroy and Laura Frances (Connaway) whose uncle Charles married Louisa Ellen Yarbrough, aunt of Mary Emma (Pitts) Thomas, daughter-in-law of Ailsey (McCain) Thomas whose father was Colin McCain of Clay Co., AL. Two of her (Mary Emma Pitts') Yarbrough aunts also married their first cousin William LeCroy, son of Hosea LeCroy and (Mary Emma's great-aunt) Mary (Short). Jesse Lawrence Macon Jr. is a distant cousin of these Shorts through Hartons/Harthorns, Bells, Thompsons.
Apologies for rambling.

(info on birthplaces mixed up. sp. of Walter, too. Here appears a problem. Amanda has B. Wheeler 60, as husband in 1870. Her older children (Oliver, Mary, Ugenie, Sarah) all listed as Wheelers even though she is A. McCain (widow) in 1860 with 5 ch. Laura Wheeler 5 in 1870 is ok.
Oliver McCain info in 1880 names Laura and Walter(Water) as his bro. and sis. 1850 census shows Amanda and Samuel McCain with James 3 and Oliver 4/12. This family has been discussed on the McCain mailing list. Check archives.)

Margaret Alice Robinson McCain

Billy_McCain — 2009-06-25 02:38:45Z

I'm looking for my great grandmother, Margaret Alice (Robinson) McCain. I have her being born May 8, 1839 in
Tennessee. Death was in 1943, so I'm told. She may have died in Tennessee. I can not find her in the 1930 Census. My 85 year old cousin, told me see went back to Tennessee before 1930. She is in the 1910 and 1920 Census for Arkansas. She was married to Amos Calvin McCain, a son of William McCain. Really am hoping that someone out there can connect with her.

Re: Mary Louise McCain of Coosa County AL

Ray_Isbell — 2009-06-24 13:06:13Z

His name was definitely Walter. Wallis on the earlier census may have been a nickname. Wonder where the Cannons got "Walker" from.

I omitted the 1930 census.

Rockford, Coosa Co., Alabama
Gann, William T. wm 27, married 1929-30, TN TN TN
Gann, Kathleen L. wf 17 married 1929-30 AL AL AL
McCain, Walter B. w, 58 widow, married age 23 AL AL AL

Kathleen would be Walter's daughter, shown as 11 in 1920 though not on the 1910 census.

I had a lot of relatives who lived all around them so I was wondering if they were some kin.

The Alabama Death Index shows Walter B. McCain died at Rockford 10 Nov 1933, age 61 years 3 months 23 days. It lists his spouse as "Hadie," probably a nickname for Havannah unless he had remarried in the preceding three years. Film number 1908513, reference number cn 21887. Maybe you could get his death certificate and that would tell more.

Not to be confused with Walter Tipman McCain of Clay Co., b. 1870-71 at Lineville, Clay Co., who died 4 March 1929 at Talladega, son of Henry Daily McCain and Margaret (Mosteller) McCain and grandson of Seaborn McCain.

Re: Mary Louise McCain of Coosa County AL

She was the daughter of Walker or Walter B. McCain born 1872-73 and wife Havanna (Adams), daughter of Simon and Martha (McEwen) Adams. The 1910 census shows her father as Wallis while the 1920 census shows his name as Walter. A researcher of the Adams & McEwen families lists his name as Walker McCain and says born 1872, died 1933.

1910 census for Coosa Co., AL:
Wallis B. (or Walker) McCain b c1873 AL AL AL wm dealer of Horses & mules
+ (c1898) Havanna (Adams) hotelkeeper
George A b 1904
Mary L b c1907
Also listed with them: George Anderson, laborer, herdsman (bm 38 single)

1920 Rockford, Coosa Co,
Walter B. McCain 47 livestock dealer
Havanna 39 asst bank cashier (indexed incorrectly as Hosannah)

McCain/ Mcane Mystery photo

jadybug — 2009-04-03 21:55:30Z

Hello
I do not have McCain ancestry but I have a photo I am trying to identify of that includes McCain school children. The photo was probably taken during the late 1800s or early 1900s. I think it was taken in Utah. Possibly California. Two are my Merrill relatives but their names dont show up on the back. I am wanting to know the location and possible date of the photo so I can identify my relatives and would appreciate any help.

One childs name is Willie McCain. It is written as Willie Mcane. There is also another child that shares the same last name. Possibly a sibling of Willie. Contact me and I will email you the photo if you can't view it now. There is a list of about 30 other names including: Stanton, Brigs, Gray, Anderson, Mayre,Worthington,Bockbolt, Vere, Pendelton, Allen, Case x2, Carter, Arnold, Wooley, Hanson, Nelson, Olsen, Berkinshaw, Jenningsand Wilkinson.

Re: Jane Sena McCain, Chattooga County, GA

I don't think so, but thanks anyway.
This Jane Sena/Cina/Seney McCain/McCin (b. abt 1803?) married Martin Culber(t)son (30 Dec 1840 in Chattooga Co GA). His second marriage. One child, male, DC Columbus Culber(t)son (b 1842)
If anything should turn up, please let me know.

Re: Jane Sena McCain, Chattooga County, GA

LawrenceW_Maynard — 2009-03-09 21:00:36Z

Tom, the Jane McCain who died in Shelby Co, AL ca 1818 was the wife of Robert McCain who may/or may not be a son of the Robert McCain who was a son of Hugh of the Waxhaws. Robert, son of Hugh, died in Maury Co, TN in 1812. If Elizabeth Nutt(?) was his 2nd wife, then the Robert McCain and wife, Jane, who both died in Shelby Co, AL in the early 18 hundreds, could have been a grandson of Hugh of the Waxhaws.
Lawrence

Re: Jane Sena McCain, Chattooga County, GA

samtomfl — 2009-03-09 14:32:13Z

My first thought was also, Alexander's daughter Jane, born Nov 15, 1803. However, according to Lawrence Maynard's "Hugh McCain of the Waxhaws" this Jane married Richard Wright Steele and continued to live in what's now Union County, NC and is buried at Tirzah Cemetery along with many more McCains in the Waxhaw area.

Joseph Nutt has no child named Jane per the above mentioned genealogy. However, he has a child named William born in 1803 with no further information.

And, there is no Culberson mentioned in this genealogy.

Robert McCain, son of Hugh had a daughter Jane born in 1797 who married a Henry Cox. She died in 1818 in Shelby Co., Alabama.

Don't know if this helps.

Andrew's obit states "Died at his residence in Union County,
North Carolina, on the 25th Nov 1844, Andrew McCain, in the 80th year of his age...." From Christian Magazine of the South, March 1845. That would make him born in 1764.

Re: Verification of wife for Hugh McCain Sr.

LawrenceW_Maynard — 2009-01-04 03:28:53Z

The children were all born in the Waxhaw area just north of the South Carolina border. John stayed in the Waxhaw area. William also stayed in the area but several of his children went to middle Tennessee. Robert and Eleanor are said to have moved to eastern Tennessee. Hugh Jr stayed in the Waxhaw area. James moved to South Carolina but most of his family ended up in MIssissippi. Andrew stayed in the area with some family members living across the line in South Carolina. Joseph Nutt moved to Georgia with some of his family moving to eastern Alabama.

Thanks for verifying the names of the children and Hugh and Eleanor. I have the same sons and the daughter Eleanor but also have a daughter Jane that was born in 1775 between Andrew and Joseph. I have a range of births from 1753 to 1781. Do you know if all of the children were born in North Carolina? It appears that after they married that they stayed in Mecklenburg County, NC. This is not my direct line, but Hugh is a nephew of my ancestor.

The 7 sons you have are correct. There was also one daughter
named Eleanor. They were all the children of Hugh Sr and Eleanor Nutt.

Re: Verification of wife for Hugh McCain Sr.

djschmidtsj — 2009-01-03 04:28:21Z

I have names for 7 children, but am still not certain if Eleanor Nutt is the mother of all 7. Plus, there are no girls listed, so I may be missing some more children unless he only had boys.

- William S. McCain
- John S. McCain
- Robert McCain
- Hugh McCain Jr.
- James McCain
- Andrew McCain
- Joseph Nutt McCain (I guess that one is pretty self explanatory. :-))

Re: Verification of wife for Hugh McCain Sr.
