Died: 20 FEB 1784 in Union County, South Carolina Married Barbara Harrel Born 1735 Died 11 JAN 1814 As a young single man and devout Quaker he came to America on a ship bound for Philadelphia. The ship was blown off course by the Gulf Stream and finally landed, near where the city of Charleston, South Carolina now stands. When the Revolutionary War broke out, he refused to enter or assist. Tradition says that his neighbors, feeling that his convictions against war should be overcome, took to the method of trying him out on the subject. He was placed on a horse, his feet tied together with a rope under the belly of the horse and the horse turned loose without rope or bridle to guide it. Instead of running away and giving Jonathan a good shaking up as expected, the colt only wandered about. The neighbors became ashamed of their actions, caught the colt and released Jonathan. His oldest son, John,Jr. was about sixteen years old at the time and witnessed the episode. The son grew angry at the spectacle and told his father that he was going to join the Continental Army. This he did in 1776 and served for seven years. On August 28, 1832, three years before his death, John began to receive his pension from the United States Government for such services in the Continental Army. He died in 1835 and his remains lie in the Williamsburg, IN Cemetery and marked with a D.A.R. marker. No known facts or records show Jonathan left the state of SC before his death) Jonathan Cain Born 1 JAN 1729/30 Died 20 FEB 1784 Married Barbara Harrel Born 1735 Died 11 JAN 1814 Children: Celia Cain Born BET 1755 AND 1759; John Cain Born 22 JUN 1760 Died 1 APR 1835; Abner Cain Born 1762 Died 14 FEB 1832; Amelia Cain Born 1764 Died 1839; Elvira Cain Born 7 MAR 1768 Died 11 MAR 1870; Abijah Cain Born ABT 1769 Died ABT 1833; Barbara Cain Born ABT 1771 Died 8 JUL 1857; Harold Cain Born ABT 1773; Sarah Cain Born ABT 1775; Delilah Cain Born 9 FEB 1777 Died 19 JAN 1835; Rebecca Cain Born 1779 Died 1833; Hardy Cain Born 1781 Died 1854 Abijah Cain Born ABT 1769 Died ABT 1833 Married Elvira Martha Rodgers Born 3 DEC 1777 Died 4 AUG 1860 Children: Margaret Cain Died 26 DEC 1825; John Cain Born 1805 Died 18 SEP 1870; Delila Cain Born BET 1810 AND 1820 Died BEF 1854; Barbara Cain Born 26 NOV 1811 Died 4 OCT 1888; Jane Cain Born ABT 1812; Ambrose Cain Born ABT 1814 Died BEF 1860 Ambrose Cain Born ABT 1814 Died BEF 1860 Married Esther Smith b: ABT 1814 d: AFT 1880 Children: Amy Cain Born 27 AUG 1833 Died 19 MAR 1889; Mary Cain Born 6 JAN 1835 Died 12 MAR 1915; Elizabeth Cain Born ABT 1838; Kezia Cain Born 15 JUN 1840 Died 20 APR 1926; Eleanor Cain Born SEP 1837 Died BEF 1910 Eleanor Cain Born SEP 1837 Died BEF 1910 Married John R.
