Candace, got your Cain information from a query you left on Carolyn Marble's homepage last April, so I'm not sure if Carolyn responded or wants any of us to. Hope this isn't duplication of effort. Lee County History book says R. L. Cain donated the Adina cemetery and church land where he and wife and a child you didn't list (Oskor Orceneth Cain, b. Nov. 10, 1872, d. July 16, 1878) are buried. The two markers on R. L.'s grave have different dates. One is b. 1842, d. January 21. The other is b. 1843, d. January 20.
Best wishes, Jim Heathman Genealogical Society of Lee County
*** OH -- There was mention that RL Cain donated the land for the Cemetery in Adina. That's what my grandfather told me, too. Both the cemetery and the schoolhouse. Grandpa said that whenever they found a fella who could count beyond 10 and write his name, they made him the schoolmaster. Which could be a tad bit of an exaggeration, eh? But maybe not all that much exaggeration. My mother has a picture of the schoolhouse and kids, incl. grandpa, which I will try to borrow from her. It's like pulling teeth to get them, of course, but little by little I am copying them, and doing what restoration I can, before they fade further. Now, I shall tell you that Grandpa's mother died not long after his birth, in 1884. RL promptly took the infant Charles to one of his mother's sisters ... I THINK it was Nancy, called Nannie. He lived with Nannie 'til he was 8, and I don't believe he saw his father in those years. When Charlie was 8, however, the old man remarried, to Mintice Hall Jones. Then he came and got the child, and took him home. I think Grandpa came to love his stepmother, and he certainly loved his sibs and the younger half-sibs, but I don't believe he ever came to have a good relationship with his father. In fact, I had the distinct impression that he loathed him. Life was pretty tough, and I think all those kids were considered to be built-in free labor. Grandpa said he rode on trail rides, when you'd ride until you were so beat you'd slide down off your horse and sleep in a mud puddle in the driving rain. When Grandpa was 14 years old, he said, he "got on his pony and rode." He only ever returned there once, in the thirties. He sloped around for two years, pretty much out of touch with most of the family, except Aunt Beulah. I think he stayed with her some, maybe in Waco??? I know he spent some time there. Did you know she was the first woman graduate of (I THINK) Texas Christian U.? And that she didn't marry 'til she was 30 or 31, because they were saving up the $$$ to live on? So Grandpa said. Anyhow, when he was 16, the Spanish American War was going on. Grandpa went down and joined the Navy. Told 'em he was 18 -- they didn't believe him, really, but he was a big, strong kid, and they took him. He was put to shovelling coal, at least at first, but he ended up a Warrant Officer, which in those days was as high as you could rise, if you'd joined up as a Common Seaman -- and he made a career in the Navy. He was 32 when he met my grandmother, and by that time, he'd been all over the world. (I have a terrific photo of him, taken in 1908, in Japan.) She was 16, and hadn't been further from the Irish Tenement district in New York than her cousin's place in New Jersey. They married shortly thereafter and, against all odds, were together for more than 15 years. 'Til she died. And once she was gone, he found little left to remain for. I'll get you dates and all. They had two children: Robert Cain, and my mother Catherine who was born in Honolulu, HA in 1921. They lived in San Diego, CA, and then in Escondido, CA. From there, they moved to Alhambra, CA, and later to Temple City.
Oh, BTW, back when I was in college (in the early 60's) I met a young woman named Sharon Slaughter. We lost touch, but she WAS some sort of a second cousin.
Also, although it seems hard for us to relate to in this time, Robert was actually a nickname used by folks who had no semblance of Robert/Bob/Roberto in their name. Yes, but in this case he definitely did change his name. It took my uncle years to track it down, and it came as a complete surprise to my grandfather. Heck, my uncle was named after his grandfather! Incorrectly, as it turns out -- but who's counting.
Oh, I can solve THAT mystery for you. Uncle Bob can give you more detail, but as I recall it, Grandpa said that HE thought his father's name was "Robert Lee Cain." Or, R.L. Cain. That's what everyone called him. HOWEVER, he did say that he never understood why, when his father's sisters came to visit them, THEY called him "Dick." Weeeeelllll . . . turns out, his name really WAS RICHARD LEONIDAS CAIN. Soooo ... why do you suppose he changed his name? I suspect, one of two reasons. 1. To honor Robert E. Lee? Maybe. 2. Or ... beCAUSE . . . He did serve in the Confederate Army. Not as a footsoldier, however. What I think Uncle Bob finally found was, RL was an Army Teamster. Seems that sometime toward the latter part of the War, when things got really bad, he just up and left. I'm sure he wasn't the only person to do that, of course. But when he eventually showed up in Texas, he was using the name "Robert."
BTW, I spoke with my mother last night, and she says she recalls having met "Aunt Etta," though I'm not sure whether she meant that she met her in the 30's, when Grandpa took her with him to Texas (his ONLY return visit) or whether she meant that she met her in the early 80's, when she any my youngest brother went to TX along with Uncle Bob. She also mentioned a "book," which she says she will dig out for me. I asked her when Grandpa died, and she said it was 1981. My grandmother died in 1976.
And you asked about Uncle Bob (Robert Cain). He and my Aunt Jean and their two daughters live in Springfield, VA. In addition to his continuing genealogical research, he is or was active as a docent at the Smithsonian. His mailing address is: Robt. Cain, 8313 Botsford Court, Springfield, VA 22152. Jeri Jennings DalsnRoses@att.net Jeri Jennings DalsnRoses@att.net ***** I lose track of what I've said! He said that the family has told him that when RL returned from the war to the farm in Arkansas, the family had given him up for dead ... then, finally, he showed up, barefoot, starving, and riding on a mule. Now, we know that he was a Teamster for the Confederate Army, and I think my uncle knows what his unit was. We also know that the whole last year of the Civil War, the Confederate Army was without supplies, soldiers were barefoot, and they were eating the parched corn intended as fodder for the horses. I suspect that, after one of the battles, he just said, "To H*ll with this . . . " and took his mule, and took off for home. But then, of course, he was a deserter ... which might explain why he then headed for Texas and changed his name from Richard Leonidas Cain to Robert Lee, or R.L. Cain. And, of course, he was very young -- probably about 17 when the war started, and surely no more than 20 or so when he ducked out. I think he became a hard man -- and surely, he butted heads with my grandfather, who left home at his earliest opportunity. But it WAS a hard life, and he was in the end quite respected in his community. *** OTOH, she's IN TX, so she should have no problem. Tell her to get a good Texas map, and start from Austin. Look East from Austin and find Elgin. Not far East of Austin is the road you turn off on, and from there you're on almost un-marked country roads (tho they do show on a good map). There's actually a sign at the most important turnoff that says Adina Church and Cemetery. Once you're on that road -- it's about 1.5 lanes wide -- you cross a wooden bridge. Not far past there, the road makes a sharp right turn. Right past that turn is the RL Cain house, on your right, surrounded by trees. Send her the pix, and she should be able to spot it instantly. AAMOF, I can send you a shot of the BACK of the house, which she will see before she sees the front -- the house does not face the road (I wonder if it ever did?). The SIDE of the house is to the road. The man who owns it is named Sam Baxter. Nice fella. His MAILING address is: Rt. 1, Box 286, Lexington, TX 78947.
The SIDE of the house is to the road. The man who owns it is named Sam Baxter. Nice fella. His MAILING address is: Rt. 1, Box 286, Lexington, TX 78947.
My great-uncle Haywood and his wife, Ruby, live in Elgin. He's the only remaining Cain child, and their address is: 1226 Lake Terrace Dr., Elgin. Ph.: 512-281-4838. We did NOT go to their house or call -- seemed rude, with no prior notice or contact -- tho I wavered on that. Maybe she could drop them a note or call or something, since she is closer.
The Cemetery is about 1/4 mi. on past the house, on the left. In between, she will see a mailbox on the right that says "CAIN." That's a Marie Cain, who is moving back in to the area. Apparently, she is sometimes there, sometimes not. Anyhow, tell Suzanne that Mr. Baxter asked me for a copy of my photo of the house, taken in 1901, and I did send that to him, as soon as I got home, so that should make him feel good about visitors. He was very pleasant, and is most interested in the family. If Suzanne needs it, I can get my TX map out of the motorhome (where I think it still is) and look up highway numbers -- but it's really, to my complete surprise, not at all hard to find. And the country is beautiful. Of course, we were fortunate enough to find it in the full flush of Texas wildflower time. :-)
*** Possible: Cain, Roebrt L. TX BURLESON CO. BLUE BRANCH P.O. 125 1870 **** Here's what I know, Pamela . . . He must have been pretty young when he went off to the war. And I've wondered for some time how it came to be that he went into the army as an Enlisted man, and a teamster, when his (apparently well-off) brother-in-law had raised his own troop. (Maybe some of the other branch of the family know about that, d'you suppose?) In any case, prior to the end of the war, he went missing after one of the big battles, and was given up for dead. After a long time, he showed up at home ". . . thin, barefoot, and riding on a mule." He apparently stayed home for only a short time -- probably to get healthy -- and then set off for Texas. There, he changed his name from Richard Leonidas Cain to Robert Lee Cain, usually called R.L. Cain. He met the Slaughter family -- and presumably Mary Louisa -- but he was there for something like 8 years before he acquired his own land -- and I'd guess he wasn't considered a worthy suitor until then. It looks to me like he "walked away from the war." And that wasn't uncommon. But he'd have had to been hiding out, if that's true. If he'd been caught, he'd have been sent back, for sure. If you read "Cold Mountain" (which was a much better book than I gather it was a film) I think you get an idea of what the journey home was like for men like that, who "walked away." But it sure would account for the change of name. OH, and btw -- Adina is in Lee County NOW, but back then, that area was part of Burleson County. I think the Slaughter cemetery (where Mary Louisa and Oskar Orceneth are buried) is still in Burleson Co. -- tho, as the crow flies, they are very close together. That Slaughter cemetery is in such bad condition, I wish the burials could be relocated to Adina. :-( FWIW, one of the important people from the Texas war of independence is buried there, but I'm danged if I can remember which one. HEY!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to figure THAT out, look what I ran across . . . READ LINE 3, BELOW:
BEAUKISS, TEXAS. Beaukiss is on Middle Yegua Creek about one mile from the Lee county line in southeastern Williamson County. The settlement was founded in 1880 by Samuel M. Slaughter, an Indian, who was also appointed its first postmaster that year. Beaukiss was a prosperous rural community by 1884, when it had a church, a school, a gristmill, a cotton gin, and seventy-five inhabitants. The population had climbed to 100 by 1890, and in the early years of the twentieth century the community had a variety of businesses, several doctors, three fraternal organizations, a school, and a string band. The town declined to a population of seventy-five in 1920 and only two businesses in 1931. The oil boom in eastern Williamson County revived Beaukiss briefly in the 1930s, when a well came in at the nearby Abbott oilfield, but the Beaukiss school closed in 1947, and the population of the town had declined to twenty by 1949. In 1977 Beaukiss was the site of a cemetery and a church. Its population in 1990 and 2000 was twenty, according to the United States census, though the local Masonic lodge had about 80 members in 2001.

Mark Odintz ***** ADINA, TEXAS. Adina is a rural community four miles north of Farm Road 696 and four miles west of Farm Road 122 in northwestern Lee County. The area was first settled after the Civil War.qv R. L. Cain, an early settler, donated five acres for a school and cemetery, and for a time the community was known as Cain School House. In 1895 the town received a post office, and the name was changed to Adina, after a character in a novel Cain was reading at the time. In 1896 the population was estimated at forty, and just after the turn of the century the town had a school, a store, a blacksmith shop, and a cotton gin. After 1905 many residents began to move to larger towns, and in 1908 the post office was closed. In the mid-1930s the school, a cemetery, and a number of scattered dwellings marked the site. The school continued to operate until 1945, when it was consolidated with the Lexington school district. The school district later deeded the land and the old school building to the Adina Christian Church. In 1982 only the church and a nearby cemetery remained at Adina.

Adina The days passed by and Angelo's revenge still hung fire. Scrope never met his fate at a short turning of one of the dusky Roman streets; he came in punctually every evening at eleven o'clock. I wondered whether our brooding friend had already spent the sinister force of a nature formed to be lazily contented. I hoped so, but I was wrong. We had gone to walk one afternoon,——the ladies, Scrope and I,——in the charming Villa Borghese, and, to escape from the rattle of the fashionable world and it's distraction, we had wandered away to an unfrequented corner where the old mouldering wall and the slim black cypresses and the untrodden grass made, beneath the splendid Roman sky, the most harmonious of pictures. **** Ancestor

A History of Lee County, Tx, Nortex Press 1974
"In 1865 at the end of the Civil War a confederate soldier, RL Cain, was stranded in Virginia with no money and ragged clothes. He started out to his home in Jasper, AL riding on a confederate mule, hiding out in the day and traveling by night. It took several weeks to make the trip and after four years of war and not hearing from home the entire time, he found everything changed. He began to wander about the great State of Texas, working his way on a boat from Mobile, Al to Velasco, Tx at the mouth of the Brazos River. He then followed the Brazos River by foot to the Yegua Creek and traveled up the Yegua to a place where the Yegua and the Mine Creek forked. This was the place that he decided to settle and call home. He worked for two or three years for John Lawrence, married a Texas girl, bought some land, cleared it and started making plans for a settlement."

Check her out at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1929/ Elizabeth Cain Musgrove was born in 1835, the fifth of thirteen children born to James Oscar Cain and Elizabeth McCauley. She married Francis Asbury Musgrove, son of Dr. Edward Gordon Musgrove and Rachel Hickland. This marriage joined the two most prominent families in Walker County.
The thing is, Company L, 28th Regiment Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army was raised and financed by Betty Cain's husband, Francis Musgrove. I have wondered from the git-go why RL enlisted as a PRIVATE in a regiment that his brother-in-law financed, but I think I got the answer from a book ("High Hearts") by Rita Mae Brown. It was considered to be "chivalous" to enlist as a private. (Expecting, probably, to work your way up.) I am positive that I read somewhere that a lot of the financing for that company came from James Oscar Cain, Jr. FA Musgrove was gravely wounded at Murfreesboro, and died at home in 1865 of typhoid fever, having never completely recovered from his wounds.

Calpernia Musgrove Notes for FRANCIS ASBURY MUSGROVE: According to Ann Grainger, Francis died from injuries he received during the Civil War. Owens Alabama history stated he was educated by his father and fitted for college, from Walker County to the Secession Convention of Alabama in 1861 and opposed secession. When war was declared, he enlisted in the 28th Alabama infantry, Reg. Manigault's Brigade, Wither's Division, Army of Tennessee. In 1863, he raised a battalion in Walker Co., AL, joined General Nathan B. Forrest's command and served to the close of the war. He served his country in civil offices, both before the war and after, until his death at an early age. He was a Mason, an Odd Fellow, organizing that body in Walker County and was a Methodist.

This will take you to a photo of the 28th AL Infantry reunion in 1908, Birmingham, AL.
This would be RL's group that he fought with, at least in the beginning of the war.
This link will tell you about the 28th, the battles and travels, and does confirm that Musgrove was injured in Murfreesboro. ** I think he did work for Ad Lawrence, when he first got there. I suspect he met Mary Louisa while he was working for wages. (You know, he and Mary Louisa were married by Gardner, as were Jim Slaughter and Mattie Cain, later.) He didn't buy the land for the school or the church or the cemetery, I think all that was part of the Cain Ranch, and he donated it. But that was quite a time after. The Adina Cemetery didn't begin until after Mary Louisa's death -- which is logically why she is buried over next to Sam'l Moore Slaughter at Lawhon Springs. I don't know, but I would assume that RL probably homesteaded. You know, you didn't need money to homestead 160 acres. You just had to "prove it up." Than meant that you had to build a dwelling with some minimum requirements, and do some other things. (The Homestead Act is still in effect, BTW. At least, my ex-inlaws homesteaded land 35-40 years ago.) The first house he built there in Adina was a "log cabin," or so my mother says. That's gone, and I don't think any trace of it remains. But that, I think, was the house my grandfather was born in, and Mary Louisa died in.
Jeri Jennings ** Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 16:33:54 -0000 From: "Karen Kitchens Murphy" Subject: Re: James Oscar Cain and the Land Story
He returned to Alabama when he was 16 and fought for the Confederacy in the War Between the States. He was given an Honorable Dishcharge at Blue Mountain TN, and walked home from there to Alabama with 2 other soldiers. He then returned to Texas and served for a time as a Texas Ranger. Then is was back to Alabama to marry Martha Caroline Hutto in 1881...went back to Texas for 2 or 3 years, back to Alabama and finally settled near the old Cain homeplace and raised 9 children. He died at the age of 87 in 1932. Talk about "wanderlust"!
