CAIN CEMETERY

FRANKLIN COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI

Cain Cemetery was compiled by Frances Josephine Thornton Freeman on 12 July 1995.  It was shared by her cousin Thomas H. Carraway.  Tom also has a map of the locations of the gravesites that his cousin made for him.   Thank you Tom for sharing this information with Franklin County, MS genealogists.  If you have any questions about the Cain Cemetery, you can contact Tom Carraway at carraway@kopower.com.

Tom said that his father as a child remembered many graves which were marked with native sand stones, which are no longer there.  He also believes that James Cain, the father of D.B. and Hardy Cain was also buried there.   James Cain was the owner of this land when he died in 1834 and was the second pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church.

Cain Cemetery is located in Beat 5, North of Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
