1. Abraham Kennedy (Abram) McCain was born in 1826 in Arkansas. He died in 1867 in Byrd's Store, Brown Co, Texas. Appointed to Sheriff 6/8/1861 to fill Jesse Sutton Harris term after Harris was killed, served until Aug 15, 1862. (Something about Brown, A History of Brown Co, TX by T R Havins, Banner Printing Co, Brownwood, TX pg 17) A. K. (A) McCAIN was appointed on June 6, 1861, and served until August 4, 1862. Contributed by Patsy Johnson in Brownwood at ikesis2@juno.com Birth: 1826 in Ark; Death: ABT. 1865 in Brown Co., TX. Abraham McCain arrived with his parents in Washington County, Texas in Dec 1828.

June 1861 -1862 Sheriff - appointed to serve rest of "Sut" Harris's term after Harris was murdered. Military Service: Mexican War which followed Texas annexation to the United States Shot & Wounded Military Service: Confederacy in Brown County. 1858 Tax List for Brown County shows Abram McCain with 200 head of cattle, worth $1,000.00; the next year Abram has 300 head of cattle. Apparently he is gathering many cattle and considering the size of the herd, a plausible reason is a planned move to West Texas. Haynie's absence from the Washington County tax rolls, but his presence for the 1857 election and Abram's growing heard of cattle suggest the possibility that the two were making a slow entry into West Texas, moving out in stages, while Janie and the children remained in Washington County. Whatever the case, the 2 families, headed northwest, sometime in Iate1860. Eventually reaching the lower edge of the Osage or Lower Plains in an area north of the western reaches of the Colorado River. The McCain's and Gilliland's ended their journey in the northwestern part of Brown County, settling on Pecan Bayou, a tributary of the Colorado River.

You are welcome to send any additional information to the museum, we would gladly welcome it! I will try to get that name fixed in this post. The original binding of the sheriff "book" is located at the genealogy library here in Brownwood and they would be the ones to fix it in the publication. Thank you so much!

I have just submitted several corrections by email to the webmaster of this site as well as the Museum director. Unfortunately I found several errors in my Mother and Grandmother's names as well as my Grandmother Aggie's date of passing. These are incorrectly listed in a bound book? This is a shame... please let me know how these important details can be corrected, thank you.

I see my Grandmother Agnes McCain Norris information is still incorrect here, how do we go about having this important historical information corrected? It shows the date of her husband Ernest Russell Norris' death (June 2, 1967) rather than her correct date of death in 1988. Please contact me and let me know how to have this important information corrected, thank you.

Does anyone know where Abraham McCain is buried? I haven't been able to find his grave. He is my great-great grandfather.

Try Oak Hill Cemetary, Burton,Washington Co. Tx some of his children and brothers are buried there. His father James G McCain's father and mothers name is what I need. James was part of the Tennessee people who were part of the 300 colonist of Steven Austin who moved to Washington Co when it was part of Mexico. I do not know his parents.
