Sarah Jane McLeod was the daughter of Norman McLeod and Margaret Cook. She married Richard Allen Cain on 21 January 1868 in Marshall County, Mississippi. They had 9 children: John Thomas, Robert Edward, Margaret E. "Maggie", Nancy Caroline "Callie," Mary Ellen "Molly," Annie Lee, Ruth Florence, Effie Mae, and Myrtle. Richard and Sarah came to Texas from Marshall County about 1878 and settled in Robertson County in the Bald Prairie area, where they are listed on the 1880 census. In the Bald Prairie Methodist Church Cemetery records there is listed a grave for Mrs. Cain and baby. This is probably her grave and is not marked, even though it is close to her father's grave. Her obituary was printed in The Texas Christian Advocate, January 17, 1889: "Cain.--Sarah J. Cain, nee M'Cloud, was born in Marshall county, Miss., Feb. 25, 1847; converted and joined the M. E.
