Our line of the family descends from a man named ABRAM CANE, who was born @1740, and lived in Virginia.
Abram fought in the American Revolution, serving in the 7th Regiment in Virginia between 1776 and 1778. He took some time out from the war to raise a family however, because the next generation in our family line was born a few years later during that conflict. We know nothing of his spouse, and only one of his children: His son, named ABRAHAM, who was born around 1781.
