      Identified as S. S. Cain, white female, born in Ritchie County on Jul 14 1865, father (blank), mother Nancy. In a remarks column labeled "Deformity or any Circumstances of Intererst" was the notation "Promiscuous." (NOTE: Birth date of Salome Saleka Cain is given in her death record as Jul 14 1867, with father listed as John Cain and mother "Not Known." Her obituary states her birth date as Jul 14 1867, parents not given. Birth date on her headstone is also 1867. She was age 4 in the 1870 Census, enumerated on July 28th of that year, which would put her birth in 1866. The 1867 birth date would also conflict with the documented March 1867 birth date of her brother Okey.)
