Cain and Hinton Family Papers

Hinton family · 1801

Papers of the Cain and Hinton families, 1801 to 1969, centered on Hardscrabble, the farm in eastern Orange County, now Durham County, that Dr. James Frederick Cain (1828 to 1904) inherited about 1857 on land his family had held since 1779. Diaries, scrapbooks, recipes, poems and photographs sit alongside papers on women's clubs, hereditary societies and suffrage, with ties to Stagville.
