William Cain sells the 82 acres on Sep 16, 1722:

Wit: THOMAS (X) UNDERWOOD, THOMAS (X) GALE and THOMAS GALE, Jr. WILLIAM (X) CAINE Rec: 24 Sep 1722 (page 493, IOW Deeds, Wills – Great Book Vol 2 1715-1726)
On the SAME DAY William Cain Sr. is buying in Chowan:
Chowan deed Cl-319 #1521 Henry Sims of Albemarle Co. & wife Grace to William Caine (no residence given) 16 Sep 1722 8 pds 170 ac on northside of a branch of Yourah Swamp, part of 360 grant to Henry Sims 1 Mar 1719. Wit. Barnaby McKinne, Robert Sims. (BOOK CAIN)
Sarah Braswell Cain's bro in laws sell 150 acres of the 170 which belonged to their father William Sr: Compare with above deed.

William Thomas but now Edward Arpe, pat to Henry Sims for 360 ac 1 May 1719. Wit. Samuel Peete (Peek), John Edwards. (BOOK CAIN) Click here for more about Hardy Cain
The will of William Cain Sr. in 1732/3 in Bertie Co., NC names wife Elizabeth, children William , Hardy, James, Patience, Unis, Sary, Rachel. Wm Sr. bequeathed unto Wm Jr. 290 acres in his will.
Here is when he bought it:
Bertie Deed B-198 William Whitehead and wife Rachel to William Cain 6 Nov 1726 for 15 Pd:' 290 ac, part of pat. of 490 ac 16 Aug 1720 adj Thomas Bryant, sd Whitehead, William Benet (Bennet) . Wit. John Speir, George Powell. (BOOK CAIN)
He gives it to Wm Jr. in his will:
Sixthly It is my will and desire that my son William Cain should have a certain tract or parcel of land and plantation containing two hundred & ninety acres that I purchased of William Whitehead that my son William lately lived upon by him freely to be possed and enjoyed and his heirs or assigns forever.
William Cain Jr. sells it:
Vol III Bertie Co., NC Deeds (Bell) 1730-1739D-168 May 12, 1735 William Cain to Thomas Taylor "of Western Br of Elisabeth Riv, Virginia" for 18 pds., 290 AC Adj. William Bennett. Wts: J. Edwards, William Thomas May Crt, 1735. John Wynns, D.C/C
It is logical to speculate that the above Thomas Taylor would become the father in law of Hermon Strickland. However, it is more likely that Hermon Strickland's wife Elizabeth is the grand daughter of Thomas Taylor through one of his sons due to an 1820 deposition of a Mary Stricklin stating that Elizabeth Taylor was an only sister of Aaron Taylor and that she was the wife of Harman Stricklin.
Most researchers acknowledge that William Cain Jr. married Sarah Braswell due to a match in the Edgecombe County wills of William Cain Jr. who names wife Sarah & James Braswell who names daughter Sarah Cain.
William Cain Jr. & Sarah Braswell's sons Elisha, Archibald and William go to Orange/Chatham seemingly after their parents die. Elisha marries a daughter of Benjamin Blake and by so doing becomes a bro in law of Henry Braswell. Per Cain researchers William Cain III dies in Edgefield Co. SC.
William Cain Will: May 1796 Edgefield District, South Carolina; wife, Sarah, daughters, Sally Gaines & Barsheba Cain, son, William Cain, infant sons, Elisha & James Cain
Probate: Jul 1796 Edgefield District, South Carolina.
Elisha & James Cain are found in Jefferson Co., GA. in 1830 on the census. James Cain is found next door to James Brassell* (of the S/H DNA Group) Jefferson Co., GA 1840 James & Elisha on 1850** census Jefferson Co., GA. Both state Edgefield Co., SC as birthplace.
According to my genealogical calculations, the S/H DNA group descends from Susannah's son Richard, and the K/L DNA group descends from Susannah's son James. Therefore Elisha & James Cain, are believed to be great grandsons of James Braswell and cousins of James & Nathan Brassel in Jefferson Co., GA.
