Peter Cain, the proprietor of the first hotel in the village. He was, in the end, an outcast just like the biblical Cain. Peter Cain was married to an Aboriginal woman. He and his wife are buried in the Westbrook family cemetery in Cainsville, because no other cemetery would have him. Peter Cain and his wife are the only people in that cemetery who are not members of the Westbrook family. The Westbrooks were no strangers to Aboriginal people: John and Alexander Westbrook were both traded by the Mohawks to the Mississaugas. John's wife Elizabeth was a niece of Augustus Jones, who married a Mississauga woman, Tuhbenahneequay. The home of their son, Rev. Peter Jones, is marked by a provincial heritage plaque near Cainsville. By contrast, the Westbrook cemetery is hard to find; it is marked by a No Trespassing sign, meant to keep people out of the sewage lagoons beyond. And the small brass plaque dedicated to the early black settlers of Cainsville is gone. It was a little-known plaque marking a little-known history and it is gone. 18
