Since Cain was banished from the 'face(s) of the earth' and was hid(den) from the 'face of God' he was forced to seek a wife from another source. To say anything else would be at odds with the former statement.

God does not say one thing and then refute it by adding a statement contrary to the first. Therefore his wife did not come from the camp of Adam & Eve because he was banished by God.

From this it is only logical that his wife was from another camp. The only clue we are given is that the wife was an inhabitant of the land of Nod. This was not Adam's territory. Therefore she is not Adam's descendant.

You can read of Adams genealogy, in the Bible or,

By Googling the Genealogical Chart.

One note, as a rule daughters were not recorded unless they had a specific role in the Story of Jesus's Ancestry

Hi Kate.

Genesis 4:16-17. And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

AND CAIN KNEW HIS WIFE; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

I believe Cain was already married when he went out from the presence of the LORD.

ALL people come from Adam and Eve.

God bless.
