I would have liked to know more about who Cain, Abel, Seth (and any other sons) married in those early years.

They married the daughters of Adam and Eve. Duh.

I know that. (After all, Eve is the mother of all living), But I would like to know more about who these daughters were, how long they were fertile (assuming they lived for 400+ years as many of these folks seemed to, etc.

There are stories in apocryphal books like The Book of Enoch, but those are not reliable and are often imbued with Gnosticism.

Right answer.
Every Christian apologist is tired of this question. People rarely ask it out of genuine interest or curiosity, rather they seem to think that it is a self-evident, self-refutation within the Bible, as if the Bible is just another mythological storybook.

Then when you say he married his sister, they persist saying, “That is incest!” That is another type of internal contradiction, that the Bible contradicts its own morality. so then you must discuss what incest actually is and why or Who makes it wrong and how. It isn’t incest, it is actually consanguineous marriage. In some states, you can still marry your first cousin even now.

Next they question that there could be any number of daughters of Adam and Eve not named in Genesis, to which I respond with,
“In the Bible women don’t count.”
“What?!”
“You know like in the feeding of the five thousand, it says 5000 men, and no count of how many women and children. Women and children don’t count.”
And then, “That is so sexist!!”
There it ends.
