Surname: CABANISS, DOERING, SPOTSWOOD, WIEGAND
-------------------------
I'm searching for information relating to the marrage of Robert Bolling
Cabaniss, Sr. to Marie Wiegand. Robert was the son of Charles E. Cabaniss
and Lucy Anne Spotswood. He was born around 1884 in Victoria, Texas, and
died on March 14, 1939 in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. He is buried
in the Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah.
Marie was the daughter of John Wiegand and Marie Magdalene Doering. One
source says that she was born on November 12, 1892 in Augusta, Georgia...
another source says November 29, 1891. According to the Bonaventure Cemetery
index, she died on November 13, 1981 in Savannah, Georgia.
Marie and Robert had two children that I know of: Robert Cabaniss, Jr.
and Charles Wiegand Cabaniss, Sr. Both sons are listed in the Bonaventure
Cemetery Index. Robert was a prominent musician and composer who died at
Beech Island, South Carolina. Charles spent 30 years as a newswriter and
columnist for major newspapers throughout the United States.
I have been unable to locate any other information about these individuals,
and have not been able to located any living relatives. Please let me know
if you can help.
Thanks,
Peter Nesbitt
