I am trying to track down a person whose name was C. W. Cable. This name comes from the
back of a picture that appears to be my gg grandmother Martha Lloyd. Martha L. Goodwin
Lloyd was the wife of David McGee Lloyd. Martha died in 1867 in Mississippi. David Lloyd
subsequently married Nancy Ann Frances Knox. They only had one child, Rebecca Charlotte
Lloyd who became the second wife of William E. Cable-born (according to 1900 census) March
1860 in North Carolina. Rebecca and William Cable only had 3 children that I have been
able to determine. A couple of years ago a picture turned up in the possession of a man in
(I believe Ohio) who had purchased the picture at a flea market. On the back of the
picture is the notation
Martha Lloyd-and below that is written --C. W. Cable Album.
Does anyone researching the Cable family know who C. W. Cable might be.
