Hello. I'm researching the CAIRNS family in Dinwiddie Co., VA. So far I have very
little information but perhaps someone else will recognize something.
Ava Virginia CAIRNS was born in Dinwiddie Co. abt. 1874. She was probably married twice,
although I do not have a name for her first husband. According to the 1910 census, she was
already the mother of 10 children, 6 of whom were living.
Around 1899, she married Emmett Everett LAWHON, who was born in Columbia, SC. They had
several children -Clyde, Virginia, William, and Bernard. The 1910 census also lists a
Worrly J. who was 11 months old but he is not shown on the 1920 census so probably died.
Also on the 1910 census, was a daughter Mary P. who was 14. This daughter is probably from
her first marriage.
At this point I've hit the wall on Ava. Any help would be appreciated.
