Apparently neither did Mrs. Westenhaver. As you know, in her book she mentioned Charles
Cawthorn, a 'Revolutionary soldier, as appearing in Goochland records in 1786, and
married to to a Mary Sanders.
Also on page 463, she cites a couple of other sources: do you have those?
Apparently Charles father would have been either Thomas, Robert, or Christopher. (Who is
the William you mention?)
Is there any record that you have found of where these 'Cawthorn's' came
from?
