I have not been able to find a date of death or place of burial for John
H (Jack) Cave (son of John Brown Cave) He was born Jan 1849 in Clarke Co
AL and died between 1900 and 1910 in Wood Co TX. He married Martha
Lancaster on 4 Nov 1875 in Clarke Co AL. She died between 1884 and 1887
in Wood Co.
Children were Percy M. b. Jan 1879 AL
Lillie May b. 16 Dec 1881 in Wood Co TX
Mary A. b. Nov 1884 in Wood Co.
John Cave m.2 Mary Callie Logan on 6 Nov 1887 in Wood Co.
Child was Clayton b. 6 Jan 1889
I have no information about Clayton. Mary A. married J. R. Willingham on
29 Nov 1901 in Wood Co. Percy m Daisy E. Ramey on 28 Feb 1902 (more info
below)and Lillie m. Herbert J. Wilder on 7 Jul 1900.
Buried in the Quitman Cemetery, Wood Co TX
Percy M. Cave Jan 1879- Mar 29 1911 and
son Tonie Cave Jan 10 1905 - Jul 29 1905
daughter Esty Cave Jul 24 1911 - Dec 13 1912
Lillie Wilder Dec 16 1881 - Jan 16 1960
Herbert J Wilder Oct 10 1875 - Jun 15 1958
I'm sure that John Cave's second wife Mary is also buried in the Quitman
Cemetery, but I can't find that info right now. She died 19 Aug 1942.
I have had to rely on microfilmed records and I have found that TX
offical records for early years are sparse. Even though official birth
and death records started in 1903 (late as far as I'm concerned) many in
my family did not feel compelled to register. My father ws born in 1906,
but didn't get a birth certificate until 1943. I expect that Uncle Sam
was threatening to send greetings at that time, so he had no option
then. Perhaps I could find better information if I were able to go to TX.
