In trying to get all of the proof and documentation necessary to file for my DAR
membership on John Cave, Jr., I determined the following and would like everyone's
help/opinion ...
John Cave, Jr. (b. abt. 1757, VA - d. abt. 1812, Barnwell Co., SC)
m. Sarah Wilson Brown
What I have determined is that "Sarah Brown" was probably the daughter of
Bartlett Brown and Katherine Holcomb and her first husband was James Wilson who died in
1784 ...
Sarah's 1st Cousin was Tarlton Brown (who was a Rev. War Vet and Capt.)
Tarlton's father William and other family members were killed by the Tories ... date
unknown ...
Therefore, if Sarah didn't marry John Cave, Jr. until aft. 1784,
WHO WAS JOHN'S 1ST WIFE???
John's children born before 1784:
David (b. bet 1770-1774)
William (b. bet 1775-1780)
John (whom I descended) (b. bet 1775-1784)
Berry Moore (b. 5 Dec 1779)
Henry (b. abt. 1780)
Benjamin W. (b. 1780)
John's children born after 1784:
Nathan B. (b. bet 1785-1790)
Rebecca (b. abt 1790)
Tarlton (b. abt. 1790)
Zelphia (b. abt. 1790)
Alphia (b. abt. 1790)
Sarah Brown (b. abt. 1790)
Elizabeth (b. abt. 1790)
