PS I sent in my dna samples. Probably be a few weeks, hunh?
Jim,
I think it takes 4 to 6 weeks. Congratulations on taking the scientific
plunge. It is so important to have many samples in any scientific study. Your
results will not only help you but many others.
For example we will be able to see if you match Randall Cave, who has his
line proven back to John Cave the Revolutionary Soldier who married Sarah
Wilson Brown. (Other people have this line "proven" back to John Cave who died
ca
1721.)
And it will be a baseline for other Virginia Caves to test against. We
still need in my opinion several Caves to test from each line. Below are the
Cave lines of several past and present members of the Cave Family History
Society in England. I see several mistakes...but I wonder how to contact some of
these people...
Michael
T Randall Cave (481) Virginia and South Carolina
Randall’s father is D Wheaton cave (1928) and grandfather John B (1875) of
South Carolina. Then to James B (1837); John Bunyon (1799) and Elizabeth
Rountree; Benjamin (c1780) of South Carolina and Elizabeth Rountree and finally
(at the moment) John (c 1745) of Virginia.
Rick Anderson (379) Cave of Virginia
Descended from Benjamin Cave (1703) of Virginia through two sons, William
and Richard. The lines of descent come together through his mother, Sona Cave
who married Murl Anderson. This is achieved over seven generations. Rick is
the centre of information on the Cave’s of Virginia. His Web site features in
"Computers and Family History".
Michael Cave (368) Cave of Virginia
Descended from Benjamin Cave of Virginia in the beginning of the 18th
Century, and his father John (1678-1726) and Elizabeth Travers (1689-?). Benjamin
married Hannah Bledsoe in 1720 in Orange County. They had a son John, and so
it goes on. Rick Anderson is in the same family group.
Carolyn Cave Black (383) Cave of Virginia
Descended from the Cave’s of Virginia. Carolyn’s ancestry goes back to
Henry Cave born 1769 in Carolina County Virginia, who married Miss Smith. We then
come to the Benjamin Cave who arrived in Va in 1725, and the question of
their origin. Some say England and descended from William Cave of Pickwell,
1637-1713. It is unfortunate that the only recorded children are, Elizabeth
(1663), William (1664-1665), mary (1669), Ann (1671), William (1674) and John
(1676-1677). My records of Benjamin over this period are: Benjamin of Cold
Overton bapt 21Apr1665, son of John (c1638) and Ann; Benjamin of Leicester bapt
22May1698, son of James and Mary. There may be others, I am sure, but they have
still to be found
Betty K Shuffield (390) Cave of Virginia
Descended from Martha Cave (1827) who married (1st) Willam C Knight (2nd to
John Thomas Carver). Her father was Henry W (1800) and Nancy Jane Bass.
Henry had migrated from Clarke Co Alabama to Clarke Co Mississipi and then to
Milam Co Texas. His parents were John (1774) and Lucinda Causey, then John
(1757) and Sarah Wilson Brown of Barnwell Co South Carolina. This latter John
was a veteran of the American Revolution.
