Hello - There is a HUGE tree with all these Cavenders and more. The first
child of James and Rebecca could be your William. Remember that in the early
days of Tennessee, the county lines changed regularly, as new ones were
created. Let me know if you want the whole file. We have no information on
any descendants for this William Cavender. (P.S. Both my grandfather and
g-grandfather were William Cavenders, though both went by other names.)

Hello everyone. I have very little information about my family's past. If
anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. This is what I know (or
think I know).
My Great Grandfather was William Cavender, he married Mattie (last name
not known).
We believe William died around 1916 and Mattie married a Rails
around 1918.
My grandfather Floyd (b 11/20/1900 d 09/1951) married Minnie Littlejohn
around
1928. They had two children, Dayphon and (Howard) Ray. At the time
my grandfather Floyd was born, there were 8 children. 1) brother named
Robert married Hazel (unknown). Robert died in his 60's.(?) They had two
daughters, Dorothy (married a man out of Nashville and had son called
"Chuck"), Margrett married someone local and had children. 2) Charlie
married Mitchie (unknown). They lived near Ridgely, they had two sons,
William and Gene. At one time William lived in Memphis and Gene was in
Chicago (each had children). 3) a 1/2 brother named Walter Molton (lived
somewhere around Mt. Pleasant), had children. 4)Sister named Hattie. 5)
Sister Becky married a Brown, they lived in Arkansas and raised a family.
Any help would be appreciated.
