Hi Mary,
I read, with interest, your DAR information about Joseph Cavender. I was wondering if
there was listed, the county or city of Joseph's death? I have a feeling that Joseph
may be related to my Richmond Cavender of Henderson County, KY. He married Mary
Chissenhall in Posey County, IN, which were adjacent to one another with the Ohio River
dividing the two states. He was born between 1800-1810 in KY.
I am trying to piece together clues to hopefully come to a conclusion of who his father
was. I think that he might have been born in Christian County, KY. I have listed a
possible family that someone sent to me. Note: Richmond Cavender was NOT married to Nancy
Hardesty! I have documented proof of that. Here goes:
According to DAR Application No 647898 which was filed March 15, 1979 in the Mt. Garfield
Chapter of Delta, Colorado DAR, by Bernice Cavender Cockroft ("Bernice
Cockroft") wife of Albert A. Cockroft ("Albert Cockroft"), then residing at
Austin, Colorado, RR1, P.O. Box 155-D, 81410, she stated that she was a descendant of the
above Joseph Cavender who subsequently married a Zervia Aikens ("Zaraviah
Aikens"?) and that Joseph Cavender had the following additional children:
Richmond Cavender born about 1805 and married a Nancy Hardesey
actally "Nancy Hardesty") on either January 17, 1825 or on January 18, 1825 in
Henderson County, Kentucky. Nancy Hardesty was the daughter of Henry Hardesty and Hannah
Howard;
Ezekiel Cavender born about 1806, first married a Sarah and later married Lucinda Hancock
on August 16, 1826 in Henderson County, Kentucky; Obedience Cavender who married Alpheus
Palmer ("Alpheneus Palmer"?) on April 20, 1824 in Christian County, Kentucky.
Assuming she was 18 years old when she married, then she would have been born about
1806.279 However, Obedience Cavender may have been the daughter of Thomas Cavender who was
the son of Joseph Cavender; and,
Joseph Cavender, Jr. ("Joseph H. Cavender"?) born about 1810 in Tennessee and
married a Zervia Aikens.
Maybe this information will help. I haven't confirmed any of it yet, though.
Have a great day!
Lynn Clarke
