Greetings to all Cavenders.
I'm one of the seemingly few U.K. Cavenders who has just stumbled over this
fascinating website. I've read every query, link and thread and have been galvanised
into action.
I am in the very early stages of growing my family tree and am looking for help in tracing
the lineage from James Cavender b.1835 Gloucestershire, England(m.Mary White). I am
seeking confirmation as to whether James (1835) had a son, Benjamin (b.1863) who, I am
told, emigrated to Iowa in 1888. Also any information on James Cavender Jnr. (b. 1867) who
I am told was a police chief in Iowa, would be greatly appreciated. I am also led to
believe that Benjamin had a son, James Vere b. 1893 but I need some concrete evidence.
So far my tree reads:
Robert (that's me) b.1967
Daniel Austin,(father) b.1936
Daniel,(gfather) b.1910
Tom, (g,gfather) b.1873 (m. Sarah Ellen Havron 1909)
James, (g,g,gfather)b.1835 (m. Mary White 1862)
Many thanks in anticipation,
Robert
