Well, I really don't know of any PA family. My g g g grandfather is William Cavender,
born in Ohio (1826/7). I have his father (unknown name, maybe Robert) as being born in
Maryland. If you go to
http://www.familysearch.org or any place that has the 1880 census
available, search for Filmore Cavender. This is the family I am linked to. I really do
not have much information before William other than I am 99.8% sure his mother was named
Jane.
William settled in Owen County, IN with his wife Elizabeth McGuire, married March 5, 1852.
In the 1860 Owen County Census a woman named Jane is living with William and Elizabeth
and is off proper age to be his mother. I have also come across two names as possible
siblings to William, they are Delilah Cavender Bushy (1823ish) and Benjamin E. Cavender
(1845ish) Let me know if I can give you any further information that might help link the
two families.
