Surname: Cavendish
-------------------------
I am a newcomer to Cavendish research, but I have a couple of sources
which
seem to argue against your hypothesis (although I must grant they are
secondary
sources).
"Copy of the Marriage Register of Rev. John Alderson, Jr.", The Institute
of American Genealogy, Chicago, IL, no date, p. 3, gives an entry for 13
Jun 1780: "William Hunter Cavendish with Jane Murphy".
Also, a list of early survey records of Greenbrier County in "Greenbrier
County, [W] Virginia Records, Vol. 1, by Larry G. Shuck, Iberian
Publishing
Co., Athens, GA, 1991, p. 12, includes: "Wm Hunter CAVENDISH
275a. Sinking
creek adj. Andw. McFERRAN, 12 Sep 1780."
I know practically nothing of a William Cavendish, claimed to be the son
of William Hunter. He does not appear in Virginia censuses or on
Greenbrier
County tax lists. I am seeking proof for the children of William
Hunter
Cavendish, especially Rebecca. Is his will extant? Are they mentioned in
it?
