Message Board Post:
I just came across your posting of Apr 2013 regarding William H. Cavendish. I wonder if
you have received any replies authenticating his birth.
Assuming he was an illegitimate son of the Cavendish family, I've always wondered what
his mother's name was. I doubt she would have been named Cavendish. Of course, once in
the new world, she could have called herself by any name. Also, two sisters were
mentioned, one of whom married into the McClintic family. Has anyone ever worked on their
history. What was their last name?
I have also come across a theory that WHC was the son of a different Cavendish, this one
being descended from Henry Cavendish, another of the sons of Bess of Hardwicke and the
first William Cavendish.
