I am excited about finding other people with Cavendish ancestors. I was beginning to
believe my gr-grandmother was beamed here from outer space. We always thought that
Cavendish was an Irish name. So I enjoyed reading the history of William Cavendish. I
have only been working with my genealogy since May 2000. It took me this long to find out
that my gr-grandmother was born on, April 30, 1861, in Deitz, WV on Walkup Farm. Her name
was Mary Florence Walkup, Hammond, Mallaly, and Copeland. Her parents were Charles Walkup
and Margaret Cavendish. I have some Fayette Democrat clippings about Rev. I.C. Cavendish
and A.A. Cavendish dated September 6, 1886. Rev. I.C. Cavendish was a cousin of my
gr-grandmother. I would appreciate any help that anyone is able to offer.
Sincerly,
