farmer
CAVE(?), Martin W., Grandson, b. Mar. 1888, 12yrs, Mo, Mo, IL
This Martin W. Cave, above, is my grandfather. According to what he wrote
on his marriage license in 1915 in Knox County, Illinois, he was born in Pine
Bluff Arkansas in 1890. I have verified and proved that this Martin W. Cave
above, grandson to Absolom S. Swisher, is my grandfather. But what I have
been unable to learn is where around Pine Bluff Arkansas he was born, and
have had a very very difficult time researching his siblings. Nearly an
impossibility.
So, once again, I am here asking for any help or assistance you can help
with.
