Hi Kerri, My maiden name is Cavins, are you looking for
"Cavins" or
"Cavin",
because I have several of your names listed on some of my geneology
records
and family tree, but they are "Cavins". I'm related to
a SArah, Eli, and a
Mary, and I'm sure there are more. I will go through my records today and
search some more, if any of the names are those you need, I'd be happy to
send you what I have. Good luck in your search. Sandy
