I have a William Cavin, who married Margaret Skelton and was in Tn. by 1797.
I don't know where he was born. Do you have any approximate dates? Do
you have any idea if your William ever left Toronto?

Subject: [CAVIN-L] my cavens
I have recently seen my caven's (from scotland then toronto, ca)
spelled
several different ways. Kevan, Kaven, Caven, Cavan, Cavens. Does anyone
have
any information on a William Caven whose father is John. He was a
well
known
presbyterian minister who has a library at Knox College (toronto)
named
after
him. I have been told that some of the Cavens were on the wigton
marter
roles
in wigton scotland. Please let me know if you have any info as i am
constantly
running into brick walls with this family.
