Donna, I believe Mary was a daughter of William and Margaret Skelton Cavin
(who moved to Tennessee from Virginia in the 1790s, according to information
I have been given) and that she was a sister to my ggg-grandfather, Joseph
Cavin. My information is that two of her sons, James and John Christian,
both born in Tennessee, lived in Stoddard County as adults, which is near
the boothill section of Missouri, the far southeast section.
I have been told that William's mother was named Anna Cavin. You will find
more information on the Cavins at

My 3rd great grandmother was Mary Cavin who married Lewis Christian,
Jr.
Both from Hawkins Cty, TN. Mary was eventually buried in Stoddard Cty, MO
when she joined her son after husband's death. This is all I know about
the
Cavins. Could this be a relationship? I hope so. I would love to
hear
from you.
