My 4th great grandfather is Ananias Cavin who married Mary Jones, 25 Dec 1833, daughter of
James & Catherine Speer Jones. Ananias Cavin was born in 24 Dec 1814 in Hawkins Co. TN
to Ananias & Margaret Hamilton Cavin. Ananias Cavin was born 1785 in VA to William and
Margaret Skelton Cavin. This Ananias and his brother John Cavin fought in the War of 1812.
The Ananias b. 24 Dec 1814 moved from Hawkins Co TN with his family to Washington Co. AR
before the 1850 census. Six of their 11 children were born in Hawkins Co. TN including my
3rd great grandmother, Julia Ann Cavin, who married Benjamin Harrison Brotherton
originally of Greene Co TN.
