Did you go to the above link that I sent with my first email? - It has
5-6
pages this was page one telling about George and Elizabeth.......
1. GEORGE1 CAVEN was born Unknown in IRELAND, and died Unknown in MIAMI
COUNTY, OHIO. He married ELIZABETH MAGAW Unknown in IRELAND.
Notes for GEORGE CAVEN:
According to the information available, it would seem most likely that
George married Elizabeth MAGAW, and after their first three children has
been
born, they emmigrated from Ireland to America.
It is stated in some notes that George Father's name was JAMES CAVEN.
The first definite record we have obtained on the Cavens is in
Rockbridge County, Virginia (county seat Lexington) where a deed is
recorded on
September 6, 1796, for a consideration of 300 pounds( a Virginia
pound
equaled
$3.33- 160 acres of land was transfered from Charles Kirkpatrick to
George
Caven.
On September 6, 1813 George Caven and wife Elizabeth deeded this 160
acres to Nicholos Wynant in consideration of $1120. George and Elizabeth
Caven
also deeded on August 2, 1813, a lot of one-half acre on Main Street
(presumable in Lexington) for a consideration of $30.00 to John Wilson.
The family traditional notes say that the Cavens came from near
Housetop Mountain, Rockbridge County, Virginia. The is no Housetop
Mpountain in
Virginia, but there is a Big House Mountain about seven or eight
miles
west of
Lexington.
On November 5, 1813, George Caven received a patent deed from the
United States Goverment for the S.W. Quarter of section 2, Town 2, Range
12,
Springcreek Township, Miami County, Ohio. His oldest son, George M.
Caven,
had
entered the quarter section next south on November 29, 1808, and
another
son, John
A. Caven, had entered the second quarter section east of George M.
Caven's
on
November 26, 1812. George Caven, Sr., and wife Elizabeth, on March
10,
1829, deeded or sold the south half of their quarter to their son David
Caven, and also on March 31, 1831, deeded the north half to another son,
James
Caven.
No exact date has been found for the death of George Caven,. possibly
occuring not long after he disposed of his farm in 1829 and 1831.
