Kat, does the book "The Scots-Irish in the Hills of Tennessee" say where the
author got the
information that some Cavins immigrated from North Carolina to Hawkins and
Washington counties?
Are there any names or dates for any of the Cavins in the book?
Do you know where I could find a copy of this book?
Thank you for this posting!!! Information about my Tennessee Cavin family
is scarce, and this was a real treat.
Best regards,
Charlotte
