I believe that the parent's names are Alexander "Alex" Clinton Cavin and
Mary Martha Elizabeth Martin married 3 February, 1870 in Lee County, VA by R. B. McGuire.
Alex was born June 1852/53 in Floyd County, KY and died 20 August, 1927 in Lee Co. His
parent were William Cavin (b. 1815/1816 in TN) and Mary "Polly" Tussy in Hawkins
County, TN. William was the son of Ananias Cavin (born ~1785, VA) and Margaret Hamilton.
Ananias Cavin was the son of William and Margaret Skelton Cavin. Margaret Hamilton was
the daughter of William Robert Hamilton and Sarah Bell Brandon who came to Hawkins County,
Tn in 1792. This information comes from 'Distant Crossroads' in articles by Sue
Daniel McKinnon and Patricia Scruggs Trollinger.
