CAVIN - I am seeking any information about the CAVIN family in Gaston
Co./Iredell Co./Rowan Co./Alexander Co., or Lincoln Co. area of NC. I
have found descendants in the Mount Holly, McAdenville, Stanley,
Gastonia, NC area. I would love to have correspondence re. CAVIN's in
other areas of NC or elsewhere. My g-g-g-Grandfather is ROBERT CAVIN,
born around 1775 (?) in Co. Cavan, Ireland and immigrated to the US in
the late 1700's to early 1800's and settled near Hiddenite, NC early
1800's(?). He was married to the former Miss SUSIE HAYNES. Children
include: ZIZA GATES CAVIN, SALLIE CAVIN, WILLIAM H. CAVIN and ROBERT
WINSTON CAVIN.
I think that my g-g-g-Grandfather ROBERT CAVIN may have entered the US
through PA (BUCKS Co.?) before settling in NC, but I have no proof of
this. Being the stubborn Irishman that he could have been, he probably
swam over from Ireland, for I have yet to locate him or any other of my
CAVIN's on any Ship's Passenger Lists on the Internet. Help!
Kindest Regards,
