Hello All!
I am brand new to this list....I didn't even know it existed until
today. I have been thinking about starting a CAVIN List for some time,
but just haven't had the chance. Now I don't have to. I am so glad
that Virginia has started this list. CAVIN is not that common of a
surname, so it is good that us CAVIN's now have our own list. Thanks
Virginia!
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 or in
any other State or Country. 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,
