Hello to All!
For those of you who are new to the CAVIN-List and for those who are
"veterans" of the List, I am re-posting my CAVIN query. With ya'lls
help I feel that I'm getting a little closer to climbing over that ol'
proverbial brick wall. Not quite there yet, but I have been given a few
great clues.
I am seeking any information about the CAVIN family of Alexander
Co./Iredell Co./Rowan Co./ Gaston Co. area of NC, and Spartanburg Co.,
SC (or other counties in SC). I have immediate family living in the
Spartanburg, SC area along with ancestors in the Mount Holly,
Taylorsville, Hiddenite, McAdenville, Stanley, Gastonia area of NC. I
would love to have correspondence re. CAVIN's in other areas of NC/SC or
elsewhere.
My g-g-g-Grandfather is ROBERT CAVIN, born around ±1750 (?) in Co.
Cavan, Ireland. He immigrated to the US in the late 1700's to early
1800's and settled near Hiddenite, NC, in what was called at that time,
Iredell Co. He was married to the former Miss SUSAN (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!
