Dia Dhuit , Hello to All!
A really BIG THANKS goes out to Virginia Ewing and to Cliff Dullea for
their postings earlier this week, concerning their (and our) CAVINs. It
was really super of them to take the time and effort to share with all
of us this valuable information. Some of you responded to them with
your CAVINs. Why not share this information with all of us by posting
any new information that you have to the List. Or, just re-post the
information on your CAVINs that you have posted before. There are a
good many new members to our List, who haven't seen some of your
postings before, so why not put your them back out there for all to see.
Besides, it sure has been awfully quite on the List lately. I know that
I've been tied up at work lately, myself.
I know that many of you do not live in NC, as I do, but for those of you
who do live in NC, I am a member of "The Alexander Co. (NC) Genealogical
Society, Inc." (got our List advertised in their quarterly publication,
"The Alexander County Journal"), "The Alexander Co. (NC) Ancestry
Association, Inc." and "The Genealogical Society of Iredell Co. (NC)".
I'm planning on joining "The Gaston Co. (NC) Genealogical Society"
soon. (Gaston Co., NC is my Home County.) Do any of you belong to any
other Genealogical Societies (anywhere) that might have CAVINs in the
area? Would love to hear from you. Again, post this information to the
List, so that others might see it.
Have any of you visited "The CAVIN Family Genealogy Forum" at
http://www.genforum.com/cavin lately? We have a good many new postings
and follow-ups there. Guess we showed them that CAVIN is not really
that rare of a Surname. [:<D (Tho' I sometimes wonder.)
Well, gotta git fer now. Hope all of you are doing well.
Slån go foille, Bye for now
Best Regards,

When you are right, you are right!! I want to also thank Virginia and
Cliff. I don't have a lot of info, for my Cavin link, but I am happy to
share what I do have. Basically I have hit a major brick wall with my
Cavins, and the fact that I don't know much makes it even harder.
What I do know: My GGGrandmother was named Mary M. Cavin. Mary was
reportedly born in MO, and died and is buried in Colorado springs, CO. She
married Adam M. List sometime about 1881 or 1882, in the State of MO. Adam
was previously married to a women named America. On the 1870 Polk Co. Mo
census, I found a very bad copy as follows: Dw. # 122, Fam# 122 Joseph
Cavin, age 56 Farmer, real estate 1280, personal prop. 1000.
Mary (daughter), there were at least four other people in the household
listed but they were not readable. They were found just a few families away
from Adam List and first wife America J.

I don't know if this info will help anyone, but that is what I have. If
anyone makes a connection with The middle Joseph Cavin (Mary's father) I
would greatly appreciate any help.
Good luck to all!
