stretch, but does this info link to any of your William CAVINs? If
not, does anyone have any ancestoral info on this William CAVIN and/or

I have recently come across a CAVIN family in Loudoun Co., VA and am
looking
to find out more about them. There are several listed in the 1782
Loudoun
Co Census. Patrick, John, Joseph, Thomas, Edward, and two Williams.
According to the the will of John Cavin (written on 11-27-1787 and
proved in
Jan. 1793), John had three sons, William, Joseph, and Robert
(decreased).
Robert had two sons William and John. There was at least one
daughter
because of the mention of a grand-daughter, Elizabeth Wilson. There
are
legatees listed as Elener Nixon (nee Wilson), James and Alex Wilson.
The
executor was son, William Cavin. A sister, Elizabeth Burton was
listed.
Other documents listed Patrick Cavin as an executor for the Jacob
Coutzman
and Matthew Campbell estates in 1780 and 1782, respectively.
William was
listed as an appraiser for the ext. of Giles Stephens in 1774, and
as an
executor for James Richardson's estate in 1779. Patrick was
listed
as an
appraiser for the Richardson estate, also. John Cavin was listed as
an
appraiser for the estates of William Griffin and John Bell in 1777.
Marriages listed are : Robert Cavin and Ann Todd on 12-15-1764 and
Patrick
Cavan and Sarah Baker in 1798.
Apparently Robert and Ann Todd Cavin were the parents of William and
John,
grandsons of John Cavin.
Can anyone shed any further light on these Cavins? Is William
Cavin, the
grandson of John Cavin, the same person who married Margaret Skelton
in
Caroline Co., VA and moved to Hawkins Co., TN about 1798?
