my Cavin line:
Most of my information came from people born and raised in Wilkinson co., MS
and who descended from this line. I have also used census records and trips to
the Woodville courthouse to check what could be checked and to add such things
as marriage dates. Trips to cemeteries helped fill in some dates.
