James, I am also a descendant of Joseph Cavin of Hawkins Co., TN, and Polk County, MO.
According to info that Dr. Burdette of Tennessee copied from the writings of Joseph's
granddaughter, Corabelle Burdette, Polly was Joseph's first wife and she died in
Bedford Co., TN, at about the age of 23. Do you believe this to be incorrect?
I am aware that there is a land document in the Polk Co. courthouse with a later date
(after the Bedford Co. Polly supposedly died) that indicates Joseph's wife was called
Polly. I would very much appreciate any information or opinion on this subject that you
have.
I would also be willing to help pay for upkeep of the cemetery on Joseph's old farm.
