I hate to bother all of you......but could some one please send me the
following pages of the Cavitt Book? I need page 67, 68, and 69.
Apparently I lost them in my last crash...and some how they didn't get
backed up.
Thank you!
Rita

Michael,
Elizabeth Tinnin (b. Abt. 1795) was the daughter of Alexander Tinnin and
Mary Armstrong, the only daughter of my ancestors, Captain William and
Jane
Lapsley Armstrong of Orange County, NC. Theif eldes son William Lapsley
Armstrong married Mary Cavitt, son of Richard Cavitt, b. 1749, and I
believe
she had a brother named Moses.
Which Moses Cavitt gets to be the question. After two recent modem
crashes, my genealogy files are still in a mess, but I will try to find
this for you.

Greetings from beautiful Southeast Kansas!
Rita requested that we send a list of names we are researching. My husband
Shawn and I are searching for African-American Cavitts. Spelling varies (as
you know!) and we have found family using the following: CAVITT, CAVITTE,
CABOT, CAVIT, CAVETT. Our ancestors are from the Robertson County, Texas
area. We are still looking for the parents of SAM CAVITT
b. 12/25/1865 or 69. Sam is my husband's ggggrandfather. He was probably
born to parents who were slaves of the Cavitt family near Hearne or Wheelock
or Bryan, Texas. Hence the difficulty finding any record of his birth and
parents.
Might I suggest a television show that we are really anxious to see? It is
called "Family Name" and it is part of the Point of View series on PBS, airing
nationally on Tuesday, September 15th. I'm not sure what time it will be
on... anyway, it is a documentary done by a white man named Alston who, in the
course of his genealogical adventure, discovers that his family owned masses
of slaves. He tracked down some of the descendants of those slaves and got
to know them. The documentary shows both the white Alston reunion and the
African-American Alston reunion, and explores the attitudes and culture of
both. Looks very interesting and I thought we all might try to watch it,
since we've got something similar going on with the Cavitts.
Love you all - we have learned so much from you!!!
Shawn and Pam Cavitt
Good Morning to all of you! I trust that all of you had a safe and
happy weekend.
Since we have some new members that have joined the list....I thought
that some of you might want to re-post the names that you are
researching.
And yes....*grin* I shall get more of the Cavitt book scanned and
posted...I just had to take a break! If there are any new members that
do not have what I have done so far....please drop me a note and I shall
send it right off to you.
Thanks!
Rita

1976. =20
The Scots-Irish Came to America
The term Scots-Irish is used to describe the Scots settled into
northern Ireland in the late 17th and early 18th century. In Ireland
and
the United Kingdom, they are known as Ulster Scots. There were some
200,0=
00
Scots that were settled into Ireland and from their descendants some
2,000,000 eventually settled in North America.
The Lowland Scots were by and large Protestant (Presbyterians),
the Highland Scots were primarily Catholic. Irish Catholics and
Protesta=
nt
Irish and Scots were all unable to practice their faiths as they saw fit
and were required to pay 10% of their income to the Anglican Church.
Thi=
s
along with trade restrictions on export and import caused many of these
people to emigrate. =20
The main Scots-Irish emigration to the US began around 1714 with
the earliest known migration in 1652. Many went to the western counties
=
of
Pennsylvania, between the Susquehanna River and the Allegheny Mountains.
=
A
large group went down the Shenandoah Valley in 1732. By 1745, the
Scots-Irish were 1/4 of the population of PA. That increased to 1/3 of
t=
he
population by 1770. According to a PBS special on Irish immigrants,
Protestant Irish formed 4/5ths of the Pennsylvania Continental line

Indian Cessions in TN
This site has a map in thumbnail and large forms, and a paper
which discusses it...the large version has a lot of the early
traces and trails on it, too.
But it sort of helps explain why people settled in the areas when
they did...
