Howard,
I think we're nearing a breakthrough on Cavitt generations, too long
misunderstood. Could you tell me the relationship
of the Richard Cavitt who settled in Sumner (or Robertson*) County, TN about
1793?
(*This Richard Cavitt settled almost on the line between
Sumner and Robertson Counties, and, historically, the line shifted for a
mile or so in either direction, causing many
residents to leave their descendents wondering just "who
was who" and where they really lived.)

No, Alexander Cavett was Thomas Cavett's uncle; Alexander was the
brother
of
Thomas' father, Moses Cavett, and also the brother of Richard and Michael
Whitley Cavett.
Moses and Agnes Cabett's son, Richard Cavett, stated in his Revolutionary
War
pension declaration that his parents had five daughters and four sons.
From
what I have been able to piece together, including info from this List,
their
children were:
Richard Cavett, born in 1765, per his Revolutionary War pension
application,
in Augusta County, VA.
John Cavett, born in 1766 or 1767 in Augusta County, VA. Lived
successively
in Botetourt and Fincastle Countiies, VA and in Sullivan, Jefferson and
Wilson
Counties, TN.
Susanna Cavett, born in 1768 in Augusta County, VA; first married William
Shoemaker in 1789 in Sullivan County, TN, and second married John Moses.
Rebecca Cavett, who first married a man named Bosley and later married
John
Holloway on 3/17/1790 in Sullivan County, TN, and later moved to Roane
County,
TN.
Moses Cavett married a woman named Elizabeth, moved to Madison County, MO,
and died there by 1823, leaving widow Elizabeth, a son Isaac Cavett, and a
daughter, Elizabeth Cavett O'Donel.
Thomas Cavett, born about 1786, married Mary Neff in 1806, divorced her in
1815 in Knox County, and was a captain of the Knox County, TN militia from
1812
- 1822. Left Knox County in 1824 and nothing definitive is known about
him
thereafter.
Judith (Betsey) Cavett married Jonah Bowman on 1/15/1799 in Knox County.
Daughter Cavett, died before 1802 or disinherited. May be the Elizabeth
Cavett who married William D. Butler on 2/7/1800 in Knox County, TN.
Daughter Cavett, died before 1802 or disinherited.
