Sorry i meant to hit "Tab"
I lived for a very short time at Cawood, Ky when i ws a child and had no idea
the one for whom the place was named was probably a collateral family of my
mother`s Alexandria, Va. family.
FYI and just for fun.
I loved the place.
I think it was a coal mining town at that time and mother met friends who
had come there from Al. to work.
It was definitely backwoods country of Ky. Our house was unpainted brown wood
on Pilings over the creek or River.
There was a swinging bridge like one sees in places like Gatlinburg, Tn. now
and are so fascinating. It was fascinating to me as I had lived in Wash. D. C.
We bathed in a zinc tub and rinced our hair with rain water to make it shine.
Mom cooked on a coal stove and we had a pot bellied heater in the middle of
the living room/bedroom. People shared anything they had with less fortuante
relatives and friends when times got "harder". I learned to swim which I love to
dau still in the waters of the river and jumped off the swinging bridge.
I got very sick that summer and believe it was probably waste in the river.
If I could go back to that summer (1945)I would love to.
I`m sure I must have a Moses Cawood line from Charles Co. md. whose sons went
into alexandria, Va. about 1800.
I may be of the Benjamin Cawood and Ann Frishwater (?) family but can`t prove
it yert.
