Re: Looking for info on a Leaford Cavin

boynton1 — 2012-05-07 02:03:05Z

I have the family pictures[100`s of old pictures from the 1890s through maybe 1960]/scrapbooks/some letters/cards etc. Some dating from the late 1800s through 1990 when Genevieve Cavin died. They are from the Leaford Hoyt and Genevieve Cavin family of the Topeka, Kansas area. Leaford died in 1974 of a massive heart attack. The collection even has an old poster advertising Leford H. Cavin "Evangelist". I`m looking for a family member of this Cavin family interested in having these Cavin family records. I rescued them from an auction here in Concordia, Mo. Dave Boynton

According to family info passed down and not confirmed:

My grandfather, Henderson (Henry) Cavin was the son of William Riley Cavin(2/10/1841 - 5/24/1918) and America Collins. He was the oldest of 3 children, William, Harrison, and Martha) America (called Sis) 3/4/1841-10/16/1897, was the daughter of Jacob and Hannah Welch Collins of Douglas County, MO. I would like to know more of this family, and if this information is correct.

Am Looking for information on William Riley Cavin Junior and his wife America (Native American)
William Riley was born in Louisiana and America was born on the reservation in Arkansas according to the info I have. I've been hearing about America in the Cavin family but was surprised to find it in my children's fathers line on his mothers line. His father's mother said that they have Cavin's in that line also. This is getting confused.

The Cavins in the Ofallon, IL area (to include Sandoval, Patoka, and that surrounding area in Southern IL) were from James Franklin Cavins born 10 June 1852 in Hardin Co, KY. He died 02 Nov 1921 and is buried in Fredonia Church Cemetary. He is the eldest son of James Rumsey Cavins and Elizabeth Elvira. Elizabeth Elvira was born 27 Feb 1826 and died 13 Oct 1902.

James Franklin Cavins married Caroline Todd 7 Feb 1876. She was born 10 Mar 1858 in the Centralia, IL area. She died 15 April 1934 and is buried in Fredonia Church Cemetary. James Franklin had at least 2 sisters - Josie Cavins who married John Meredith 11 Sep 1881 and Mattie Cavins who was born 19 May 1855 and married a MC Haney.

Children of James Franklin & Caroline (Todd) Cavins are:
-Mattie bell Cavins 28 Aug 1876 - 10 Dec 1929
-CHARLEY ELMER CAVINS 31 Jan 1879 - 8 Dec 1965
-Alice May Cavins 9 Dec 1881 - 29 Jul 1907 (never married & buried Fredonia Church Cemetary)
-Jennie Lois Cavins 3 July 1884 - 31 Aug 1945 (married Edward belcher 24 Mar 1904)
-James Franklin Cavins 5 Mar 1887 - 27 Sep 1948
-William Harry Cavins 7 Dec 1889 - 13 jan 1965
-Blanche Caroline Cavins 31 Jul 1892 - 3 jan 1981 (married (1) Calvin Belcher (2) Ivert Goodall
-Clarence Erastus Cavins 22 Jan 1895 - 8 Nov 1951 (married Lucy Hoyt)
-Grace Vivian Cavins 6 mar 1898 - 25 Nov 1904 (buried Fredonia Church Cemetary)
-Lee Raymond Cavins 15 Nov 1900 - 7 Aug 1978 (in a cemetary in Ofallon, Il with his wife Kathryn (Fischer) Cavins

Lee Raymond Cavins is my grandfather... I am familiar with parts of the family in Ofallon, Granite City, the Southern Il areas.

If Charley Elmer Cavins is your relative, then he married Elizabeth Gordon. Their children are Lillie, Leta, Dorothy, Elmer, Thomas, Rubin, Ida, Lucy, and Betty Lou Ellen Cavins.

I'm trying to learn more about the James Wesley Cavin who came to Oklahoma Territory after the Land Run of 1891 and was one of the first land patent holders on record.

I have a family group sheet from a Cavin researcher so I have that type data. Now I'd like to find a descendant or family member who could tell me something about his life... any stories... that sort of thing.

I know he lived in southern Cleveland County, Oklahoma in an area named BOX. He was married to Purlina Angeline Pressley (b. 1856, d. 1935) -- she is buried in the Box Cemetery.

If you can help me with this project, I'd be most grateful. Thanks ever so much

MaeCox — 2011-04-21 21:36:15Z

AHA! That's them. Are you from this family? The reason I ask is ....

This particular family lived in the Box, O.T. area before statehood -- they, and a whole lot of others were first settlers to this area and were part of the history of that little community. I have tax census and tax records showing their name as living there.

Currently I'm working on a book to preserve the history of this little community. I've found several -- but not all -- the families, hence my post here to try and glean enough information to make them part of my book. I'm hoping to find descendants who can share stories and photos.

If you can help me with this endeavor I'd be most grateful... you can contact me directly at mazie@coxok.com. Thanks so much for responding and I look forward to getting acquainted with you.

Oh wow... I hope this is the one I'm hunting...

The Robert Cavin I'm talking about married Mary Bivens. They lived in the southern part of Cleveland County. I have absolutey no info on these folks, except for a bit on the Bivens family.

The John Cavin Is John W. Cavin -- at least that's the name on tax records for School district 61 -- the school for Box, Oklahoma.

Would this be the same family?

Hi Mae,

Yes I have some information. Robert John (sometimes John Robert) moved to Canadian Township, Cleveland Co, OK after the death of his wife (Martha Lucinia Matthews) in Jackson Co, AL. He is my husband's third great grandfather. I believe I have a picture of him somewhere.

He is living with his son and daughter-in-law, John M and Nancy (Shelton) Cavin. and next door to his grandson and wife, John and Sally Owens.

My husband descends through Robert and Martha's daughter, Martha Angeline Cavin who married William Davis; their daughter, Selma Selvia Davis who married William Earon Finley, their son Jesse Willie Finley who married Lela Mae Luttrell, their daughter, Claudie Mae Finley who married William Guy Peel (Earnie's father).

Does anyone know about, or might be related to the John W. Cavin or Robert Cavin families that lived in southern Cleveland County back in the 1890s and early 1900s? More precisely, they lived in and around the community of Box, Oklahoma, a small but thriving town during that period.

Re: Rookie needs HELP!!!

bslater98 — 2011-02-28 21:52:38Z

I only met my Aunt Bernice once, but I do know she was the daughter of Mable Miller and Henderson W. Cavin. (Not sure about the W., but Henderson usally went by Henry or Hank). She had three older brothers, Miller, Lyle, and Glenn; and one younger sister, Maxine, my mother. They were born in South Dakota. Bernice was living with Miller in Atlantic, Iowa while in High School. During the war she was in California and that is where my mother lost track of her. They got together again about 1990 and visited back and forth a few times. Bernice moved to Waterloo, Iowa to be close to Glenn and his family. She died there a few years back - our cousin Robert took care of her. We never new where any of her family was and I was always confused about her history. It just seemed she had a very sad life.
I have a lot of family history if you are interested. We have traced the Millers and Olivers from Ireland and the Cavins from Misouri.

My records show Bernice born in 1918, married to Donald Anderson and a Daughter Joan Anderson.

Re: Rookie needs HELP!!!

TracyMcMom — 2011-02-28 19:50:08Z

Thank you so much DonnaMilano for your input. I am new to genealogy and have been teaching myself. I guess I just wanted someone with experience to give me a second opinion, to tell me I'm not making something out of nothing. Heck maybe I ended up in South Dakota to find her. My journey is now gonna head to Brookings, SD, a short drive from my home.
Thanks again for your input
Tracy McCormick

Re: Rookie needs HELP!!!

DonnaMilano — 2011-02-28 19:31:08Z

It seems like it would be too much of a coincidence for there to be 2 Bernices with parents named Henry and Mabel, who also have a connection to the surname Oliver.

Believe it or not, there are MANY "errors" (some intentional, some not!) on records. People's ages often varied by several years (again, sometimes intentionally). Bernice may have told your mother's father that she was younger than she really was, which would account for the discrepancy on your mother's birth record.

Also, since Bernice was raised by her grandmother after her mother's death, she may have gotten confused regarding the maiden name.

There are two trees on Ancestry for Henry Cavin. You may want to contact them to see if they can further confirm the info for you. In my opinion, though, it seems like your Bernice is the daughter of Henry Cavin and Mabel Miller.

Re: Rookie needs HELP!!!

TracyMcMom — 2011-02-28 18:33:10Z

My mom was born 1956 in San Diego, CA
I have no idea what my Bernice's fathers name was, the only thing I know is her name.

As far as South Dakota being a possibility, well I guess anything is possible. Here is something kind of freaky. I was born and raised in San Diego, Ca 3 years ago we moved to...SIOUX FALLS, SD!

Her first married surname was King

On the death record for her son are the names:
James Hamilton King
Bernice E. Cavin

Thanks so much

Re: Rookie needs HELP!!!

DonnaMilano — 2011-02-28 16:53:37Z

Ages often vary on censuses so you can't always use those to rule out someone. You say Bernice E Cavin was 32 on your mother's birth certificate--what year was that? And where was your mother born? What is your Bernice's father's name?

Is South Dakota a possibly area for your family?

If Bernice was married prior to marrying your mother's father, the name she gave on your mother's birth record could be her first married name and not necessarily her maiden name. Do you know her first married surname? What names are on the death record of her son?

Rookie needs HELP!!!

TracyMcMom — 2011-02-28 16:19:24Z

Can someone tell me if they feel I am on the right path? The only info I had on my grandmother was a name and age on my mom's Birth certificate: Bernice E Cavin age 32. I knew Bernice had been married once before and had 2 previous children. 1 had died when he was 13. I pulled a marriage cert. and a death cert (son) and I am confused. Marriage cert says she was born in South Dakota, fathers name was Henry Cavin and mothers was Mabel Oliver. The only person who kind of matched was Bernice Cavin born 1919 in South Dakota to Henry W Cavin and Mabel Miller. Obviously the age doesn't match. after a little digging I realized Mabel's mothers name was Annie Oliver and she raised Bernice. Which could make sense on why Mabels maiden name was listed as Oliver instead of Miller. Back to my question. Am I totally reaching for the stars trying to link this Bernice to my Bernice or am I on the right path? If so how can I prove she is the one?
Any help would be much appreciated
