Hi LD,
It has been a long time since I have worked on
these folks. Thanks for the URL. I checked over some of it, and
did not find anything that leads me to believe that my husband is
NOT a desc. of William Cavender and Lucretia Pierce.
Nothing stated that Lucretia was connected to
Reuben Pierce. I don't know who Lucretia's parents were, but
earlier information from you and Daniel Pierce <> speculated that
she might be the daughter of Reuben.
Lucretia may NOT be the daughter of Reuben, but I
did not see in the information anything that says that William
Cavender and Lucretia Pierce are not the parents of Rebecca Cavender
who married Henry P. Cochran (previously known as Cockerham). This
is my husband's line.
Please let me know if you found information that precludes this Lucretia Pierce from being the wife of William Cavender. My source for this information is HALL COUNTY MARRIAGES (through 1850) https://sites.rootsweb.com/~gahall/marrearl.txt ( April 6, 2000)
My mother-in-law, Valla Garrett Jones,
although born in Madison Co, GA. was conceived in Suches, Union
Co. GA. Her parents and older siblings traveled in a wagon from
there to Madison Co. GA in 1912, while Molly was pregnant with
Vella (b. May 1912).
All of the following attachments are given in
family information gathered and distributed at reunions attended by
my husband's mother's family (Cochran/Garrett/Seabolt). My
mother-in-law told me that much of it came from family Bibles.
However, I do not have a copy of these old Bible records to validate
the information.
My info is sorta backward from others. Married
names for females are in ( ).

I have that you are descended from Fannie Cavender ( who I have as a sister to William above) and John Abercrombie. I don''t have any further information. Is that still valid information. If so, that make you and my husband cousins.
Good to hear from you. Since I have been on Ancestry, I have not gone into records and worked to reverify any of this line. I have been working on all my Edgefield Co, SC lines of my mother. All of her 4-g and the 5-g grandparents were there before 1790, All 5-g's that I have died there.
Congratulations on the continued work you have done to prove connections.
