Marriage

I would like to quote some of the 1951 work of Colonel Charlie McCall, (decd.) of Fairfax, VA who was married to one of the granddaughters of Benjamin CAVE and Nancy Gallihue. As you will see some of the information has been proven since his research was made and I will note corrections as follows: sea

"Now Benjamin of Hawksbill, had eleven children ( I think) by Nancy. All of these children were born at the old place on the Hawksbill and probably during the period of 1800 - 1824. These children were (not in order of age or birth years) 1. Harriet, 2. Catherine, 3. Paschal Wellington, 4. John Anderson, 5. Benjamin F[ranklin], 6. Joseph H., 7. William Arrell, 8 George B., 9. Edmund or Edmond. 10. Eliza or Elizabeth and 11. Sarah Ann. It is said that Catherine was the twin sister of Paschal and died in infancy." we have disproved the child Eliza or Elizabeth. She belongs to the brother Reuben CAVE. We have copy of the marriage consent signed by her father. There could be some confusion as John CAVE signed as a bondsman sea
