MARGARET CAVENDER (“Margrat Cavender”?) born in either Williamson County, Tennessee or Maury County, Tennessee about 1828, and in 1850 was then living in Lewis County, Tennessee. It is to be noted that Lewis County, Tennessee was formed from parts of the counties of Maury County, Tennessee, Hickman County, Tennessee, Wayne County, Tennessee, and Lawrence County, Tennessee in 1843. The particular section given to Lewis County, Tennessee by Maury County, Tennessee was returned to Maury County, Tennessee in 1852.;
SARAH CAVENDER ("Sally Cavender") born in either Williamson County, Tennessee or Maury County, Tennessee about 1830, and in 1850 was then living in Lewis County, Tennessee. It is to be noted that Lewis County, Tennessee was formed from parts of the counties of Maury County, Tennessee, Hickman County, Tennessee, Wayne County, Tennessee, and Lawrence County, Tennessee in 1843. The particular section given to Lewis County, Tennessee by Maury County, Tennessee was returned to Maury County, Tennessee in 1852.;
JOHN CALVIN CAVENDER (“J.C. Cavender”, “John C. Cavender” & “John Cavender”) born in Maury County, Tennessee on December 3, 1834. According to the 1850 census, it is believed that he was the listed 16 year named John Cavender who was then living in Maury County, Tennessee with the young family of Silas S. Cavender (“Silas Cavender” & “S.S. Cavender”) and his wife Permeila Cavender (“Pamelia Cavender”?, “Permellia Cavender” & “Pamela Cavender”?), but no children were listed for Silas Cavender. According to the 1860 census records, John Calvin Cavender was still living in Maury County, Tennessee in 1860 and also then living in his household was William Grimes age 25. Apparently, by the time John Calvin Cavender (“John Cavender”, “J.C. Cavender” & “John C. Cavender”) was 26 years of age he was considered quite wealthy as the 1860 census stated that he then owned land worth $6,600 and personal property worth $2,200 which was a significant amount of wealth in that day. In fact, he apparently paid cash for his property in Texas, which consisted of considerable acreage by 1878 in various locations with creeks running through them. At one time, one of the Cavender’s in Ellis County, Texas owned a cotton gin. John C. Cavender first married Elizabeth Adaline Ricketts (“Adaline Rickets”?, “Adeline Ruckers”?, “Elizabeth Ricketts” & “Adeline Ricketts”?) on January 5, 1854 in Maury County, Tennessee, later married Martha Ann Sanford (“Martha Sanford”, “Martha Samford” & “Martha Ann Samford”) on November 7, 1872 with Lewis W. Grimes (“Lewis Grimes”) performing the ceremony, and apparently still later married a Mary Crawford, died on August 2, 1902 in Ellis County, Texas one day after signing his Last Will and Testament and in which his name is consistently spelled “Cavendar”, and he is buried in the Sardis Cemetery in Ellis County, Texas. Martha Sanford was born in Maury County, Tennessee about 1850, died on September 1, 1895 in Ellis County, Texas, and is buried in the Sardis Cemetery in Ellis County, Texas where John Calvin Cavender was buried later. It is to be noted that in his Will, he bequeathed to his wife, M.H. Cavendar.
When the 1860 census was taken in the Maury County, Tennessee, a J.C. Cavender and was then listed as being 26 years of age and thus born about 1834. His wife at that time was listed as being E.A. Cavender, believed to be Elizabeth Adeline Cavender and formerly Elizabeth Adeline Ricketts (“Elizabeth Ricketts”, “Elizabeth Rickets”? & “Adaline Rickets”?) who was then also about 26 years of age and thus also born about 1834 in Maury County, Tennessee, and died in Maury County, Tennessee. The children of J.C. Cavender and E.A. Cavender were listed as: A.V. Cavender, a female, age and thus born about 1854; J.B. Cavender, a male, age 3 and born about 1857; and, J.G. Cavender, a female, age 8 months and born about 1860. Also listed as living in the same household was a William Grimes age 25 and thus born about 1835. It is believed that Adeline Rickets Cavender died in Maury County, Tennessee, as there is no mention of her in the Texas records.
John Calvin Cavender enlisted in the Confederate Army on November 30, 1861 in Company E of the 9th Battalion of the Tennessee Calvary, CSA, commanded by a Gaant. He was captured on May 23, 1864 at Resaca, Georgia and was held a prisoner of war in Rock Island, Illinois where he took an oath of allegiance to the Union on July 25, 1864 before the final Confererate surrender and, consquently, he was officially classified as a deserter.
John Calvin Cavender and his second wife Martha Sanford Cavender (“Martha Cavender”) had either 5 or 6 children. A Rev. Lewis Grimes performed their marriage ceremony and in 1880 a William Grimes was then living in the household of John Calvin Cavender and Martha Cavender. John Calvin Cavender still later married Mary Helen Crawford (“Mary Crawford”) in Ellis County, Texas on July 26, 1896 and they had no children. This may be the same J.C. Cavender who may have earlier married M.D. Templeton about 1879 in Texas. Mary Crawford was born in Maury County, Tennessee and for the previous 29 years prior to the date of her pension application, she had been living in Ellis County, Texas. On August 4, 1926, while living in Parker County, Texas, his third wife, Mary Helen Cavender (“Mary Cavender” & “M.H. Cavender”), applied for a Civil War Widow’s pension and stated that they had lived in Parker County, Texas for the past 29 years. which was denied because he had previously taken the oath of allegiance before the final Confederate surrender.
In the 1880 census, John Calvin Cavender was then living in Ellis County, Texas, and he died on August 2, 1902 in Ellis County, Texas.
John Calvin Cavender and his first wife, Elizabeth Ricketts Cavender (“Elizabeth Cavender”), had 7 children:
JAMES FRANCIS CAVENDER (“James Cavender", “J.F. Cavender”, “James F. Cavender”, “Buck Cavender”) a son who was age 3 when the 1860 census was taken, and thus was born about 1857 in Maury County, Tennessee. James Francis Cavender first married S.E. Davis on September 5, 1872 in Maury County, Tennessee with James T. Hewert (“James Hewert”) performing the ceremonty, and apparently she died early as no children are known. James Francis Cavender later married Ittle Raines (“Itle Raines”? & “Ethel Ryan”?) in Ellis County, Texas on either December 15, 1879 or on December 16, 1879, died on January 3, 1900 at the age of 39, and is buried in the Midlothian Cemetery in Ellis County, Texas. Apparently, there is no tombstone for James Francis Cavender. However, it is to be noted that in the 1900 census for Ellis County, Texas, James F. Cavender (“James Cavender”) is listed as being born in Tennessee in 1857 and probably is the same person as the above James Francis Cavender (“James Cavender”). Ittle Raines was born about 1861, her family also migrated from Maury County, Tennessee to Ellis County, Texas, she died on January 3, 1900 at the age of 39 years, and is buried in either the Midlothian Cemetery or the Sardis Cemetery in Ellis County, Texas.

Cavender”, “Molly Cavender”, “Dollie Cavender” & “Mollie Cavender”) who was born on January 6, 1861 in Maury County, Tennessee never married and apparently never learned how to either read or write, probably because of a mental disability. In 1880, she was living in the household of a Curry family, as was her older brother named Buck Cavender who was also unmarried at that particular time and whose real name was James Francis Cavender (“James Cavender”). In 1900, she was living in the household of John William Cavender (“John Cavender”, “J.W. Cavender” & “John W.

There is some confusion as to John William Cavender’s real forename. He was christened John William (at least) but was known as Steve Cavender.
