Joshua Flanagan was the surety and make oath that Elizabeth Cavender was of legal age. If she was married when she was 18 years of age, then she would have been born about 1776. She may also have later married Thomas Gregory in Westmoreland County, Virginia on January 10, 1807; NANCY CAVENDER born February 2, 1758, married William Sutton Hutchings ("William Hutchings", "William Hutchin" & “William Hutchinson”?) on either April 22, 1791 or April 22, 1781433 & 494 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and died on September 27, 1831 in Butler County, Ohio. Both Thomas Cavender and John Hutchings gave their consents, and James Sorrell was the Surety.

(V) RICHARD CAVENDER?; (VI) BENJAMIN CAVENDER: and, (VII) JOHN CAVENDER,SR. (also F. John Cavender"374 & “F.J. Cavender”) born either about 1744508 in Norfolk, Virginia or about 1852 40, 133 & 294 in Princess Ann County, Virginia, or about married Elizabeth Franks (formerly “Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas") on October 24, 1768 in Northumberland County, Virginia and their marriage license was issued the previous day in Norfolk County, Virginia 494, and he died after 1788 in Norfolk County, Virginia. Elizabeth Franks was born about 1748 in Princess Anne County, Virginia and was the daughter of Robert Franks and apparently first married a Thomas, and thus Elizabeth Thomas. Robert Franks wrote the following note to Samuel Bush, the Clerk of Norfolk County, Virginia dated October 23, 1768: "Be pleased to let the barer (sic) John Cavender have marriage licenses for him and my daughter, Elizabeth Franks from your humble servant, Robert Franks". The document was witnessed by John Cordon, Henry Crosby and Andrew Wilson. In 1799, the family was living in Princess Anne County, Virginia (which now in the independent City/County of Virginia Beach, Virginia) and consisted of 6 people and 1 slave. This probably is the same John Cavender shown as serving in the Virginia Militia under Captain Samuel Beeler (“Samuel Peeler”?), particularly during the so-called “Dunmore War” of 1774 and particularly the Militia of the Southwest Virginia under the command of General Andrew Lewis and when Fort Pitt was renamed Fort Dunmore in 1774 as a result of the principal expedition against the Indians in which 1100 men led by Andrew Lewis moved west along the valley of the Kanawha River. At Ft. Pleasant, now West Virginia, General Andrew Lewis encountered about 1,000 Indians lead by Chief Cornstalk. Although the whites lost more men, Lord Dunmore was able to negotiate a treaty in which the Indians ceded a large tract of land on the Ohio River which opened the Ohio River route to Kentucky. According to the affidavit of John Ellison for a Revolutionary War claim, Shawnee Indian armies led by British officers invaded the Greenbrier region three times during 1777 and 1782, that in 1778 the Indians burned Ft. Farley on New River and attacked Ft. Donally in the levels of the Greenbrier to avenge the death of their Chief Cornstalk who was previously killed, and that the families of McKenney, John Day, and Cavender were killed.9, 30, 133, 160, 281, 292, 294, 350, 371, 374 & 433 This may also be the same John Cavender who later married Elizabeth Gill on June 4, 1792 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and some say this particular John Cavender was the grandson of a Squire Cavender who died in Ireland at the outbreak of the War of 1812.355 In 1799, a John Cavender, Sr. and a John Cavender, Jr., were living in Summer County, Tennessee. In any event, this particular John Cavender and Elizabeth Cavender had a son also named: JOHN CAVENDER who was born about 1770 in Norfolk County, Virginia, at the age of 24 married Sarah Elizabeth Casdorph ("Sarah Casdorph", “Sarah E. Casdorph”, “Sara Elizabeth Casdorph”? & “Sara Casdorph”?) on May 20, 1794 in an Amish Church in Kanawha Two Mile, Kanawha County, West Virginia, and died on September 14, 1830 in Guthrie, Kanawha County, West Virginia. The marriage ceremony of John Cavender and Sarah Casdorph was performed by Rev. John Alderson and apparently was conducted following return of John Cavender from a trip in April of the previous year to Charleston, West Virginia to fight Indians and to help build Fort Lee along the Kanawha River, and which was finished in May of 1788. 133, 144 & 294 Sarah Casdorph was also 24 years of age when she married, and thus born about 1770 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and was the daughter of Jacob Casdorph (“Jacob Karsdorp”) and Sophy Bore ("Sopie Boke"?, “Sophy Bore” & “Sopie Bore”?). Jacob Casdorph was born about 1738 in Philadelphis, Pennsylvania, was the son of Jacob Karsdorp born on August 15, 1688 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and who died about 1827 in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Jacob Karsdorp was the son of Herman Karsdorp who was born about 1660 in Dortrecht, The Netherlands, and he died about 1827 in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Herman Karsdorp was the son of Jan Kasdorp who was born about 1625 in Hamburg, Germany. John Alderson apparently established the Baptist church in Linville Creek, Rockingham County, Virginia on August 6, 1756 and, in 1757 the Shawnee Indians invaded and the people moved 40-50 miles below Blue Ridge. In 1763, the Indians struck again and, in 1777 John Alderson, Jr. moved to New River, Greenbrier County, Virginia, now Greenbrier County, West Virginia. In January 1788, at the direction of the Governor of the Richmond Assembly, Colonel George Clendenin and his brother, Capt. William Clendenin, formed a company of Rangers to establish a means of defense of the frontier against the Indians, and which would be stationed at a location that would best serve that purpose. Clendenin decided that the best place to establish a strategic location was at the mouth of the Elk River on the Kanawha River in Western Virginia where, incidentially, he owned the land. In April 1788, the small army of 7 officers and 26 privates left Lewisburg in Greenbrier County carrying their supplies on 10 pack horses. On April 5, 1788, they arrived at the mouth of the Elk after a 5 day journey through the wilderness and made camp to study the situation. Signs of Indians were in the locality. John Cavender was one of the privates in the company of the Clendenin Rangers organized to defend the region known as "Greenbrier". In May of 1788, they had finished building Fort Lee along the Kanawha River at a point which is 125 feet above the junction of Brooks and Kanawha Streets which later became Charleston, West Virginia. John Cavender was called into service again by Henry Knox, Secretary of War. This time, he served under Capt. John Morris at Fort Morris from May 1, 1791 to September 30, 1791. He was a taxpayer in Kanawha County, West Virginia in 1792. John Cavender was a blacksmith and boat builder by trade and, on September 14, 1830, he died in Guthrie, West Virginia which was also known as “Western Virginia”, and his son, Charles Cavender, was the administrator of his estate. The estate was appraised by Andrew Woodward, Soloman Casdorph and Reuben Stanley. John Cavender and Sarah Cavender raised their family at Guthrie, West Virginia where both are buried. Also mentioned in his will was his wife Sarah Cavender (also "Sally Cavender") who was born in 1765. The Last Will and Testament John Cavender was executed on September 14, 1830 and in which he named his son, Charles Cavender, as the administrator. Mentioned in his Will was his wife Sarah Cavender ("Sally Cavender"), Minerva Cavender, Charles Cavender (who married Elizabeth Jarrett), and Andrew Cavender (“Andrew Allen Cavender” & “A.A. Cavender”) who married Nancy Caldwell.119, 121, (pg 105, Kanawha Will Book #1), 135, 140, 141 & 494 (See also article “City Man Writes Fort Lee History’, appearing in the Charleston Daily Mail on Monday, April 5, 1982.) John Cavender and Sarah Cavender had the following 7 children: (i) JOHN CAVENDER, III. born about 1795 in Kanawha County, West Virginia, married a Sally or Sarah, and died about 1812; (ii) SALLY CAVENDER (“Sarah Cavender”?) born about 1798; (iii) ANDREW ALLEN CAVENDER ("Andrew Cavender", “Andrew A. Cavender”, & “A.A. Cavender”) born either about 1793459 or 1798494 & 508 in Guthrie, Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia), married Nancy Elizabeth Caldwell (“Nancy Caldwell”, “Nancy Colwell” “Nancy Coldwell”, “Elizabeth Coldwell” & "Elizabeth Colwell"?)459 & 494 on July 9, 1818 in Galopolis, Gallia County, Ohio with Arnold Richardson, J.P., performing the ceremony. According to the 1860 census for Kanawha County, West Virginia, she was born about 1788-1799 in Virginia. Allen Cavender died about 1859 in Kanawha Two Mile, Kanawha County, West Virginia, and is buried in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Nancy Caldwell was born about 1798 in Ohio, and was the daughter of William Caldwell (“William Coldwell”?). In 1820 and in 1850, the Andrew Cavender family was living in Kanawha County, Virginia (which later became Kanawha County, West Virginia) and finally settled on Kanawha Two Mile and Coopers Creek, West Virginia. When her husband died, apparently she living as the head of the household with Morrison Cavender age 15 years. It is said that Allen Cavender changed his name from Andrew M. Cavender to Andrew Allen Cavender. Andrew Cavender and Nancy Cavender had at least 10, and possibly 12, children: NANCY CAVENDER ??; REBECCA CAVENDER ??; MINERVA CAVENDER born about 1817 in Meigs County, Ohio459; JOHN WILLINGTON CAVENDER ("John Wellington Cavender"?, "John William Cavender'?, "John Will Cavender", "John W.

In fact, some say he was born in Meigs County, Ohio which supposedly is supported by the 1850 census for Kanawha County, West Virginia.459 Also, according to the 1870 census of Kanawha County two Mile, Kanawha County, West Virginia, he was age 50 by August 1, 1897.
