A Braxton seems to be missing from your list ,the will if correct pae 378 the first item mentions I give and devise to the children of Benjamin S Caviness by his first wife,Braxton M Caviness and Isaac F Caviness Sr.Item two I give and beqethe to the children of Alfred Caviness Viz.Isaac F Caviness ,Wm J Caviness ,A.W.Caviness and Delila Ann Parks wife of Thomas Parks one fourth.(This looks to me as if Alfred another son is dead and his share is being left to his children,yet Alfred Caviness is an executor of her estate?)item three I give and devise to the children of J.R Caviness Viz:Alfred H Caviness,Eliza Caviness,Mary Caviness,John Caviness and Robert E Caviness one fourth of my estate,(again looks as if J.R. is dead and his children are getting his share ,note another Alfred.)item fourth I give and devise to the children of stephen M Carter and Mary M Carter his wife and daughter of Benjamin S Caviness deceased,viz James S,Eliza C,George ,Wm and stephen and Mary,Carter and unnamed child to be named (Mary must have been pregnant) .Not sure almost looks like this identifies the children living at least those inheriting as Alfred, Isaac,Braxton,John Robert (J.R)and Mary carter .
I am not sure where Allred comes from,there were many Allreds in the area,it might pay to research their sites,I believe that Susannah Comers family have done a good bit of research,on this also.The Comers also were quite well known in this area,interesting the name Alfred also passed on in my family ,who also ended up in Iowa.There is no doubt that this is Susannah the daughter of Sarah and ?William
