Hi Dennis
I hope this can help you.Charles Cavena (1) is the first I have listed in the US In Edgecomb County of North Carolina and his will is recorded there listing his children but no name for his wife.There are several court documents of land dealings there listing his children, of their buying and selling land or of their witnessing documents.Mary , one of his daughters, was a land owner and is listed as a owner, witness on several land sales and has her will recorded in the same county.There are several siblings listed on this will.Aquilla (2) was his son and is listed with the malitia along with two brothers David & Neidham.He also had land left to him in his fathers will.I do not have much on him until He located in Chatham Co. North Carolina and he married Joyce Brasswell Wooten a widow, The name Brasswell appears in the court records of Edgecomb Co.,David (3) is listed in this county several times as a surveyer and road builder.His father in law is listed with him as part of the crew.I have not seen this personally but I heard from Harold Cavanah a retired Dr. froom Ky. who lives in Wy. and he went to Chatham Co. and said David sold his fathers (Aquilla) farm there and then he moved to KY. He then surveyed for that county and layed out roads for the county.
