Hello, Spelunkers! Forks of the Elkhorn has info about the Caves that went to Ky with the Traveling Church and their relatives that went with them. William Sr. and Richard, sons of Benj Sr of Orange County, Va., and others are mentioned on the monument at Bryant(s) Station. They stayed at Gilbert's Creek the winter of 1781-2 and then went on to Bryan(t)'s Station near Lexington and founded what is now South Elkhorn Christian Church (originally Baptist) and it's daughter churches. Richard then went to Clear Creek Baptist Church in Woodford County and William Sr and Jr went to Boone County and helped found Bullittsburg Baptist Church. Each of these churches has continuing congregations from the first days. This book complements John Taylor's History of Ten Churches. Regards, EGT of William Sr/Jr and Richard. ------------------ Reply Separator -------------------- Originally From: Travelback4u@aol.com Subject: [CAVE] re: Cave/s Book Date: 03/21/2002 06:42pm Hello I have been told, but have not seen this, that this book is a wonderful help to Cave/Caves Genealogists.

Jim, Thanks for sharing this information with us about Benjamin Cave, that Donna DeView shared with you. That is new information to me and I imagine with others. I had corresponded with Donna DeView in the 1970's but lost track of her when we moved in 1980. She had sent me lots of beginning information, and I was able to sort out some of it and make some corrections on my direct lines. But like you say, it is hard to change and make corrections once the information is out there. Col. McCall had my Benjamin married and running three families at the same time in three states. That would have been really hard (but not impossible) in the 1850's. I finally got them sorted out and the 3 Benjamins identified. The more we can share the good information should be gleaned for all of us with VA Cave families. Jane keeps finding interesting things to share, from all around the world. Wish I had more to share, but dont find all these goodies.

Some have chosen to believe that Montebello near Orange VA was the home of Benjamin Cave, the Burgess. I, Jim Cave, have visited there and the inscriptions in the gardens might lead one to think that. I am not convinced. What follows are comments by Ann Miller and Donna DeView that cast doubt. Ann Miller was/is a historian and consultant to the Orange County Historical Society and to the restoration of the James Madison home. She researched and authored a book on Orange County Virginia Antebellum homes. Donna DeView researched the Benjamin Cave family for many years. Ann Miller wrote: "The land which is now Montebello was primarily the old Benjamin Porter estate, purchased by Richard Cave after the death of Benjamin Porter, who was his father-in-law. The first deed in the series. is dated Feb 24, 1811, rec. Feb 24, 1812." Obviously too late for Benjamin the Burgess to be involved. Donna DeView wrote on May 26, 1981: "Richard Cave, son of Benjamin, Jr. did actually marry Maria Porter. I found him & large family in the census of 1850 living in Orange County. He is buried in the family graveyard at "Montebello" near Orange, VA. He had a son Wm. Porter Cave, a sea capt. who married Esabella Delacy in NY. They were all living at "Montebello" in the 1850 census. Their granddaughter, Delacy Thompson, became Mrs. Leslie Gray, and she restored "Montebello" in the twenties or early 1930s. I talked with her in 1936 about the graveyard. It was overgrown with ivy and the stones had fallen, so she put up a plaque outside the graveyard, and took some liberties a present day genealogist would frown on. She did not know that Benj. Cave (1703-1760) was buried there, but put their names on the plaque because he was head of her family (so far as she knew then). She had an earlier birth date for Benjamin, which later proved to be in error. Once carved in stone, ! an error is hard to change, it becomes fact."

PPS: Old Cave families in Virgina (and descendants not surnamed Cave) still have unexplored old records of plantation business. If we could somehow encourage them to let the records be archived and distributed, we might be able to make the connections between the 17- 18th century Caves.

Hello, Spelunkers: There are two Montebello plantations in Orange County, VA. This Montebello was founded by Benjamin Cave JUNIOR who was supposedly the first burial in the graveyard near the house. Benjamin JUNIOR was a son of Benjamin SENIOR and Hannah Bledsoe. Although the marker at the gate says "1728", this site is probably NOT the site of Benjamin SENIOR's land grant of 1728 "at the forks of the Rapid Ann". Montebello, as of 1981, was still in the hands of Benjamin Junior's descendants who had the original land grant papers for Benjamin Senior's land grant. As far as I know, the original land grant site "at the forks of the Rapid Ann" has not been located. If it has, I would certainly like to know. Regards, Ed Troutman, Fort Worth, TX (twice from Benj SR and Hannah Bledsoe). PS: For those you who are tall ship fans, scan on Panama and follow the thread to the description of the Clipper Ship "Panama". One of Benjamin's descendants left the care of Montebello to a brother and went off to become a Captain of the "Panama". He took his wife with him on sailing trips and each of their three daughters was born in a different foreign country (one in China). The "Panama was the fastest clipper between New York and San Francisco. About 110 days around the Horn. ------------------ Reply Separator -------------------- Originally From: "Jane H" <janewayne@earthlink.net> Subject: [CAVE] Orange Co., VA Date: 03/16/2002 09:04pm http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/VAGuide/tour03.html on US 15 is a junction with County 633....

www.carolinaarts.com/200galleryc.html Oils by Joseph Cave at Gallery C in Raleigh, NC Gallery C in Raleigh, NC, is pleased to present new images of the North Carolina landscape by Joseph Cave. Cave, who is increasingly being honored as one of the Southeast's finest living artists, will be exhibiting nineteen new oils on canvas through Mar. 28, 2000. Cave's masterful style uses a broad brushstroke and intense color to capture his surroundings whether they are outdoor scenes of the rural farmland or floral still lifes and interior scenes. There is very little distinction between subject and background. A turbulent, cloud filled sky might well compete with barns and tobacco fields for attention if not dominate a canvas entirely. The background around a floral arrangement is painted with the same dynamic energy as the flowers, sometimes making it hard to distinguish where one ends and the other begins. The artist sees the whole canvas and makes no efforts for us to see otherwise. Cave has been painting professionally for over forty years across this country and in Europe. He has paintings in many distinguished collections including that of The North Carolina Museum of Art, Duke University Medical Center, Glaxo Wellcome, Senator John Edwards, and Central Carolina Bank. Gallery C has represented Joseph Cave since 1991. ====================================== http://www.wellsgallery.com/josephcave/ Pictures of oil paintings ======================================

www.dartfordarchive.org.uk/medieval/politics_wt.shtml ABEL KER, ROBERT CAVE, AND THE ATTACK ON DARTFORD The revolt against Richard II’s poll tax started in Essex, not Dartford. On 31 May 1381, 5,000 peasants and fishermen from Stanford-le-Hope, Fobbing and Corringham, marched into Brentwood to confront the commissioner of taxes. The chief justice was despatched to maintain law and order. Six of his men were beheaded by the peasant army. Plunder and riot spread through Essex. Abel Ker, a resident of Erith was a leader of the Kentish peasants. He and his followers raided the monastery at Lesnes and frightened its abbot into swearing an oath to support him and his men. They then took a boat across the River Thames and persuaded some 100 men from Barking to re-cross the river with them. On 5 June 1381 the combined force raided Dartford. Though Abel Ker and his ever-increasing band of followers attacked Dartford they were not in sufficient strength to do much damage. A large number of men from Dartford came out and joined them as recruits. Robert CAVE, a Dartford baker took over the leadership from Abel Ker. At the Dartford house of Thomas Shardelow, the coroner of Kent, large quantities of official documents were seized by the rioters and ceremoniously burnt in the streets of the town. CAVE and his men then marched to Rochester where they plundered the castle, finally heading off to Maidstone for more plunder and murder. CAVE was later arrested and imprisoned for ten years. ===================================== Tingewick, Buckinghamshire, England http://website.lineone.net/~tingewick_history/twkg15.htm William Cave was born before 1795.

www.starbase21.com/kybiog/hardin/cave.jf.txt JEFFERSON F. CAVE, son of Abner and Ophelia (Cave) Cave, was born in Taylor County, Ky., March 18, 1834. Abner Cave as born in 1809, and was a son of Thomas Cave, who came from Orange County, Va., to Taylor County, Ky., about 1800; bought 600 acres of land, which he had cultivated by his nineteen slaves. He was married in Virginia, to a Miss Sims, who bore him six sons and five daughters. Abner Cave was the third born; learned wagon making, carpentering and stone-masonry, and in 1832, married Ophelia Cave, daughter of Abner and Elizabeth (Sims) Cave, of Hart County, Ky., and to this union nine children were born, of whom Jefferson F. is the eldest. Abner died in 1854, in Missouri, but his widow, who was born in June, 1815, is still living. Jefferson F. Cave, worked for his father until the latter's death, when he took charge of affairs and assisted in supporting his mother and his brothers and sisters. He returned from Missouri, whither he had gone with his father, and rented a farm in Hart Co., and February 11, 1858, he married Miss Nancy, daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Upton) Brackett, of Hardin County. Mr. Cave received from his father-in-law a farm of 200 acres, which tract he has increased to 600 acres, now valued at $9,000, and comprises three farms. Mrs. Nancy Cave died April 17, 1881, the mother of the following children: Mary (Cleaver), Nancy (deceased), Vetoria (Rider), William R. L, (a teacher), Florence, Luella, Laura C., Daniel B. and Sarah (deceased). February 27, 1882, Mr. Cave married Mrs. Mary J. (Mount) Evans, daughter of William and Catherine (Bland) Mount, of Hardin Co., an experienced school teacher, and the mother of one child by her former husband, Mrs. Jona Ashcraft, of Brandenburg. The mother of Jefferson F. Cave, after the loss of her husband, married Henry Lively, a veteran of 1812, now deceased, and for whose services she draws a pension of $96 per annum. Mr. and Mrs. Cave are members of the Baptist Church; he is also a Free Mason, and in politics is a Democrat.
