Hello, Tom and all you other Spelunkers! Richard Cave and wife Elizabeth Craig are my ancestors. I can get their children for you but info is not at hand at the moment. Richard was a son of Benjamin Cave Sr and Hannah Bledsoe of Spotsylvania/Orange County. Elizabeth was a daughter of Toliver Craig Sr and Polly Hawkins Craig. Elizabeth's brothers were the "Preaching Craigs". Richard's brother was the William Sr who married Mary Mallory. William went to Boone county and was a founder of Bullitsburg Baptist Church and Richard was connected with Clear Creek Baptist Church in Woodford County. Both families went to Ky with the Traveling Church in 1781 and were at Bryan(t)'s Station in 1782. I would really like to know where Richard and Elizabeth were buried. Mary was buried in the hilltop cemetery at Gilbert's Creek 1782 and William probably lies in Boone County, but I do not have the exact location. Much is related in John Taylor's "History of Ten Churches" which can be bought in hardback reprint. I am from both William and Richard. Regards, Ed Troutman PS: John Taylor's wife was a granddaughter of Bejamin Cave Sr. Amazon has the reprint for 39.95.
