I believe this J. W. Cauthen is John William Cauthen, son of John Cauthen and Elizabeth Wilson. John William Cauthen was born on March 17, 1848 and died on April 26, 1904. He served in the Confederate Army and at the age of 41 on Jan. 16, 1890 in Pike Co., he married 19 year old Kate Martin. She was born on Jan. 12, 1871 and died on July 12, 1962. Both are buried at the Milner Cemetery. Their three children were: Doll Coleman Cauthen m. Horace Lyle Chappell. Mary Willie Cauthen m. S. J. Childers. John Callaway Cauthen m. Lucy Lee.
