Surnames: Cavender Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fd.2ADI/519 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on my grandfather, Reid Cavender. He was born June 16, 1896 in North Carolina and died November, 1977 in South Carolina. I know that his mother's name was Emma and he married Hattie Mae Harkins. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Starting with Reid have you ordered his death certificate, Social Security Card? Do you know when and where they got married--if so order the wedding certificate. Anyone of those document will provide you a bounty of information including the maiden name of the mother. It is a great start to many directions. > I am looking for any information on my grandfather, Reid Cavender. He was born June 16, 1896 in North Carolina and died November, 1977 in South Carolina.
