Hi, A lot of time has past since I posted last so I thought that I would take another shot. I am looking for any information about Richmond Cavender (Cavinder) born about 1805, married to Mary (Polly) Chissenhall, (Chisenhall) in 1825 at Posey County, IN. Moved to Pike County about 1830. Their children were: Martha Cavender (m: Watts) Hulda (m: Easley) James Henderson (admittedly born in Pike County) Greene Dianah (born Nashville, TN? M: Charles Clarke, my gg-grandfather) and a possible other eldest son as recorded on the 1840 census. I believe that they removed to Missouri (1840 census, Stoddard Co, MO). Richmond died between 1840 and 1847. Mary Cavender was on the 1847 Davis County, Iowa Tax List. All of the above children were born in IL except Dianah and I found an interview with Congressman, Henderson Cavender (Rep. Garnett, Kansas) which said that he was born in Pike County, IL, his father being Richmond Cavender and Mary Chisenhall. I am attempting to locate the parents of Richmond and would be grateful if anyone has information that isn't on the census or website. I have exhausted all resources that I am aware of. Thank you in advance, Have a great day! Lynn Clarke [email protected] Have a great day! Lynn Clarke
