Thomasson Charles Cavanah (Son) m. 1813 Lucy E. Owen Joseph Cavanah (Son ? ) William Cavanah (Son) M.1821 Rachel Herrin Aquilla Cavanah (Son)married 1832 Elizabeth Stevens Sarah Cavanah (Daughter)married 1833 Adam C.Poole Lucinda Cavanah (Daughter)married1834 William Harrin John Cavanah (Son)1834 Peggy Laird Martha Cavanah (Daughter)m.1817 John Lisman Nancy Cavanah (Daughter)m.1826 Ezard Hancock It looks like your Martha is a grandaughter of this David and Francis. There are Heirs listed that may have been heirs of Joseph Cavanah who was a son of David and Francis Cavanah and I think this is where you come in. I have the marriage of Francis J. Cavanah to William Clark marrried July 25, 1849 or it may be 1841. Francis J. Cavanah was not a child of David and Francis Cavanah. I have the inventory of David Cavanah estate and it is dated 1823. so I don't think He could have been the father of you Martha. I hope that this helps and I will be glad to share if you need more. I been gong through some very old research that was done in 1923. Nancy
