    3. My Aunts husband always told us his parents were from Canada and his grandfather had been born on Prince Edward Island then they had come to Ontario to Wisconsin. We never doubted this and when my cousin asked me to help her look into her family history we find the grandfather was born in Prince Edward County, Ontario. The grandmother in Ohio. So the story had not strayed too much but the facts were a little mixed up. One of my favorite stories of Assuming things is that of a distant cousin in the 1930s who was researching the CAVE families of the Shenandoah Valley. He did lots of good work but he has my gggreat grandfather Benjamin running three families in three different states at the same time. A very BUSY farmer was he. Of course I could follow the census and see that these are three different Benjamin CAVE who are cousins, each with their own wife and family. I am not saying this didnt happen back then, as it did in some of my Mormon cousins families, some even served jail time for it, but not my little mountain man Grandpa CAVE.
