I have four surnames in Louisville pre civil war, Cavaline, Goobrad, Frank and Fuller, they are all related to one another either by blood or marriage. This is a complicated family, I will have to admit. The matriarch of the family is Margaret nee Cavaline. Her parents and her husbands first names are not known. She first married a Mr. Goodbrad, when he died, she married a Mr. Frank. I havent found Margaret in any census prior to 1860. I have Cavaline which could be Caveline also. In the 1850 census, name transcribed as Caslin or something close. Two names after Nick Cavaline in the census is my John Goodbrad. Also John Goodbrad, who immigrated to the US from Germany early 1830s. His younger half brother was Thomas Jefferson Frank who supposedly was born in MD( I don’t have a town nor county) in about 1833/34. They didn’t stay in MD long because they were in Cincinnati until John Goodbrad was 14? which would be sometime in the early 1840s . According to John Goobrads own letters in 1890 the family moved to Louisville to be Margarets sister. I don’t have a first name. She supposedly married a Mr. Fuller, no first name who worked as a Carpenter. There is a Valentine Fuller listed in 1850 census, but Elizabeth is listed as his wife, I don’t believe she is a Cavaline. Too little to work with there. In 1855 the Cavaline brothers John and Nick are in Memphim, I find them in a Memphis city directory. Nick is married there in 1853. He then has 7 children. He dies in 1864 Memphis. I don’t find it was due to war service. Both men enlisted in the Civil War. I don’t know what becomes of John, his trail goes cold. Sue
