It was with Nathan's first wife that William resided after the death of Harriet. Her name was Sarah Augusta Powers. For some reason, unknown to us, Sarah remained with the children and her father-in-law in Burnet, TX but Nathan is not with her. I found a marriage certification for Nathan and my great-grandmother, Mary (Molly)Callison in Burnet where my grandfather was also born, Ollie(Olly) Alexander Cavin. This all occurred before the death of Sarah so we assume there was a divorce (I hope). Molly was 26 years younger than Nathan and appears to be only 12 years old at the time of the marriage, 14 years old when she gave birth to my grandfather. Between 1880 and 1890 we lose Molly Cavin and we find that Nathan is living in Rodeo, NM with Ollie. Nathan is buried in a family plot alongside Byron H. Cavin (assumed to be his son) and Ida Callison Cavin sister to Molly. After the deaths of Molly and Nathan, Olly moved up to Douglas AZ but returns to Rodeo where he married his first wife Beatrix who died when their daughter Tacoma was a small child. He then moves Tacoma up to Scottsdale AZ with family. There he married Mary Ellen McGowan, my grandmother. They moved to Riverside CA after WWII and are both buried there. If you want the list of family names and dates in this line of Cavin please send me a note and I will forward what I have.
