Hi Wally ~
I have considerable data on Wm. Albert's antecedents but
not on Caviness. There is a Caviness Cem. in Texas Co. MO.
which might be a place to start a search.

Hal, Thanks for answering my query about WAPewitt.

My records show that he married a Ada Elizabeth Caviness on or about 1906 in KC. Mo. Ada(addie) or Lizzie was my grandfathers younger sister. I have her b. 4 Sept. 1884 in salem, Mo. and d. June 1931 in KC, Mo. William I have born 23 Aug. 1881 where ????
I have tha Ada and William had the following children:
William Jr.
Dorothy
Juanita
Talmadge
Mildred
Katherine
Clyde
Julia
An interesting story is of Dorothy b. 1916 and her 3rd husband Bert. L. Roberts b. 31 Oct. 1913 who had a daughter named Patricia Ann Roberts b. 28 May 1935 in Grand Coulee Dam area. That is the same area I was born on 17 Sept. 1940 in the Coulee Dam Hospital in Coulee Dam, Wash.
I would appreciate it if you would send me what you have on Ada's Caviness Pewitt's lineage. Is there any ancestors of her's living in the Pacific Northwest?

Once again thanks for letting me know of Ada's Pewitt's lineage.

P.s I have pictures of the Caviness- Smith Cem. between Success and Linking, Mo. I was there a that Cem. and the one in Licking, the VAn Cleve Cem. where Ada's grandfather William Franklin Cavaness is buried. He owned a lot of land in that area and picked out the site for his own grave. His Greatgrandson Alfred Cavaness lives just outside of Licking. I have met him also.
PSS Where do you live?

Wally, afraid I can't help a great deal. Wm. Albert, Sr. was my
2nd cousin but don't know much about him. His dtr. Mildred
corresponded for a time and she was going to provide me with
all the info on the family but her husband got ill and they moved from Stockton in Cedar Co. to Bolivar in Polk Co. near
a better med facility. His name was Stuart Ridenour and he died there in 1993. Shortly afterward she moved to Springfield
where a dtr. lived but she was never cooperative after that in
spite of numerous times I wrote to her. Once while passing thru Springfield I attempted to visit her but arrived on a day
when she was out undergoing kidney dialysis. She died there
12 Feb. 2000. Clyde lived many years in Sacramento, CA. I live near there in Woodland, CA and talked to him once by phone but he was very non-committal. He died there in Feb.
1994 according to Soc. Sec. Death Records. My e-mail is
hpewit@hotmail.com. Contact me direct if you like. I would
be pleased to have names of Ada's Parents.
Sincerely
Hal

Hal, Glad to hear back from you. Too bad you couldn't get more info on the William Albert Pewitt. Maybe someone else will read this and join us in answering the info we need on this family. Who is Clyde???
The parents of Ada are as follows:
Thomas Matthew Cavaness b. 26 March 1854 in randolph Co..,NC died June 1, 1919, Buried in Cavaness Cem. between Success and Licking Cem. I have Thomas's lineage clear back to 1623. Andre Cabanis of LaSalle, Gard, France

Mary Elizabeth Carney, b. abt. 1860 in Nursey Hill, Dent. Co. Mo. Married 25 August 1874 in Salem, Dent. Co. Died after 1888. lst wife of Thomas Matthew. Father was John Carney, mother was Malinda Jane Shultz. John brother married Malinda's sister. The Shultz Family came from Germany.

What info do you have on the children of Ada and William? Do any of them live out here in the Western U.S.?
Keep in touch,
Wally

Sorry, Wally, haven't any more to tell about W. A's desc-
endents. Sure wish I did. Have a lot of blank fields there.
Clyde was one of his sons. Thanx for the added info on Ada's
parents. I'm very familiar with the Carney and Shults (they
spell it that way in Dent Co.) names. One of my aunts married
a Shults so I have a lot of Shults cousins there.

Clyde was the eldest son of Wm. A.

Thanx again
Hal
