    • Mary Cave's Mother:

      Elizabeth ANDREWS
      Birth Feb 1642 in Panborough, Somerset, England
      Death 1671 in Stafford County, Virginia, USA

      Mary Cave's Father:

      John CAVE Sr

      Birth 6 Feb 1644 in Misterton, Leicestershire, England
      Death 8 Apr 1721 in Stafford County, Virginia, USA

      John Cave was born 1644 in England, the son of Samuel Cave and Rachel Kellogg.

      He was an importer of fine wines. He owned land in Stafford County.

      He married 1st Elizabeth Andrews, daughter of George Andrews and had issue: Mary, John, William and David.

      He married 2nd Elizabeth Travers, no children from this union.

      John Cave and his son-in-law John Echols, sponsored settlers to come to Virginia by paying their transportation for which they received headrights for fifty acres.

      [A headright is a legal grant of land to settlers. Headrights are most notable for their role in the expansion of the thirteen British colonies in North America; the Virginia Company of London gave headrights to settlers, and the Plymouth Company followed suit. The headright system was used in several colonies, including Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Most headrights were for 1 to 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of land, and were given to anyone willing to cross the Atlantic Ocean and help populate the colonies. Headrights were granted to anyone who would pay for the transportation costs of a laborer or indentured servant. These land grants consisted of 50 acres (200,000 m2) for someone newly moving to the area and 100 acres (0.40 km2) for people previously living in the area. By giving the land to the landowning masters the indentured servants had little or no chance to procure their own land. This kept many colonials poor and led to strife between the poor servants and wealthy landowners.]

    • September 2nd, 2016:

      Comments (John Cave b. 6 Feb 1644 Misterton, Leicestershire, England d. 8 Apr 1721 Stafford County, Virginia, British Colonies in America): John Cave I believe is my 7th Great Grand farther and am trying to find the truth as to a few question's.

      1.Was John married twice ?

      Does John's family consist of any of the following. Benjamin Cave Sr. 1703, Benjamin Cave Jr. 1735, William & Mary Cave 1777 and John Smith Cave 1801 (?)

      It seems there is a lot of mislead information on this. Can you shed some truth light in this matter.

      I would like to finish my family history while my health is still fairley good.

      Thanks in advance on any information you can send me.
