NARA RG29 M432 Roll 411 p. 221b, line 23, dwelling/family 348. J E Cavens 31 Farmer real estate $500 b. KENTUCKY — Ancestry's suggested records resolve him to 'James Edwards Cavins' Mary Cavens 22 Thomas 6 · John 4 · Robert 3 · Benjn 1 ⭐⭐ THE MIGRATION DATUM — ALREADY IN MISSOURI BY 1850, and their eldest was born there, so the family left Kentucky BY 1844. His own birthplace is still KENTUCKY, matching the tree. ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE, four of four: Thomas 6 = [279] Thomas William b. 1844 · John 4 = [906] John Edwards b. 1845 · Robert 3 = [907] Robert James b. 1847 · Benjn 1 = [908] Benjamin Eddins b. 1848. ⚠️ MARY IS ENUMERATED 22 HERE (b. c.1828), against the tree's 1818 — but the 1860 census gives her 42, b. 1818, confirming the tree. THE 1850 AGE IS THE ERROR. Recorded, not acted on. ⭐ LEAD: the suggested records include 'Randolph County, Missouri, Marriage Index, 1829-1859 — James E. Cavens'. Their marriage record is findable.

VIRGINIA Thomas W 16 · John C 15 · Robert J 13 · Benjamin E 11 · Sarah E 7 · Margaret J 5 ⭐⭐ IT ANSWERS THE DEATH QUESTION: **MARY IS THE HEAD AND NO HUSBAND IS ENUMERATED**, independently confirming the tree's death year of 1860 for [888] James Edwards Cavins. ⭐ AND IT CONFIRMS HER: 42, b. c.1818, born VIRGINIA — matching [889] Mary Frances Mansfield b. 1818, Orange Co., Virginia, exactly, and resolving the 1850 enumeration of '22' as the error. ⚠️ [910] SARAH ELIZABETH IS ENUMERATED AGED 7 (b. c.1853), against the tree's 1858 — and she is listed OLDER than [909] Margaret Jane (5, b. c.1855), reversing the tree's order. No two-year-old exists in the household. NOT CHANGED; recorded. ⚠️ [911] Pleasant Madison b. 1850 is absent from both censuses. ⭐⭐ NEW AND UNWORKED: her Find A Grave suggested record reads **'Mary Frances CORNELIUS'** — she remarried after 1860. Not entered. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: she appears in the 1850 and 1860 SLAVE SCHEDULES as 'M Cavens' and 'Mary Cavans'.
