The Cavenaugh Family of Eastern North Carolina, 1790-1930: Wills and Estates Records
The Cavenaugh Family of Eastern North Carolina, 1790-1930
Wills and estates records can provide important clues in determining a person's children and relatives, although caution should be used if a relationship is not explicitly stated. So far I have found seven wills or estates records for Cavenaughs, and these are available from the menu to the left. I have tried to include scans of the most important or interesting documents. Since I had to reduce the file size, some of the images are not the best quality, and if you would like a better copy, e-mail me. Also, some of the documents are just a little bit bigger than my scanner, so some edges are cut off, although I try to make sure it's nothing terribly important.

(Currently estates records are only available for Silvester, James Sr., Obed Eden, Margaret Chasten, William M., and John Thomas Cavenaugh. James Cavenaugh, Jr.'s will and estate records will be soon. I will also include scans of some of Margaret Chasten Cavenaugh's documents in the near future.)
