He was born in Prince Edward County Virginia, in 1788, and during his early manhood enlisted as a soldier in the War of 1812. Soon after the close of that struggle he went to Tennessee where married Miss Judah Mann, who was also a native of the Old Dominion, born in 1790. The young couple began their domestic life in Tennessee where they remained until 1834, in which year they made a location in McDonough County Illinois. Two years later however, they crossed the Father of Waters and in the Territory of Wisconsin, as it was then known, began making a home, their place of location being in Harrisburg Township, Van Buren County. The Indians had not then left for their homes further west, but were frequent visitors in the settlement and rattlesnakes were often unwelcome companions. The country round about abounded in wild game, wolves and other animals were killed in the vicinity of the settlement and hardships of which we know nothing were to be borne. Eight children wee born unto Mr. and Mrs. Cavin ... Mr. Cavin was one of the sturdy pioneers of this region and will be remembered by many of the early settlers. He developed a farm and made for himself a comfortable home but nine years after his arrival in the community he was called to the home above. His wife survived him until 1861. Both were members of the Baptist Church and earnest workers in the Master's vineyard." (Information provided by FAG member #49004361 Windchimes)
