CAVE, LOWRY -
John Cave, son of Samuel Cave and Elizabeth Lowry, was born about 1794 in Fauquier County, VA. Census records show him in Stafford County, VA, by 1830. His siblings, James, Nancy, and Lowry Cave, were all married in Fauquier County, VA, but I find no marriage record for John. His wife was named Fanny, but her surname is unknown. I am looking for any record of their marriage, but I'm not sure which county in VA it might have taken place. I have checked the neighboring counties, but to no avail. If any of these names figure in your research, or if you can give me any additional information, please contact me.

WILSON -
My great grandmother's first husband died in the fall of 1903 during a typhoid epidemic. I am searching for county information if anyone would know at what area of the state was experiencing an epidemic at this time. Her husband's name was Charles Wilson, she also lost a young daughter, Etta, to the fever also. I've been told that the family had two young gentlemen boarding with them at the time. Grandma Ruth couldn't get anyone to help her so she and these 2 young men buried her husband and daughter. I don't know if they would have been able to bury them on the property they lived on or would have been a cemetery. Afterwards, Ruth who was pregnant with her fourth child, went back to the family home in Cades Cove, Blount County, Tennessee. Searching for any information that might lead us to the death date and possible burial place, if not cemetery, at the the town. Thanks for any and all help
