Event Notes
Note (1) Age one month at time of Aug 1 1850 enumeration.  Name entered as Cilas
Caveller.  Birth date given in death record as May 22 1851, and in the 1900
Census as May 1852, both clearly impossible.  Birthplace given in marriage
record as Harrison County, which is unlikely given the family's residence in
Wetzel County at that time.  Father identified in death record as Silas
Cavalier, which is questionable.
