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. Note (2) Birthplace given as Doddridge County in 1901 marriage record, but as Harrison County in 1907 marriage record. Birth record shows it as Katy Lick, Harrison County.Name Index
