| I hope you find some useful information on my genealogy home page. I am still researching and will probably never completely finish the history of my family surnames. The CAUTHEN name has been researched down to the 1970's and published by Mrs. Maryline Cauthen Westenhaver. Very few, if any, volumns of "The CAUTHEN Family History" remain available today. The CAUTHEN's have been traced and documented in England, in the strangely beautiful moors of Yorkshire, in the early 1600's. My direct line of CAUTHEN's settled in Alabama and Georgia after the Revolutionary War. Three CAUTHEN brothers were Patriots of the Revolution. James, Thomas, & William, great grandsons of Richard CAWTHORNE III, who imigrated from England to Virginia about 1674. I am a direct descendant of William CAUTHEN. The other surnames I am currently researching are my maternal line. They include MELTON, ARNOLD, COOLEY and FARMER. Most all of these lines came from North Carolina and migrated to West Tennessee and beyond. Zachariah Melton, the progenitor of my line, is listed in the DAR Patriot index as a patriot of North Carolina. I live in West Tennessee in the County of Benton, which is on the west side of the Tennessee River. Most of my ancestors were already here when the county was established in 1836. Therefore, I am privilaged to have been accepted as a member of the First Families of Benton County, TN sponsored by the Benton County Genealogical Society. I am also researching my husband's line which includes the surnames of GRIFFITH, PAINTER, MOORE and several other connecting lines. The PAINTER ancestor is from my husband's maternal side and The DAR Patriot Index list Adam PAINTER as a Pvt. in the Revolutionary War from the state of Virginia. Most of the families of the above surnames traveled together and eventually ended up in the North West part of Missouri. I welcome any and all additional information on these lines, and I will be more than happy to share any information I have. |
