Iran missile attacks target U.S. forces in Iraq; Trump says 'All is well!'

BAGHDAD: Iran launched a missile attack on U.S.-led forces in Iraq in the early hours of Wednesday in retaliation for the U.S. drone strike on an Iranian commander whose killing has raised fears of a wider war in the Middle East.
Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles from its territory against at least two Iraqi facilities hosting U.S.-led coalition personnel at about 1:30 a.m. (2230 GMT), the U.S. military said.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a tweet late on Tuesday that an assessment of casualties and damage from the strikes was under way and that he would make a statement on Wednesday morning.
“All is well!” Trump, who visited the al-Asad air base in December 2018, said in the Twitter post.
One source said early indications were of no U.S. casualties. Other U.S. officials declined to comment.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps confirmed they fired the missiles in retaliation for last week’s killing of Qassem Soleimani, according to a statement on state TV.
The force advised the United States to withdraw its troops from the region to prevent more deaths and warned U.S. allies including Israel not to allow attacks from their territories.
Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement that the bases targeted were al-Asad air base and another facility in Erbil, Iraq.
“As we evaluate the situation and our response, we will take all necessary measures to protect and defend U.S. personnel, partners, and allies in the region.”
Hours earlier on Tuesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said the United States should anticipate retaliation from Iran over Friday’s killing in Iraq of Soleimani, commander of the elite Quds Force.
“I think we should expect that they will retaliate in some way, shape or form,” he told a news briefing at the Pentagon, adding that such retaliation could be through Iran-backed proxy groups outside of Iran or “by their own hand.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran “took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter”, targeting the bases where the attack against its citizens and senior officials was launched.
“We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression,” he wrote in a post on Twitter.
If the U.S. military was indeed spared casualties, and Iran has completed its threatened retaliation for the U.S. drone strike on Soleimani, as Zarif suggested, there might be an opportunity for Washington and Tehran to seek an off-ramp to their increasingly violent confrontation.
Asian stock markets, which had been roiled by the attack, pared some of their losses after the tweets from Trump and Zarif. U.S. crude prices also retreated after surging almost 5% on worries any conflict could cut oil supplies.
‘WE WILL TAKE REVENGE’
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said it would ban U.S. carriers from operating in the airspace over Iraq, Iran, the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Singapore Airlines had already diverted all flight routes from Iranian airspace.
Democrats in the U.S. Congress and some of the party’s presidential contenders warned about the escalating conflict.
“Closely monitoring the situation following bombings targeting U.S. troops in Iraq,” U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Twitter. “We must ensure the safety of our service members, including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence. America & world cannot afford war.”
Soleimani, a pivotal figure in orchestrating Iran’s long-standing campaign to drive U.S. forces out of Iraq, was also responsible for building up Tehran’s network of proxy armies across the Middle East.
He was a national hero to many Iranians but viewed as a dangerous villain by Western governments opposed to Iran’s arc of influence running across the Levant and into the Gulf region.
A senior Iranian official said on Tuesday that Tehran was considering several scenarios to avenge Soleimani’s death. Other senior figures have said the Islamic Republic would match the scale of the killing when it responds, but that it would choose the time and place.
“We will take revenge, a hard and definitive revenge,” the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, General Hossein Salami, told throngs who crowded the streets for Soleimani’s funeral on Tuesday in Kerman, his hometown in southeastern Iran.
Soleimani’s burial went ahead after several hours of delay following a stampede that killed at least 56 people and injured more than 210, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.

Police officers describe Pulse scene as 'horiffic'
ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - For the first time since the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, five officers with the Orlando Police Department are sharing their stories from the night of the massacre.
Several of the officers actually risked their lives by going into the nightclub to pull people out as they were being fired upon by the gunman. Their supervisor, Deputy Chief Robert Anzueto, is calling them all heroes.
At the time, the officers said it was hard to see anything inside the club, because it was so dark, but patients grabbed them and screamed for help. Anzueto said the officers were about 30 feet from the killer, when they made around 15 to 18 rescues.
"These people needed my help, and they were reaching out to us to help them. It was an instinctive thing to grab whoever I could and get them out of there, get them into a safe zone," said Officer James Hyland.
Hyland was driving an unmarked OPD black Ford F-150, onto which victims were loaded and taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
"I don't remember anybody really talking to us. They were either in shock or just so injured at the time that there wasn't much conversation," explained Officer Justin Lovett. "We got them to the truck, dropped off who we could and ran off to try to bring more people out."
Lovett described the scene as "horrific" as he and some 50 police officers disregarded their own safety. "At some point, I think someone made mention of a bomb, and we needed to get back. All the officers looked at each other, and we all decided at the same time, there is no way we're going to move. Leave them here? Nobody moved."
Officer Michael Napolitano, who was saved by his Kevlar helmet from the shooter's bullet, was also transported to ORMC by his colleagues.
The officers were not allowed to go into detail about the shooting, because it' is still an open investigation.

Adults are getting smarter about how smart babies are. Not long ago, researchers learned that 4-day-olds innately understand addition and subtraction. Now, University of Reading research psychologist Graham Schafer has discovered that infants—typically considered prelinguistic—can learn words for uncommon things long before they can speak. “They may not be saying much, but they probably understand a lot more,” Schafer says. He found that 9-month-old infants could be taught, through repeated show-and-tell, to recognize the names of objects that were foreign to them, a result that challenges the received wisdom that, apart from learning to identify things common to their daily lives, children don’t begin to build vocabulary until well into their second year. “It’s no secret that children learn words, but the words they tend to know are words linked to specific situations in the home,” explains Schafer. “This is the first demonstration that we can choose what words the children will learn and that they can respond to them with an unfamiliar voice giving instructions in an unfamiliar setting.”
Figuring out how humans acquire language may shed light on why some children learn to read and write later than others, Schafer says, and could lead to better treatments for developmental pathologies such as autism and Williams syndrome. What’s more, the study of language acquisition offers direct insight into how humans learn. “Language is a test case for human cognitive development,” says Schafer. But overzealous parents itching to bust out flash cards should take note: Even without being taught new words, a control group caught up to the other infants within a few months. “This is not about hothousing or advancing development,” he says. “It’s just about what children can do at an earlier age than what theorists or educators have often thought.”

Two Greek finds in Archaeology magazine most important discoveries for 2016
Posted on December 14, 2016, 10:11 am
Two Greek archaeological finds are included in the list of the top 10 most important discoveries in the world for 2016 according to Archaeology magazine. The remains of 80 men shackled together at the wrists in a mass grave at a necropolis near Athens and the first human remains to be found at the Antikythera shipwreck in almost 40 years.
The end of the seventh century B.C. was a tumultuous period in Athenian history. Though once ruled by a king, the increasingly powerful region of Attica, home to Athens, had come to be presided over by aristocrats who maintained their hold on power through landownership and lifetime appointments. But as the century drew to a close, the political climate was primed for a new type of government – that of a single ruler, or tyrant. An evocative grave site on the outskirts of Athens is a testament to this contentious moment in history.
Excavators at the Phaleron Delta necropolis have uncovered the remains of 80 men, shackled together at their wrists, lying in a mass grave. The most recent osteological studies have determined that the majority of the men were between 20 and 30 years old, although four were much younger, and that all 80 had been killed in the same manner – with a fatal blow to the head. The discovery of two small vases buried with them has allowed archaeologists to date the grave to the mid-to-late seventh century B.C., suggesting to project director Stella Chrysoulaki that the men were executed in the course of one of these attempts to gain political primacy. “For the first time,” Chrysoulaki says, “we can illustrate historical events that took place during the struggle between aristocrats in the seventh century and led, through a long process, to the establishment of a democratic regime in the city of Athens.
“The Antikythera shipwreck (circa 65 B.C.) is the ancient world’s largest, richest, and perhaps most famous wreck. Discovered in 1900 off the Greek island of Antikythera, the site has yielded hundreds of treasures, including bronze and marble statues, as well as the Antikythera Mechanism, often referred to as the world’s oldest computer. However, an important new discovery was made in summer 2016 when an international team recovered a human skeleton there. The remains, which include parts of the cranium, jaw, teeth, ribs, and long bones of the arms and legs, most likely belonged to a young male. Evidence of at least four other individuals had previously been found at the site, but the newly discovered remains are the first to be uncovered in almost 40 years – and during the age of DNA analysis. According to ancient DNA expert Hannes Schroeder, the discovery might provide the first opportunity to examine the genetics of an ancient mariner. “Human remains from ancient shipwrecks are extremely uncommon,” he says. “DNA analyses can potentially provide fascinating new information on the crew’s genetic ancestry and geographic origins.”
Project co-director Brendan Foley suggests that the individual may have been trapped below decks when the ship smashed into the rocks and sank. Parts of the skeleton discovered in 2016 remain in site and will be further excavated this summer. Foley believes that even more human remains may survive at the site along with other precious cargo.

2019 Molloy Nursing Graduates Win Election
Two of Molloy's 2019 Nursing graduates - Megan Scali and Grace Anne Crockett - were recently elected to the board of directors of the New York Chapter of the American Nursing Association (NY-ANA). Both Scali and Crockett will be a part of the Chapter's Nominations and Elections Committee.
"I never would have had the confidence to run for state office without all the leadership opportunities I had at Molloy," said Scali, whose Molloy resume includes student government and being a part of the tennis team. "Grace and I were roommates at Molloy, and we also were co-VPs of the NY-ANA Student Association, so we are both looking forward to doing even more with the ANA going forward."
"I was so nervous when I first got to college, but there is no doubt that Molloy helped me become the person I am today," said Crockett, who ran track at Molloy while also participating in student government and other activities. "The Molloy spirit has carried me to where I am today, and I am happy and proud that Megan and I will have the opportunity to continue to serve as leaders in our professional careers."


NOW MagazineLifeHealthThe pandemic is affecting your sleep in ways you might not expect
The pandemic is affecting your sleep in ways you might not expect
Stress eating and staying at home 24/7 is continuing to impact our sleep routines
By Charlie Smith
It’s sometimes called the “Quarintine 19.” Higher stress levels, more time snacking at home and less exercise is causing the expansion of waistlines during the pandemic.
A WebMD poll of 1,000 readers found that nearly half of women respondents and one-quarter of men admitted gaining weight since the outbreak of COVID-19. A different survey of 1,500 Canadians by Leger reported that 32 per cent had gained weight since the pandemic started.
What many don’t realize is that weight gain is increasing the likelihood of sleep apnea, a serious disorder in which people repeatedly stop and start breathing after dozing off. Dr. Fernanda Almeida, an associate professor in UBC’s faculty of dentistry says that if sleep apnea goes untreated, it can lead to range of serious health issues, including cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, depression and dementia. Another consequences of severe sleep apnea is a higher risk of having accidents during the day, due to being less alert.
According to Almeida, there’s a strong link between obesity and sleep apnea. It results from the temporary relaxation of soft tissues in the throat, closing a person’s airway while they snore.
“What we normally say is if you can lose, for example, 20 per cent of your weight, you can decrease your apnea by half,” Almeida said. “That’s what we tell patients who have 20 per cent to lose.”
At the same time, she emphasized it’s possible to have sleep apnea even if you’re not obese.
The majority of patients are not aware they keep waking up during their sleep, Almeida added. That’s because these “mini-awakenings,” also called “arousals,” only last between three to 10 seconds.
“We can only see them by looking at an electroencephalogram,” she said.
Almeida pointed out that fragmented sleep can also affect memory in ways that have only recently become known. The glymphatic system cleans the brain, mostly when a person is sleeping. But she says that repeatedly waking up in the middle of the night, even for tiny intervals, interferes with this process. And if the brain’s synapses aren’t properly cleaned, this debris can accumulate over time.
“That would make patients with sleep apnea more prone to having dementia and Alzheimer’s disease because of that mechanism,” Almeida declared.
The same issue can be a contributing factor in depression.
But sleep apnea isn’t the only potential consequence of staying home 24/7 and not exercising. Those who don’t go outside – which is easy to justify nowadays – also risk disrupting their circadian rhythms. This is the natural internal process that regulates our sleeping and waking cycle.
Vancouver-based sleep researcher and neuroscientist Myriam Juda said that when these rhythms are disrupted, it can lead to severe health outcomes, such as higher incidence of depression and diabetes, as well as cardiovascular disease.
An adjunct professor of psychology at Simon Fraser University and research manager at UBC’s BRAIN Lab, Juda said human beings tend to believe the sleep-wake schedule is very much under their control. In fact, it’s physiologically regulated and is a product of human evolution.
“The circadian clock synchronizes to our environment,” Juda explained. “The most reliable indicator in our environment is the light-dark cycle of the sun. That is a 24-hour clock. And over millions of years, we have evolved mechanisms to synchronize to the light-dark cycle of the sun on a continuous basis.”
She added that photo-receptors in the eyes have the sole function providing information on light and darkness to the hypothalamus in the brain. That then regulates sleep patterns.
“As humans, we are day-active and we sleep at night,” she said. “This is not because we have decided to do so at some point.”
But if we’re not exposed to natural light, this affects the amplitude of circadian rhythms.
According to Juda, a high amplitude means a person has high sleepiness at night and high wakefulness during the day.
A lower amplitude is associated with the opposite – low sleepiness at night and low wakefulness during the day. These rhythms flatten when people are not exposed to natural light. That can result in less restful sleep at night and more fatigue during the day.
“It’s not a very nice way of living,” Juda said. “It increases your risk of accidents, including car accidents, and it affects your productivity and your mental health.”
Fortunately, there are relatively easy ways to address disrupted circadian rhythms and sleep apnea. And by taking action, it’s possible to reduce the likelihood of devastating health outcomes.
Juda said that being exposed to two hours of natural daylight each day will improve circadian rhythms, facilitating a deeper sleep at night and more wakefulness in the day. And if a person doesn’t have two hours to spend outside, it’s possible to maximize the benefits of natural light by stepping out earlier in the day.
“Fifteen minutes in the morning is equivalent to a few hours of light exposure in the afternoon,” she said.
As for sleep apnea, Almeida cited several treatments, including “oral appliances.” These are retainer-like devices that either pull the mandible or the tongue forward.
“There are more than 100 already FDA-approved that are out there,” she said. “Now there are good companies that do them very precisely, with warranties.”
Another option is continuous-positive-airway-pressure machines, aka CPAPs, which apply atmospheric pressure through a mask to the upper airway. Almeida said CPAPs work exceptionally well, but many people dislike donning a mask before going to sleep.
“With the oral appliances, they do decrease the apneas as well, but less effectively than the CPAP,” she stated. “But they’re so much easier to use. Patients tend to use them every night, all night long.”

HUGH CAVENDER line (1646/7-1697)
HUGH CAVENAGH (“John Hugh Cavenagh”?, "Hugh Cavenaugh"?, "Hugh Cavenough", “Hugh Caviner”, “John Hugh Cavender”? & "Hugh Cavender"?), believed to have been born about 1646-1647, departed the port of Bristol, Bristol County, England on August 20, 1658 as a “yoeman” on a ship headed for the colony of Virginia to begin his service as an indentured servant to a Mr. Wills in Virginia for a period of 5 years.
It is often said:
“The concept of ‘correct’ spelling of any name is comparatively modern - because, of course, spelling only has meaning to literate people. On the very few occasions when our distant ancestors’ names were recorded, the spelling would be determined by the vicar or official who wrote it. That spelling was as valid as any other - our ancestor didn’t know or care because he couldn’t read it. An illiterate man’s name was only a sound - not a sequence of letters. Do not expect fixed spellings of any surname until 1870 or even later.”
Of possible relevance, according to LDS records: (i) a Hugh Kavanagh died about 1633 in Wexford, Ireland and apparently was listed as being a relative of William Cavanagh, and (ii) a Hugh Cavanagh was born in Dublin, Dublin County, Ireland about 1652 and was likewise listed as being a relative of William Cavanagh.
According to a letter dated August 17, 2001 from Della Murphy, Assistant Keeper II, Genealogical Office, Dublin, Dublin County, Ireland, it was stated: “I would suspect that your name (i.e., Cavender) may have originally been Cavanagh (pronounced Cavana).”
On June 9, 1668, Hugh Cavenagh (“Hugh Cavender”) testified as a witness in a lawsuit brought by Thomas Baker against Phillip Bisse on April 7, 1668 in the County Court of Charles County, Maryland. He swore before the Court that he was then about 21-22 years of age (thus born about 1646-1647), that Mr. Philip Bisse ("Phillip Bisse"?), defendant, came to Mr. Thomas Baker, plaintiff, about April 17, 1668 and demanded a hogshead of tobacco in Daniel Johnson's name, and that the said Thomas Baker asked him whether he had a note from the said Daniel Johnson for the same, replied that he had, whereupon the said Philip Bisse weighed the tobacco and marked it.281, 392, 393 & 412
On September 8, 1668, Samuel Cressy (apparently the Sheriff) delivered a complaint to the named defendant, Thomas Baker, on a suit brought against him by Hugh Cavenagh ("Hugh Cavenaugh"? & "Hugh Cavender"?) for trespass and damages. The factual basis for the suit was not specified. Hearing before the court in Charles County, Maryland was scheduled for September 8, 1668. However, as Hugh Cavenagh did not appear in Court, the suit was dismissed on November 10, 1668. 392 & 393
On April 10, 1671, when about 24-25 years of age, Hugh Caviner (Hugh Caverner”, “Hugh Cavenagh”?, “Hugh Cavenah”? & "Hugh Cavender"?) and a Joseph LeDuke, both of St. Mary's County, Maryland, proved their rights for 100 acres of land, “it being due to them for transporting themselves into this Province to inhabit”. They both executed an assignment which stated:
"Know all men by these presents that we, Hugh Caviner (also "Hugh Cavnier") and Joseph LeDuke, of the county of St. Maries (Actually St. Mary's County, Maryland) for valuable consideration to us in hand paid by James Lewis of the same county have assigned, sold and made over and by these presents do assign, sell and set over unto the said James Lewis all of our right, title and interest of, in and to our Leveroll Rights to Land to us due for transporting ourselves into this Province to inhabit, to have and to hold the said one hundred acres rights to him the said James Lewis, his heirs and assigns forever, In Witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals the tenth day of April 1671. Sealed and delivered in the presence of Robert Ellys (“Robert Ellis”?)."
The above instrument was signed and sealed on behalf of both Hugh Caviner and Joseph LeDuke as neither man apparently could write his own name, and was witnessed by Robert Ellys (“Robert Ellis”?). On the same date, James Lewis, a planter, received 50 acres in consideration of his furnishing transportation to Elizabeth Thompson into the province. Still further, John Rawlings, merchant, received 150 acres of land for furnishing transportation to James Devill, William Thompson and Katherine Niver into the province and which he also assigned to James Lewis. Still further, and on the same date, James Lewis assigned the above 300 acres of land to Thomas Paine, who, in turn assigned the acreage to Robert Ridgely (“Robert Ridgley”? & “Robert Ridgly”?). 370
On February 27, 1679, the County Court of Westmoreland County, Virginia declared Ellianor Cavanagh ("Eleanor Cavanagh"?, "Elinor Cavanagh"?, "Ellianor Cavender"?, "Eleanor Cavender"? & "Elinor Cavender"?) to be a free woman. As it can be assumed that when she was declared to be a free woman, she had served her indenture time, that she was then married, and that she was also at least 18 years of age at that particular time and therefore must have been born prior to 1661. As the above Hugh Cavenagh ("Hugh Caviner” & “Hugh Cavender”?) was born about 1646-1647, he would have been about 32-33 years old at the time Elinor Cavanagh was declared a free woman.
It is to be noted that the law reiterated in October 1705 stated that indentured servants could get married, if the master approved. The law read as follows:
"And be it also enacted, by the authority aforesaid, and it is hereby enacted, that if any minister or reader shall wittingly publish, or suffer to be published, the banns of matrimony, between any servants, or between any free person and a servant; or if a minister shall wittingly celebrate the rites of matrimony between any such, without a certificate from the master or mistress of every such servant, that it is done by their consent, he shall forfeit and pay ten thousand pounds of tobacco: And every servant so married, without the consent of his or her master or mistress, shall, for his or hersaid offence, serve his or her master or mistress, their executors, administrators, or assigns, one whole year, after the time of service, by indenture or custom, is expired: And moreover, every person being free and so marrying with a servant, shall, for his or her said offence, forfeit and pay to the master or owner of such servant, one thousand pounds of tobacco, or well and faithfully serve the said master or owner of the said servant one whole year, in actual service."
It is believed that Hugh Cavanagh eventually married an Elinor Sheridan (“Eleanor Sheridan”) shortly before she was declared by the court in Westmoreland County, Virginia to be a free woman, and that he died shortly before 1709. It is further believed that following the early death of Hugh Cavanagh, widow Elinor Cavanagh (“Elinor Cavender”) remarried an Eaches to become Elinor Eaches (“Elin Ereches” & “Elin Eaches”) who was mentioned in the Last Will and Testament of her father, John Sherdon (“John Sheridan”?”) which was probated in Lunenburg Parish, Richmond County, Virginia on June 1, 1709, as mentioned in greater detail hereinafter.
The above are the only evidence thus far found of anyone, except the above Hugh Cavenagh and Elinor Cavenagh, who could have been the parents of the following 7 minor children who were subsequently born during the years 1681-1690 after their mother was declared a free woman, and all of which were subsequently indentured. In fact, it appears that the youngest child, John Cavenagh (“John Caviner” & “John Cavender”?), was indentured when he was in his 60's.
The basis of assuming that the maiden name of Elinor Cavender was Elinor Sheridan is base on the fact that on June 1, 1709, the last Will and Testament of John Shordon ("John Shordon"?, “John Sherdan”? & "John Sheridan"?) was probated in Lunenburg Parish, Richmond County, Virginia and that Ellen Eroche (also “Eleanor Eaches”, “Elin Eroche”, “Elinor Eroche”, “Elinor Eaches” & “Eliner Eaches”) was the named Executrix, and in which Will he bequested to his godson, John Dunn, the son of Patrick Dunn, and he further bequested to his grandson and son of Elllen Eroche, Daniel Cavenner (“Daniel Caverner”?, “Daniel Cavener”?, "Daniel Cavener", “Daniel Cavenough”? & “Daniel Cavender”?) who was to receive either a "hat of a half-crown price" or “half of a half-crown piece”, and his daughter Ellen and her son John Cavenner ("John Caverner"?, "John Cavener"?, John Cavenough"? & "John Cavender"?) were to receive the remainder of his estate. 393 & Richmond Cnty, Va Will Bk 1, p.128-129
On July 6, 1709, Eleanor Eaches (“Elinor Eaches”, formerly “Elinor Cavenner”) was ordered by the County Court of Richmond County, Virginia to present inventory of the estate of John Sherdon (“John Sheridan”). The order was discontinued on September 8, 1709 as she did not appear in Court, apparently because she was either too ill or the fact that she was then deceased, because an inventory of her estate was filed on June 5, 1710 by Samuel Peachey in the county court of Richmond County, Virginia.393
The children of Hugh Cavenagh (“Hugh Cavender”?) and Elinor Cavenagh (“Elinor Cavender”? & “Eleanor Cavender”?) who were born after she was declared to be a “free” woman on February 27, 1679 are believed to be as follows:
(i) THOMAS CAVENAH/THOMAS CAVERNER (“Thomas Cavender”?) born about 1681, was bound out to Thomas Banks of Northumberland County, Virginia, and died about 1719 in Richmond County, Virginia, at the age of about 38 years. An inventory of his estate was filed by Stephen Wells in Richmond County, Virginia on May 6, 1719, which is the very same date that the inventory of the estate of Daniel Caverner (“Thomas Cavender”) was filed and who is believed to be his brother.
The basis of establishing his date of birth is based on the fact that on July 25, 1697, Thomas Cavenah ("Thomas Cavender"?), then a servant to a Mr. Thomas Banks, was adjudged by the Court of Northumberland County, Virginia to be 16 years of age, and was ordered to serve as indentured servant according to law; Records of Indentured Servants, etc. of Northumberland Cnty Va, p170, document 989
In 1703, Thomas Cavenah (“Thomas Cavender”?) was claimed as a headright by Harry Beverley (“Harry Beverly”?) and John Smith in Essex County, Virginia.393
On either March 21, 1705 or March 21, 1706, a certificate was granted to Capt. George Eskridge for 450 acres of land in Northumberland County, Virginia for the importation of 9 persons, including Thomas Cavernott (“Thomas Cavender”?). 393
On July 6, 1710, the suit previously brought by John Crawly (“John Cralle”, “John Crawley”, “John Craley”?, "John Crauley" & “John Cralley) against Thomas Caverner (“Thomas Cavender”) in the county court of Richmond County, Virginia was continued until the next court. Apparently, on March 7, 1711, the suit was dismissed as the plaintiff did not appear to prosecute. 393 & 441
On August 7, 1712, the lawsuit filed in the county court of Richmond County, Virginia by Henry Halso against Thomas Cavener (“Thomas Cavender”) for a debt owed to him by Thomas Cavener was dismissed. 393
On March 8, 1715, the lawsuit previous brought by Jane Todd in the Court of Richmond County, Virginia against John Lane for 300 pounds of tobacco, to which suit Thomas Caverner ("Thomas Cavender") was an assignee, was dismissed as Thomas Caverner was not prosecuting.Richmond Cnty Va Order Bk 6, p. 416
On April 1, 1719, Gilbert Metcalf, William Smith on the hill, William Smith by the pond and John Grower were appointed by the Court of Richmond County, Virginia to appraise the estate of Thomas Caverner ("Thomas Cavender"), deceased, which was to be administered by Stephen Wells who made oath that Thomas Caverner died intestate. Security bond was posted by Samuel Bayley (“Samuel Bailey”?) and John Simons (“John Seamen”?). Gilbert Metcalfe (“Gilbert Metcalf”?), William Smith by the ponds, William Smith on the hill, and John Gower were to do the appraisal of the estate. Richmond Cnty Va Order Bk 8, p. 91
On May 6, 1719, Stephen Wells was named the administrator of the estate of Thomas Caverner (“Thomas Cavender”) in Richmond County, Virginia;
(ii) WILLIAM CAVENAH/WILLIAM CAVENDER (“William Cavenah, Sr.”?, “William Cavinah”? & “William Cavender”, Sr.) also born about 1680-1681, was bound out to William Wildy in Northumberland County, Virginia, married a Turbevile or Turbeville, and apparently died prior to 1719 at the age of about 38-39. (See later entry regarding the son of William Cavenah/Cavender where the surname of his son was written as CAVENDER, not Cavenah.
The basis for establishing his date of birth is based on the fact that on August 18, 1697,a William Covenah (William Cavenah in a marginal note), then a servant to William Wildy, was adjudged by the Court of Northumberland County, Virginia to then be 16 years of age, and was ordered to serve as an indentured servant according to law;Records of Indentured Servants, etc. of Northumberland Cnty Va, p171, document 993
Both he and his wife apparently deceased prior to 1719 because, on December 1, 1718, Gilbert Turbervile (“Gilbert Turbeville”? & “Gilbert Turberville”) of St. Mary's County, Maryland (“St. Mary’s County, Maryland”) executed his Last Will and Testament and which was probated on June 15, 1719. In his Will, he left his entire personal estate to his grandson, William Cavinaugh ("William Cavenaugh"?, “William Cavenner”?, “William Caverner”?, “William Cavener”?, "William Cavener", “William Cavenough”? & "William Cavender"?), bequested 10 pounds to St. Innigoes Church, and bequested 10 shillings to his granddaughter, Margaret Cavinaugh ("Margaret Cavenaugh"? & "Margaret Cavender"?). Vitus Harbert was appointed the guardian of William Cavinaugh and Margaret Cavinaugh as their parents were then deceased.392 Thus, William Cavenah and his wife had at least 2 children:
WILLIAM CAVENAH/WILLIAM CAVENDER (“William Cavenah, Jr.”? & “Willliam Cavender”Jr.) who apparently married a Mary, and who was mentioned in the Last Will and Testament of his maternal grandfather, Gilbert Turbervile (“Gilbert Turberville”? & “Gilbert Turbeville”?), of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, and who apparently married a Mary.
On August 8, 1741, William Cavenough ("William Cavenaugh"? & "William Cavender"?) and Mary Cavenough ("Mary Cavenaugh"? & "Mary Cavender"?) witnessed the execution of the last Will and Testament of Charles Sewall (“Charles Sewal”?) of St. Mary's County, Maryland.392 & 441
On May 13, 1751, in the Last Will and Testament of George Clarke ("George Clark") in St. Mary's County, Maryland, it was stated that William Cavenough (“William Cavenah”? & "William Cavender"?) was the previous seller of land to the said George Clarke.412
On ____ 8, 1767, an accounting of the estate of W. Garland, deceased, was filed in the Court of Richmond County, Virginia by executor Griffin Garland and a William CAVENDER (exact spelling) was listed as a debtor; and,
MARGARET CAVENAH (“Margaret Cavender”?) who was mentioned in the Last Will and Testament of her maternal grandfather, Gilbert Turbevile (“Gilbert Turvenville”? & “Gilbert Turbeville”?), of St. Mary’s County, Maryland;
(iii) ELLINOR CAVENOH (“Ellinor Cavenah”?, "Eleanor Caviner"?, "Eleanor Cavener"?, "Eleanor Cavenough"?, "Eleanor Cavenaugh"?, "Elinor Cavender"? & "Eleanor Cavender"?) born about 1682-1683. The basisand for establishing her date of birth is the fact that on January 31, 1699, she was then an indentured servant to William Carruther ("William Caruther"?) and was adjudged by the Court of Westmoreland County, Virginia to then be 16 years of age and ordered to serve according to law.Westmoreland Cnty, Va. Order Bk 1698-1705, p 69a & 112
It is to be noted that, on September 27, 1704, William Graham made oath in the Court of Westmoreland County, Virginia claiming 8 headrights for importations into this Colony, one of whom was an Elleanor Cavano (“Ellinor Cavenoh”?, “Ellinor Cavenah”?, "Eleanor Cavender"? & "Elinor Cavender"?). The so-called “Headrights” were assigned to George Eskridge who was buying up several land certificates at the time. And, in 1705, an Eleanor Cavano (“Eleanor Cavender”?) was claimed as a headright by Augustine Smith for land in Essex County, Virginia.)393 & Westmoreland Cnty Order Bk, p 243a & 393
On April 5, 1722, Ellinor Caverner (“Ellinor Cavenah”?, "Elinor Caverner", "Eleanor Caverner", "Eleanor Cavenogh"? "Eleanor Cavenaugh"?, "Ellinor Cavender",? "Elinor Cavender"? & "Eleanor Cavender"?) of Richmond County, Virginia was on a long list of persons presented by the Grand Jury that were summoned into court as evidence against Thomas Twinley.441
On June 6, 1722, the Court in Richmond County, Virginia ordered the Sheriff to summon Ellinor Caverner (“Elinor Caverner”, “Elianor Caverner”, “Eleanor Cavender”, “Ellinor Cavender”? & “Elinor Cavender”?) to the next session of the county court of North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, Virginia, together with a servant belonging to Moore Fartleroy ("Moore Fauntleroy" & "Moore Fantleroy"), to answer presentment of the grand jury against her for have a bastard born child, by report to be a mullato contrary to law. On the same date, judgment was granted by the Court in Richmond County, Virginia to John Calley (“John Crawley”, "John Cralley", “John Caley”? & "John Crauley") against the estate of Francis Caverner, deceased, in the hands of Johannah Caverner, administratrix of the descendant’s estate, for six thousand and eight hundred thirty seven pounds of tobacco due upon balance of a bill which is ordered to be paid out of the estate of said descendant with costs. Also on the same date, a court order was issued by the Court in Richmond County, Virginia ordering that Thomas Twinley be taken into custody and that the Sheriff give notice to Moore Fartleroy (“Moore Fauntleroy”) and William Smith to have their Negroes Jack, Peter and Opher at the next court concerning the said Thomas Twinley. 441 & Richmond Cnty Va Order Bk 9, pgs 50 & 51
On May 6, 1724, she was again summoned into the Court of Richmond County, Virginia to answer a "presentment" of having a mulatto baseborn child. Richmond Cnty Va Order Bk 9, p. 150
And, on July 1, 1724, she was finally appeared before the grand jury in the Court of Richmond County, Virginia on the charge of having a bastard child, who plainly appears to be a mulatto, and she now appears in Court with her child which plainly appears to be a mulatto, it is therefore ordered that after her time has expired with her present master, that she pay 15 pounds of current money to the church wardens of North Farnum Parish ("North Farnham Parish") of Richmond County, Virginia, or that she be sold by them for 5 years to the use aforesaid. And it was further ordered that after she serves her present master or his assigns after her time now due to him is expired 1 whole year in consideration for the trouble to his house for her having the said child.441 & Richmond Cnty, Va Order Bk9 p 164
It is to be noted that she may have subsequently married a Barnsby and moved to Fairfax County, Virginia. This conclusion is based on the fact that on May 7, 1755, a John Cavener ("John Cavenor"? &"John Cavender"?) of Fairfax County, Virginia, believed to be her nephew, executed his Last Will and Testament in Fairfax County, Virginia in which he left to Elenor Barnsby("Eleanor Barnsby", "Eleanor Barnsby" & "Elinor Barnsby"?) all his personal estate and appointed her as the Executrix. His Will was witnessed by William Grove, George Simpson and Peter Smith, Jr. He apparently died in Fairfax County prior to May 20, 1755 as it was on that date Eleanor Barnsby filed an affidavit in court requesting that the above Will of John Cavender be probated, and which was "proved" on May 30, 1755. An appraisal of the estate of John Cavener was filed on June 17, 1755 by James Ingoe Dozier (“James Dozier”), Richard Brown and George Landman. It is possible that Elinor Barnsby was the aunt of the deceased John Cavender and that she was the person who had a mulatto child earlier, had subsequently married and moved to Fairfax County, Virginia, or that she was the Elinor Eaches who had subsequently remarried to a Barnsby,, and hence was the grandmother of John Cavender.
(iv) FRANCIS CAVINER/FRANCIS CAVERNER/FRANCIS CAVENAUGH ("Francis Cavender"?) born about 1681-1682, lived in Richmond County, Virginia, and who died in either 1721("Old Style" calendar) or 1722 ("New Style" calendar) at the age of 39 years, leaving a 1-2 year old son named John Caverner ("John Cavener"?, “John Cavenough”?, “John Caviner”? & "John Cavender"?). 441 Actually, his widow applied for administration of his estate about April 2, 1722 and an inventory of his estate was filed in Richmond County, Virginia on May 2, 1722. The so-called “New Style” Calendar became effective on January 1, 1751 and which was revised in order to compensate for earlier miscalculations. Thus, in 1752, the new year began on January 1 for the very first time. Previously, the year began on March 25. Therefore all dates before that day (that is, January 1-March 24, inclusive, of each year) would bear the date of the previous year. The so-called Gregorian Calendar was first adopted in Europe in 1582 and was later adopted in the British Colonies in on January 1, 1751.
