James Cawthorn, of England, came to America and settled in Virginia.
He had but one child, a son named Charles, who served seven years in
the American Army during the Revolutionary War.  He was married first
to Elizabeth Williams, and they had one son, whom they named Asa, and
who was a soldier in the War of 1812.  After the death of his first
wife, Mr. Cawthorn married Mary Sanders, of Virginia, and they had
seven sons and three daughters.  Their names were: Asa Jr., David,
Paul, Silas, Richard, Stephen, Celia W., Elizabeth and Martha.  David
and Paul married and settled in Andrew County, MO.  Peter married the
widow of George Eubanks, and settled in Andrew County in 1835.  Silas
married Mary Jerman, and settled in Audrain County in 1835.  Richard
and Stephen and their three sisters settled in Indiana.  Peter and
Paul Cawthorn were twins, and very devoted to each other.  They marr-
ied widows of the same name (Eubanks), but who were not related in 
any way, and the brothers each had one daughter, which were of the 
same age.
