Cawby: Cawby is one of my more interesting surnames considering it has 80-100 spelling variations. C and G were interchangeable with many of them. If my research is correct, Johannes Cabi/Cabe was of German origin. He arrived in Philadelphia, settled in Maryland and later North Carolina. Kentucky was his final home.
Mysteries? Who was John Cawby [that's Johannes Anglicized] first wife and mother of my line? Where was John from in Germany?
Not much needed here, but maybe finding the answers would open up a new line or two to torment me!
