Reverend Henry Calvin Cavender ("Uncle Cal") was born in Grainger County Tenn. and later moved to Missouri in mid-1800's.
At the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted on November 1, 1861 in Co. E, 6th Regiment Missouri Cavalry (USA). Was charged with desertion on Sept. 1, 1862 after "allegedly" being absent without leave; however, a company officer testified to the fact that Pvt. Cavender was sent home to recuperate during a debilitating illness. The War Department officially cleared him of all desertion charges on October 4th, 1886. (Took them a while!)
Pvt. Cavender was discharged from the U.S. Army on November 1, 1864 and was paid a bounty of $100.
Henry married Sarah Elizabeth Patton, also from Tennessee, and moved to a farm in Doss Missouri where he rode the horseback circuit ministry in the "Holiness Faith" throughout Dent County MO. and surrounding area.
In 1890 Henry moved his wife and only son, William Jefferson Cavender, to Salem, Dent County MO. where he lived until his death in 1915.
