The information above is current through 12/31/2005.  Note:  Since Easter and Thanksgiving usually occur on different dates each year, the births and deaths on those dates are not shown.  In addition, this information is based on the holidays as they are celebrated in the year 2005.  For example, December 25 (Christmas) and July 4 (Independence Day) were not declared official holidays in the United States until 1870.

 

 

Thirteen people buried in the Vaiden Cemetery were born in the 1700s.  No one that is buried in the Vaiden Cemetery died in the 1700s.  Those born in the 1700s are, as follows:

 

1766 – John Cain (12/12/1766)

1775 – Elias Oldham (no month or day given)

1782 – Captain John Hugh Wilson (06/07/1782)

1782 – Mary Ann Oldham (no month or day given)

1783 – Martha Pickens (no month or day given)

1785 – Patrick Cain (05/25/1785)

1786 – Issac Gordin (01/04/1786)

1786 – Thomas Pleasants (08/28/1786)

1787 – Elizabeth Gordin (01/18/1787)

1788 – Elenor Cain (06/06/1788)

1791 – Mary Welch Wilson (01/10/1791)

TRIVIA

 

1.     The second the year 2000 began, we witnessed 9 new things:  a new second; a new minute; a new hour; a new day; a new month; a new year; a new decade; a new century; a new millennium.  January 1, 2000 occurred on a Saturday.  Had it occurred on a Sunday, we would also have witnessed a 10th – a new week.

2.     The grave of John Cain (12/12/1766 – 04/17/1854) has been said for years to be the oldest recorded grave in the Vaiden Cemetery.  This is incorrect.  John Cain’s grave has the oldest recorded date of birth in the cemetery.  Based on the information from the grave markers, there were no burials in the Vaiden Cemetery until 1837, when the following were buried:  James H. Cain (11/30/1813 – 1837 (no month and day given of death)); Eliza Love Pleasant Wells (11/10/1818 – 04/13/1837); and Mary F. Wilson (n/a – 11/10/1837).  Therefore, it is a toss-up between James H. Cain or Eliza Love Pleasant Wells.  Since James H. Cain’s marker has no month or day given, he would be the first to be buried ONLY if he died before Eliza Wells (04/13/1837).  It is likely that Eliza Wells is the first burial.
