I am ashamed to say I have not looked at this forum in years, but I felt I needed to say something about "the Cabbage book."
We have pictures of the book and of the inside fly leaves, another cousin has possession of the book.
We shared pictures of the leaves with someone and they took it upon themselves to say that Heinrich was Adam and John's father. I have no proof to believe this. The book only lists Adam's children and their birth dates. Plus there is writing like someone was practicing their alphabet. We have had a professor from UT try and transcribe what was written and also do the first pages. He states the book was written in 1500 German and most scholars do not read this type of German.
He staes the one page says Heinrich Rabes (three times)(This could be a K instead of an R and the last s could be an r. It also says: Henrich Rabes Gott alone is There! the honor 1782. This have I Have I known. 1783 Gott gave me grace Another page looks like Henry Cabitch his book his hand
The books title page says basically:
Full translated Marburger
Song Book 615 Christine Songs of Psalms from the translation of Herr Martin Luther and others complete in 17 chapters
To find by Johann Henrich Stock Book Handler inWittich 1752.
Henry could have been a Cabbage or the book could have belonged to Adam's wife and she perhaps could have had a name like Capps (who also came into TN about the time of Adam and John). Or the boook could have been bought at a sale when one of the neighbors died. We just do not have any proof.
The same children listed in the book (other than Henrich) are the same children listed in the Rev War records of Adam and in Grainger Co., TN Deed Book K p. 615, 617, 623 and Book N. p. 256, p. 248. The children are Elizabeth woh married Richard Kirby, Mary Margret "Peggy" who married William Idol, John Cabbage who married Nancy Branson, Hannah Cabbage who married George Nicely, Sarah Cabbage (unwed), Adam Cabbage who married Catherine Long and Martha "Patsy" Cabbage who married John Nicely.
We have no proof who Adam's brother John's children were but we feel they are: Adlexander F. who married Elizabeth Stephens and Orpha Poe, John Cabbage who married Catherine Moyers, unnamed daughter who married Champion (Champless) Waters, Phoebe Cabbage who married Jospeh Preston Yadon II, Arnold Franklin Cabbage who married Margaret Condreay and Elizabeth "Betsy" Cabbage who married Samuel Cloud.
There is also a Maria Cabbage who married John Adam Nye who is in the picture but not sure if she was John's or not. She may be a niece or sister???????
As far as we know, no one has found the names of Adam and John's wives.
The Arnold Cabbage you mention is a son of Alexander F. Cabbage by his second wife, Orpha. There was a JOhn Cabbage, who married Nancy Branson and he lived in Park Co., In. and was the son of Adam and he had Lucretia, Henry S, William C, Lucinda, Elizabeth, Nancy, John C, Minerva Jane, Adam E, Jonathan W. However, Alexander F. Cabbage and wife Elizabeth Stephens had a John Cabbage who married Nancy Barrow and his children were James Willis, Thomas Washington, Alexander, Joshua, Elizabeth, Nancy Jane, Jacob, Isaac, Jonathan, Mary, and John. It is connfusing because everyone was named John.
I probably have confused everyone. Sarah, Adam's unwed daughter also had a John. My husband John, is from this line and of course we have a son John and a grandson John and the grandson says someday he will name his child John.
