IX - Louis Cavey. Born about 1643 at La-Ronde-Haye (Manche). Married (?) with Louise Larose (? - ?). Died April 1718. He is supposed to be the father of Toussaint above. He lived in the reigns of King Louis XIV (1643-1715) and, may be, at the end of the reigns of Louis XIII (1610-1643) and two years in the reigns of King Louis XV (1715-1774).

Because Louis Cavey is "supposed to be" the father of Toussaint, but we cannot go further. As told on the page French Caveys' history the name is continuously present at La-Ronde-Haye without any breaking since 1580, but we could not link the Caveys found there with my ancestors Cavey above.
