John C. Cabaniss was the son of Elija and Martha Owens Cabaniss.
John C. Cabaniss was born 25 Jan 1810 in Laurens District, South Carolina. He moved, along with his parents Elijah and Martha Cabaniss, to Marengo County Alabama, about 1825. John married Mary Elizabeth Ann "Eliza" Williams in Marengo County, Alabama on July 8, 1841. This marriage produced four children who lived to be adults:
Francis Jane Cabaniss Jones 1842 - 1924
John Bunyan Cabaniss 1847-1904
Sarah (Sallie) Cabaniss Young 1852 - 1922
Rev. Joseph Warren Cabaniss 1855-1907
Eliza drowned on 28 Jun 1856 when she accidently slipped off the bank, and into the water of a local creek, while picking berries. John, who was a blacksmith, was conscripted into the Confederate Army on 05 Apr 1862 despite his vehement objections. He was placed in Company E, of the 43rd Alabama Infantry Regiment and was killed 04 Sep 1862 at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee.
"Fannie", the eldest child, who was twenty years old at the time, found herself necessarily having to take charge of all matters relating to the needs of the family. Although it was a difficult situation, the four siblings managed to stay together at the Cabaniss residence until all were old enough to marry and begin their own families.
