She was married to Capt. Urie MALLORY.

Hannah Paige CAVE was born about 1770 in Culpeper Co, Va. She died in 1819 in Ky. She was Baptist in Clear Creek Baptist Church.⁽⁵⁾ Hanna Graves was baptized about the same time asd her sister Rice was, and then about fourteen years old. She had a very intimate companion, about her own age, and both of them under deep distress of soul at the same time. This companion was Polly Woodfor, the daughter of Col. Sowel Woodfork, yet living. The revival of religion was so universal at Clear creek at this time, that meetings were progressing day and night--these poor distressed girls were generally together, and when after long setting up at meetings, in bed together, they would weep and converse together chief of the night; and if one should drop to sleep, the other with bedwing tears, raising her warning voice, would say how can you sleep, when every drawing breath may terminate in eternal destruction. "Those dear girl continued a considerable time in this sistressed state--Hannah obtained deliverence first, at a meeting where old sister Arnold now lives, in the same old house spoken of before where many sinners had been converted. These girls sitting together, and Polly seeing something unusual in Hannah's contenance, explained what ails you--receiving no answer, she then replied, Hannah you are converted! O Hannah you are converted! Joyful Hannah after a little, replied something had taken place she could not well account for; but hoped it might be that great blessing. This sank poor Polly into deeper horror and despair than ever, concluding the Lord had cast her off for ever. This proved the killing blow to the dear girl; it seems they did not meet again for several days, soon after this Polly received deliverence, and the tide of joy having not subsided; could say dear Hannah I have found the Lord at their next meeting. To the best of my recollection, they were baptized on the same day; I remember the church sat at my house, when Polly told her experience. The relation of her hope in Christ. was of the most striking kind; to see a coinely virgin about fourteen years old, from one of the most respectable families in the country, rise from her seat with all the apparent solemnites of heaven, set forth by the tender feelings of heart, in the presence of a crowed attentive assembly, with all the judgement of imature age, related her hope in the lord Jesus, which she had obtained the day before.; Parents: Rev Richard CAVE and Elizabeth "Betsy" CRAIG.

Note:

RICHARD CAVE was one of the pioneer preachers of central Kentucky,
and was very useful among the early settlers. He was the son of
Captain Benjamin Cave of Orange county, Virginia, where he was born
to far from the year 1750. At an early age, he was led to Christ,
under the preaching of the famous Samuel Harris and James Read, and
united with Upper Spottsylvania church. He was set apart to the
ministry, by this church, while he was quite young. After
preaching a few years in his native county, he followed Lewis
Craig, whose sister he had married, and his brother William Cave,
who had moved the fall before, to the wilderness of Kentucky, in
1782. He settled in Garrard county, where he united with Gilbert's
Creek church. This was the same church he had first joined, but
now, in a new location, and bearing a new name. He remained at
Gilbert's Creek some tow years after Lewis Craig, the old pastor,
had moved away, and, with George Stokes Smith, supplied the church
with the ministry of the word. In the spring of 1785, he moved to
Woodford county, where he went into the constitution of Clear Creek
church. Here he was associated in the ministry with John Taylor,
John Dupuy, James Rucker and, soon afterwards, with John Tanner and
the venerable John Sutton. He was regarded as a man of great
piety, and was very zealous and useful, especially during a great
revival that commenced under his ministry at Clear Creek, in 1800.
The church received 326 by baptism, during one year, and was
increased to 558 members. This was the most useful period of Mr.
Cave's ministry; for not long afterwards, he fell into the pit that
has ineffaceably spotted the garments of multitudes of good men.
He contracted the habit of drinking too freely. When reproved for
this sin, he repented bitterly, and could never again be induced to
taste spirituous liquors. His zeal for the cause of Christ was
undiminished, but his usefulness was much impaired. Not long
before his death, he arose to close the exercise of a meeting he
attended, but was overpowered by a flood of tears and compelled to
sit down. He died of a protracted diarrhea, in July, 1816. A few
days before his departure, he expressed great serenity of soul, and
a patient acquiescence in the divine will. He had been a teacher
of music and was an excellent singer. A little before his last
breath, he sand in a loud voice, the words: --

"O for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster death,
And all its frightful powers."

Sarah CAVE died before 1810 in Woodford Co, Ky. She was Baptist in Clear Creek Baptist Church.⁽⁵⁾ Two females deceased--Those departed friends were Polly (Sarah) Rice and Hannah Graves: these being sisters were the daughters of Mr. Richard Cave; he lived long in the gospel ministry, and his labors at times very useful; some years past he was taken away by death. I have said something elsewhere of his biography. Their mother was a sister of the old preaching Craigs; has been a Baptist more than fifty years, and now as a mother in Israel is a member at Clear Creek; Her daughter Polly (Sarah), was married very young to Mr. Richard Rice; soon after becoming a mother, she became alarmed of her awful danger by sin; this awakening was by the preaching of Thomas Ammons, always a mighty son of thunder; he had been a great practical sinner; his conversion was as visible as his wickedness had been; he began to preach in the time of hot persecution in Virginia, was honored as many others were with a place in Culpeper prison for the testimony of his devine master; he died some years past in Kentucky. Mrs Rice was long under great anguish of soul about her lost and helpless state, all her prayers and tears left her justly condemed before a just and holy God; at length concluded there was no mercy for her, for the sinfulness of her own prayers condemned her; at a night meeting at Dudley Mitchums, this text pressed on her mind; "We know that God hearth not sinners, &c."--Lewis Craig being at the meeting, it occured to her in the time of preaching, that he and myself were worshippers of God, and that with great appearance of contrition she requested our prayers, and while prayer was thus offering up to God, she obtained a happy deliverence, which she openly professed and was soon afterwards baptized. She soon manifested her great zeal and sprightliness in the cause of religion.
It was not long till she requested her husband (who had been a Baptist before he married) to worship God ion his family; this being declined by her husband; she seriously proposed, with his consent to do it herself. This was yielded to for awhile, and perhaps would have been more sufferable, if company did not come; her mode was to read the scriptures, sing and pray with her husband, little children, and servants. Whether from the reproaches of his own conscience, or some other causes, we cannot say; yet nothing could prevent her earnest prayers to God for her little children, It is said she would leave her bed, and kneel down in the dead time of night by the bed of her sleeping children, in tearful prayers to God to save them. Her oldest son, William, now an ordained preacher at Clear Creek, says when a small boy, his mother would lead him out to a scret place, to pray for his salvation. There was no visible evidence that her prayers were answered before her death, at which time none of her children was grown, and herself, though the mother of seven children, bore the appearance of a girl not grown, or that had never been married--her death was very unexpected, and much lamented by her acquaitances. To converse on religion, seemed to be the theme of her soul, and with the utmost freedom,expressed her mind, though it might differ from all that were around. In company nothing seemed to escape her piercing eye, and in derelection from correctness, either in action or opinion, you might expect to hear from her, and though in great pleasantness, her reproofs would reach the quick like a sharp needle. Shortly before she breathed her last, a neighbor on a visit remarked to her friends, that he thought it improper to flatter her about a recovery; that she had but little time to stay, and he would be faithful to warn her, to use that little time the best way she could, to prepare for eternity. She overhearing what passed, calmly replied with a smile, calling him by name; I am not afraid to die, and as to preparation for eternity; it was not with her, but in the Savuior, whom she had trusted long ago; and that it was rather her choice to depart and be with Christ, which was far better. No doubt she thus went to her beloved Lord and Savior; she left seven children, her husband has since died, and left those children without living parents. The most of the children are since married, and in good families--all her children are hopefully converted; and they have joined the Baptist church, her prayers are answered after her death.
