Charles Eugene Cabaniss (1 Mar. 1846-28 Aug. 1907), son of Septimus and Virginia, attended UVA in session 43 (1866-1867), then attended Sewanee University where he studied theology. He became an Episcopal minister and served as rector of several churches in several states — Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The Cabaniss family in America is descended from Henri Cabaniss of Lasalle, France, a French Huguenot who arrived in North America in 1688, and who settled in Manakin Town (near Richmond), in Goochland County, Virginia, in 1700.
