Stephen Cave's grandsons (through Daniel Cave) include the banker Sir Charles Daniel Cave 1st bart. (1832-1922), and lawyer and politician Rt Hon Sir Stephen Cave (possibly the Stephen Cave who as Chairman of the West India Planters and Merchants signed a condolence to Queen Victoria on the death of Prince Albert). Born 08/03/1763; married Ann Daniel. The death of a Stephen Cave was registered at Keynsham Q1 1838.

Appears in Clarendon claim no. 235 and St Ann claim no. 59 as the assignee of Arthur Foulks' mortgage from Philip and George Protheroe.  Possibly the partner in the Bristol drysalters and oil and colourmen firm which dissolved in 1806 with the retirement of Stephen Cave, the business carried on by John Cave and Laurence Prust.
