NOTES FROM YOUR EDITOR<br />
Dear Members of the <strong>Arkansas</strong> <strong>Genealogical</strong> <strong>Society</strong>:<br />
There is no doubt, everyone is helping make our "ARKANSAS<br />
FAMILY HISTORIAN" bigger and better each time. You can always<br />
depend on at least one complaint tho! This time it was from<br />
one of the Associate Editors! Quote: "If this doe.s not" slow<br />
down, the index will not go thru the December mails!"<br />
Many questions are being answered this time. If you do not<br />
find your friends and relatives listed on membership list for<br />
1975,' better see what the problems is. Tell them, there's not '<br />
much telling what they will miss. And that is true. The information<br />
has really poured into our office, and the Membership list<br />
is growing so fast, we will soon have to reprint the March issue.<br />
Everyone must be working and spreading the news, and filling in<br />
the Ancestor Charts and sending them back to be printed into book<br />
form (hopefully this fall). Also many have requested the names<br />
and addresses of the Historical Societies in <strong>Arkansas</strong>, and the<br />
<strong>Genealogical</strong> Societies, so you will find the current list of all<br />
the known Historical & <strong>Genealogical</strong> Societies on pages 114 & 115.<br />
Write and try to become a member, they might really have interesting<br />
articles, you might like to know about (might even be about<br />
your ancestors). 200 pages were promised for this years <strong>Arkansas</strong><br />
<strong>Family</strong> <strong>Historian</strong>, if the material was available, and you have made<br />
much material available, just keep sending it, as it is your magazine.<br />
We will have to reduce the next two issues to normal size,<br />
as paper and energy will both come to an end, not to mention our<br />
budget. All material is welcome and will find a place as space<br />
becomes available, more <strong>Family</strong> Histories are needed at present.<br />
But Bible Records Cemetery Inventories and other articles will<br />
also find a place. It is sure nice to have a variety and so far<br />
we have been lucky.<br />
All your nice little letters and notes have not gone in the<br />
trash (I frame most of them!) Even the "especially enjoyed" or<br />
"was delighted to find" have been passed on to the authors. We<br />
appreciate all kind words and remarks.<br />
NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE!<br />
The PRUDENCE HALL CHAPTER - Daughters of the American Revolution,<br />
of North Little Rock, are working on a worthy project, and<br />
we can all help! They would appreciate anyone letting them know<br />
the NAMES of all the CEMETERIES in your County which have been<br />
copied. Many are being recopied because there has not been a list<br />
available, showing which have already been inventoried. They need<br />
first the name of the County, name (or names if the cemetery is<br />
known by more than one name), the direction (how to find it from<br />
a known landmark). Then if the inventory has been printed and<br />
if it on record at the History Commission Office in Little Rock,<br />
at a Local Library; if it can be purchased, and if so where, and<br />

IN SEARCH OF MY ROOTS<br />
By. Jean Noel Cash, Sr.<br />
When my mother passed away in 1953 I realized how very<br />
little I knew of my family history, especially of the paternal<br />
(Cash) side, therefore I was determined to search out<br />
the family history, beginning with the paternal side, since<br />
I believed it would be the hardest in that I knew practically<br />
nothing about any of my ancestors. My father had died when<br />
I was only three and his father had died when he was only<br />
four, therefore the normal means of learning about your ancestors<br />
was not open to either of us. The only things known by<br />
any member of my family were. (1) OUr grand-parents were<br />
Anderson and Elvira Johnson Cash, (2) Our great-grandfather<br />
was Isham Cash, (3) Our grand-father had brothers known as<br />
"Bud" and ".Med", (4) The Cash family had moved to Clark County,<br />
<strong>Arkansas</strong> from somewhere in the South.<br />
After a few feeble attempts in 1953, I discovered I had<br />
neither the time, money or determination necessary to carry<br />
out my mission and therefore forgot about the project until<br />
1970, by which time I owned my own business and had the time<br />
and money that was required, but still not the determination.<br />
In May 1970, I received a telephone call from my neice, Mrs.<br />
Myrna Sue Cash McCabe, of Elmira, New York. She asked that<br />
I send "everything I knew of the Cash family." This was the<br />
incentive I needed.<br />
I went to the D.A.R. Library in Tulsa, Oklahoma where a<br />
nice lady loaned me a "How To" book on Genealogy. I began a<br />
search of every Volume this Library had on Virginia, the<br />
Carolinas, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, and<br />
wrote down every scrap of information on any Cash mentioned.<br />
I then went to the <strong>Arkansas</strong> History Commission in Little<br />
Rock and began a search of the filmed census they had there.<br />
The 1880, 1870 and 1860 Census of Clark County showed that my<br />
great-grandfather, Isham Cash, was born in North Carolina and<br />
so were the first five of his children, born ca 1837-1844.<br />
The next two were shown as born Tennessee ca 1847-50, and the<br />
last three born <strong>Arkansas</strong> ca 1851-58. I therefore concluded,<br />
correctly as it turned out, that great-grandfather Isham had<br />
been born in North Carolina ca 1814, lived there until ca 1845,<br />
moved to Tennessee and lived there until ca 1851, and then<br />
moved to Clark county, <strong>Arkansas</strong> ca 1851 and died there after<br />
1880. Since my notes showed that there were so many Cash<br />
Families living in Tennessee, I decided to skip the 1850 census<br />
and go to the 1840 Census of North Carolina, because my notes<br />
indicated that only one county in North Carolina showed Cahs's<br />
living there - Granville County. After only a few minutes of<br />
reading the 1840 Granville county, North Carolina Census, I<br />
found great-grandfather, Isham Cash listed by name, living in<br />
"Dutch District." I then read every Census of Granville<br />
County from 1790-1830 and Gopied down every Cash listed,<br />
I had now increased my knowledge to include the names of<br />
all my grand-uncles and aunts and where in the South they

II, JOSEPH CASH, the son of William and Elizabeth Cash,<br />
was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Washington Parish,<br />
ca 1706, He was married ca 1727 to Susannah Mason, daughter<br />
of George and Ann Mason ,of Prince William County, Virginia<br />
and Dunham Parish, Charles City, Maryland, He owned a<br />
plantation in Brunswick Parish, King George County until 1733,<br />
at which time he was deeded 150 acres on the lower side of<br />
Dogue Creek, Turo Parish, Prince William County, by George<br />
and Ann Mason "for the natural lives of Joseph Cash, Susannah,<br />
his wife, and Ann, their daughter," This part of Prince<br />
William County became part of Fairfax County in 1742, and its<br />
present location is directly along side of old U,S, Highway<br />
1 (Post Road) south of Alexandria near a village then called<br />
Occoquan, Over the years he purchased several hundred acres<br />
adjoining this property and by 1752 owned at least 959 acres,<br />
Susannah Mason Cash died ca 1749 and he was married ca 1750<br />
to Elizabeth, believed to be a member of the Culverhouse<br />
family, In 1772 he was commissioned to survey Dogue' Creek<br />
Road, which indicates he had a knowledge of surveying, In<br />
1774 he and most of his family, together with the Hall and<br />
Culverhouse families, moved to Dutch District (later Dutch<br />
ville), Granville County, North Carolina, where he, his son<br />
Joseph, Jr" and grand-son, Joseph Cash Hall, were granted<br />
approximately 1000 acres along Picture Branch Creek, He<br />
died in Granville County between 23 July 1779, the date of<br />
his Will, and August 1780, the date of probate, In his Will<br />
he named as his children (except William),<br />

NOTE I It might appear to some that there should be two men names<br />
Joseph Cash, father and son, instead of only one, since if<br />
only one man sired all these children he would have been about<br />
68 at the birth of the last child, Elizabeth. Despite this,<br />
the evidence is clear that there was only one, When George<br />
Mason deeded the land to Joseph Cash in 1733 he· named as the<br />
wife Susannah and daughter Ann, In his Will of 1779, Joseph<br />
referred to Ann as "my daughter Ann Hall," When Joseph's land<br />
was surveyed in 1779, Joseph Cash Hall was named as chain<br />
carrier on the survey party and Joseph Cash Hall was also<br />
granted land on the same date as Joseph Cash, Sr, and Jr., indicating<br />
he was over 21 at that time, In every case, his signature<br />
on legal documents was Joseph Cash Hall, clearly establishing<br />
his relationship to Joseph Cash, Sr. Ann Cash Hall<br />
named a daughter Susannah, establishing in all probability that<br />
her mother's name was Susannah and Joseph Cash Hall named his<br />
eldest daughter Ann, named probably for his mother, Ann Cash<br />
Hall. In the 1786 North Carolina State Census, Joseph Cash<br />
Hall is shown to have 5 sons and 3 daughters, further establishing<br />
his likely birth date as ca 1752, In their Revolutionary<br />
War Pension Applications, borth Peter and James, the sons
THE CASH FAMILY (Con't page 4)<br />
74<br />
of Joseph Sr" give as their place of birth Fairfax County,<br />
Virginia, and that they moved from there to Granville County,<br />
North Carolina in 1774, further supporting the evidence that<br />
the Joseph married to Susannah in Fairfax County, Va" and<br />
the Joseph married to Elizabeth in Granville County, North<br />
Carolina, were the same man,<br />
III, PETER CASH, the son'of Joseph, Sr" and Elizabeth Cash<br />
was born 1 January 1756 in Turo Parish, Fairfax County, Virginia,<br />
He moved to Granville County, North Carolina with his parents in<br />
1774, He was married to Sarah, thought to be a member of the<br />
Anderson Smith family, ca 1780, He served three 3 month tours<br />
of duty in the North Carolina Militia 1780-81, during the Revolutionary<br />
War, for which he was granted a pension of $30,00 per<br />
year, 28 November 1832, After the War ended, he began to buy a<br />
great amount of land in Granville County, mostly in Dutch District<br />
along Cedar Creek, Existing records indicate that he did<br />
not accumulate this land for farming, but rather did so as a<br />
business, as in each case he retained the property for only a<br />
short time and then sold at a considerable profit, By 1825 he<br />
had sold all but 73 acres, which he retained until his death, He<br />
died in Granville County in 1846 at the age of 90 and left a most<br />
peculiar WILL in which he left his estate to "my friend Elijah<br />
Hester, to be used for the benefit of my daughter Lucretia and my<br />
daughter-in-law Lucretia, wife of my son Peter, and after their<br />
death, to the heirs of their body," The WILL would seem to indicate<br />
that of all his children only Peter and Lucretia survived<br />
him, His children were,<br />

THE CASH FAMILY (Con't page 6)<br />
76<br />
The only evidence to suggest that there were two William<br />
Cash's was that the marriage bond of William and Lucy was<br />
signed and the other was marked with an ·X".<br />
V. ISHAM CASH, the son of William and Lucy Lanier Cash, was<br />
born in Dutch District (Dutchville), Granville County, North<br />
Carolina, 1814. lie was married in Granville County, 21 August<br />
1835 to Nancy Haley, the daughter of John Henry and Frances<br />
Adeline Haley. He lived and worked with his father, in Granville<br />
County until 1845, at which time, probably upon the death<br />
of his father, moved to Henry County, Tenn., near his uncle<br />
Elijah, where he remained until the early part of 1851. It is<br />
believed that his brothers, Dennis and Moses, accompanied him to<br />
Henry County, but continued on to Hot Spring County, <strong>Arkansas</strong>,<br />
after a short time. His move from Henry County to Hot Spring<br />
County in 1851 was probably prompted by the illness of Dennis,<br />
who died ca 1854. He remained in Hot Spring county until 4 October<br />
1858, at which time he purchased 160 acres near DeGray,<br />
Clark County, <strong>Arkansas</strong> adjoining the land farmed by his cousin,<br />
James Cash, Jr. (the gri\nd-son of Joseph, Jr" t.he brother of<br />
Isham's grand-father Peter, Sr.) Isham and his family continued<br />
to live near DeGray until 23 December 1864, at which time he purchased<br />
several hundred acres, 2 miles North North East of Antoine<br />
in Clark County, and moved there shortly after. Nancy Haley Cash<br />
died in 1881/82 and in 1883 he deeded all but 160 acres to his son<br />
John Henry Cash, and was married 28 Auc:!ust 1883 to Christian<br />
Morrison. He died at his home near Antoine, 22 March 1885. The<br />

CROWLEY Mrs. James R. Earle, RFD t 1, Centralia, Illinois<br />
62801 - I would love to uncover any record of one<br />
particular person who was a resident of Scott co., Ark. This<br />
person was Margaret (called Maggie) Crowley, and was the daughter<br />
ot Dennie James and Hanora Ronan Crowley. She was born in England<br />
in either 1851 or 1854 and Came to America with her parents to<br />
Montgomery Co., Ill., in 1859. She later moved with them to Hickman<br />
Twp., Scott Co., Ark., in the 1870's.<br />
Her mother Hanora, died there on 16 June 1880, and is buried<br />
at the Catholic Cemetery, Ft. Smith, Sebastian Co., along with<br />
another daughter Mary Ann, who died in 1880 or 1881, According to<br />
a document I have, Margaret died very soon after her mother, in<br />
<strong>Arkansas</strong>. The parish records in Ft, Smith nor their cemetery records,<br />
do not show Margaret, Also the search of County and city<br />
records at Ft, Smith were negative, In addition to this I have<br />
searched the records at the Waldron Courthouse with no results, The<br />
possibliity that Margaret may have married and is therefore buried<br />
under a name different than Crowley haS been mentioned, Again, no<br />
record at the Waldron Courthouse, Since I am particularly interested<br />
in this ancestor, because I am the fourth Margaret Crowley, that<br />
I have discovered so far, I am wondering if anyone can assist me in<br />
any way, Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,<br />

and his wife Louisa b. Alabama 1819, d. Drew Co" 1905, AND:<br />
Wish to locate an original copy of the book "A Brief History of the<br />
Fee <strong>Family</strong>· which was published in Chester, South Carolina, 1901.<br />
I have copied a carbon-copy of a typescript belonging to a member<br />
of the Dickey family, and probably made by Miss Jennie Lyle. I have<br />
re-organized this material and indexed it for easy reference, and<br />
will be glad to check it for anyone interested. The book traces<br />
the descendents of Robert and Rachel Scott Fee of Chester District,<br />
S. C., many of whom moved to <strong>Arkansas</strong>, until about 1900. I would<br />
also like to hear from anyone interested in up-dating this work.<br />
will gladly help anyone with Missouri connections, particularly in<br />
the St. Louis area, for SASE.<br />
EMRlE P. K, Blumer, Rt. 9, Midland, Mich., 48640 - My maternal<br />
grandfather, CHARLES EMRlE, b. about 1840, perhaps<br />
in England, He died sometime between 1905 and 1925, possibly in<br />
Ft. Smith, Sebastian Co., Ark., or some other town in Ark., or Mo.,<br />
or Kansas. He may have been a Confederate or Union or perhaps a<br />
British Soldier. An old letter indicates that a "Charlie" perhaps<br />
Charles Emrie) received a pension in about 1907. But U.S. pension<br />
records do not contain his name, He was a limestone quarry manager<br />
in 1880-84, and also carved inscriptions on limestone tombstones,<br />
also did copper plate engravings. He may have been married before<br />
he married my grandmother in 1882, in Humboldt, Iowa. I have found<br />
the name EMRIE (an unusual spelling) in St. Louis, Kansas city, Mo.,<br />
and Denver, Colo.<br />
Incidentally; I can probably help persons interested in REMPEL<br />
and BLUMER family lines.
