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

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

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

NOTE I It might appear to some that there should be two men names
Joseph Cash, father and son, instead of only one, since if
only one man sired all these children he would have been about
68 at the birth of the last child, Elizabeth. Despite this,
the evidence is clear that there was only one, When George
Mason deeded the land to Joseph Cash in 1733 he· named as the
wife Susannah and daughter Ann, In his Will of 1779, Joseph
referred to Ann as "my daughter Ann Hall," When Joseph's land
was surveyed in 1779, Joseph Cash Hall was named as chain
carrier on the survey party and Joseph Cash Hall was also
granted land on the same date as Joseph Cash, Sr, and Jr., indicating
he was over 21 at that time, In every case, his signature
on legal documents was Joseph Cash Hall, clearly establishing
his relationship to Joseph Cash, Sr. Ann Cash Hall
named a daughter Susannah, establishing in all probability that
her mother's name was Susannah and Joseph Cash Hall named his
eldest daughter Ann, named probably for his mother, Ann Cash
Hall. In the 1786 North Carolina State Census, Joseph Cash
Hall is shown to have 5 sons and 3 daughters, further establishing
his likely birth date as ca 1752, In their Revolutionary
War Pension Applications, borth Peter and James, the sons

THE CASH FAMILY (Con't page 4)

of Joseph Sr" give as their place of birth Fairfax County,
Virginia, and that they moved from there to Granville County,
North Carolina in 1774, further supporting the evidence that
the Joseph married to Susannah in Fairfax County, Va" and
the Joseph married to Elizabeth in Granville County, North
Carolina, were the same man,
III, PETER CASH, the son'of Joseph, Sr" and Elizabeth Cash
was born 1 January 1756 in Turo Parish, Fairfax County, Virginia,
He moved to Granville County, North Carolina with his parents in
1774, He was married to Sarah, thought to be a member of the
Anderson Smith family, ca 1780, He served three 3 month tours
of duty in the North Carolina Militia 1780-81, during the Revolutionary
War, for which he was granted a pension of $30,00 per
year, 28 November 1832, After the War ended, he began to buy a
great amount of land in Granville County, mostly in Dutch District
along Cedar Creek, Existing records indicate that he did
not accumulate this land for farming, but rather did so as a
business, as in each case he retained the property for only a
short time and then sold at a considerable profit, By 1825 he
had sold all but 73 acres, which he retained until his death, He
died in Granville County in 1846 at the age of 90 and left a most
peculiar WILL in which he left his estate to "my friend Elijah
Hester, to be used for the benefit of my daughter Lucretia and my
daughter-in-law Lucretia, wife of my son Peter, and after their
death, to the heirs of their body," The WILL would seem to indicate
that of all his children only Peter and Lucretia survived
him, His children were,

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

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

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