Is anyone researching this family?
Richard Cash born about 1828 in KY, married Rachel
Spinks, born about 1833 in KY. On 1850 Muhlenberg Co.
KY census they have two sons, John and Samuel (our
line). By 1860, they are in Williamson Co. IL, near
Marion, with children John, Samuel, William Carroll,
Reason E., Gillas, Sally Ann. Children born after
this and on future census were Nola, Arrie, Prior and
Mary.
There was apparently an altercation with a family
named Stanley. Sam Cash killed a Stanley over an
election dispute, then fled to Texas. The Stanleys
then ambushed and killed Sam's younger brother Gillas.
I know there is a newspaper article somewhere about
this (I have been told). I believe this was somewhere
in the area of 1880 give or take. If anyone has any
information on this, please contact me.
If anyone has any information on Richard and Rachel or
their ancestors, OR Sam Cash, please contact me.
