OK Cash researchers, time to get you thinking caps out and lets do some head
scratching. I am looking for information on John Meritt Cash. b. abt. 1810
in GA. Married Rebecca C.Wall. She was b. abt. 1812. They lived and were
possibly some of the earliest settlers in Northeastern AR, what is now
St.Joe, Searcy Co. AR. From info I found in a book on that area they
settled in and around Calf Creek and Richland. Calf Creek later became the
town of Snowball. I found tax records which in 1858 showed a J.M. Cash with
two slaves valued at $1400. I found info on a William Fonzo Cash b. 1877,
son of Jim Cash and Hattie Powhatten Wyatt. So having said all this, could
it be that Jim and John Meritt are brothers. Reason I ask that is because
one of Williams brothers, was named John. Families for some reason tend to
keep certain names going in family lines, brothers a lot of the time named
their children after siblings.. Pleas help. I am stuck until I can find or
get more on John Meritt and Rebecca C. Wall.
