Hello All,
I'm home from my trip to KY. Found the following article at the Graves Co.
KY library. It is from History & Families of Weakley Co. TN (1823-1998).
Copyright 1999, Turner Publishing Co., Paducah KY. (270) 443-0121.
There is a photo of Willie, Herschel, Herman and Ivie Cashon. I can send to
anyone at their personal address. Also, I'm going to contact the person that
submitted the article. Ivie married a second time to Cayce Pounds and I'm
not sure that this person knows that. Years ago we would visit Ivie and her
son, Billie Pounds in Fulton KY. Anyone out there with connection to this
line?
I've also made some other contacts to help with this line. Seems I have four
Cashon lines that cross, but I think they all descend from David. More
later...
