I asked about Ruff Cashion some time back.
I posted a query to my web site.

I apparently had the answer since September of last year
(duh!).
I just now got around to recognizing it.
Regards,
Charles.
Barbara Reed of Wharton Texas sent me this on 23 Sep 2002:
(Barbara credits Connie Jean of Lincoln Co TN)
John Wendell Cashion died in TN in 1877. The 1880 census
puts his widow in Texas. Other sources indicate that
Charlotte Jane Arnold Cashion came to Texas about 1878
with her children.
John Wendell (John W.) Cashion
was son of Archibald (b.1792), son of James III.
Charlotte and her children came to Texas along with her
daughter Melissa Jane Cashion Reed, her husband, John
Franklin Reed, their daughter, Clister Edna Reed, who was
born in TN on July 15, 1878. Charlotte Jane states on her
Civil War Widow's pension papers that she was in Alvarado by
1878. She died August 26, 1926, in Alvarado.
Also about your Ruff. I will attach a list of John Wendell
Cashion's children. There is a Rufus Lee Cashion, b. 1863.
I have no other info on him. He was b. in Lincoln Co.,
TN..all their kids were b. Lincoln Co TN The Russell A.
and the baby b. 1865 were twins--that is the line of Arthur
"Art" Cashion I sent you.
