Message Board Post:
We are looking for any information on and relatives of the Cashion family that lived in
Blount or Knox counties starting in the 1820s. The census records show various spellings:
Cashen/Cashon/Cashin.
We believe that Jesse (Joel?) and Frances (Bradley) Cashion moved to Blount county about
1825. They were married in Chesterfield Co., VA in 1819.
It appears that Jesse and Frances had at least four children: Richard J., Edward S.,
William, and Lydia A.
Richard married Amanda Young in 1844 and Isabella McCully in 1848 in Blount County. He
moved to Fannin County, Texas in the early 1850s.
Edward married Catherine Debusk in 1843 in Knox County. It appears he died before 1850.
William married Nancy ? sometime before 1843, probably in Blount County.
Lydia married William Timmons in 1856 in Blount County.
We have a very good record of Richard's descendants in Texas and have found some
information on the descendants of the children who stayed in Tennessee. We are especially
interested in contacting any descendants of Edward, William and Lydia.
Mike and Jennifer McBride
