I am looking for any information on Cash family members, particularly James Monroe Cash, b. 1825-6, East TN. I believe he was born in Roane Co., as other family members of his generation and line also were. Need help finding a link. He married Sarah E. Hardeman and, after moving to Miller Co. MO and having been burned out of thier farm during the Civil War, they returned to Meigs Co. TN. There appears to be a link with the Gibson family Also. Would appreciate any help. It will take a couple of weeks(from 8-18-99)to get my email established at the above address. Thank You in advance, Chris Cash

Correction....

James Monroe CASH b. 1826 Roane/Rhea(later Meigs Coo. TN border was married to Sarah "Emiline" FORD, not Hardeman. She was a daughter of Edmond FORD Jr. They went to Cedar Co. MO by 1850, Miller Co. MO ca. 1854 and then back to Meigs Co. TN by 1860 where James "Monroe" CASH served in the Confederate 5th Tenn. Cavalry in the Civil War. By the 1878 they were in Warren Co. TN where Monroe and Emiline died in 1900, near Daylight, TN. The younger ones wenton to Fannin Co. Texas by 1880-1 and out into North West Texas. This was a traveling group! Allied names are: GIBSON, ROWDEN, RENFROW, FORD, McGILL/MAGILL, HARDIN, ALEXANDER, BLACKWELL, DUNCAN, POWERS, JONES among others.
