Without the diligent, extensive information collecting and record preparation of Vivian Cash Miller (Hillsboro, Illinois), our information would not have been put together as it is now. The recorded items would have been there, documentation would have been found (eventually). But - it could have taken years and the rich, family history would not have been uncovered. It is to Mrs. Miller (daughter of Edward and Bessie Curry Cash) and her late husband (as well as to numerous family members, many mentioned in her records) that many Cash descendants can be grateful. Thank you, Vivian -- family history might very possibly have been lost forever without your dedication!

The CASH Family . . . . . from Vivian Cash Miller
The first known CASH in America was a William Cash from Scotland, a mariner who settled in Salem, Massachusetts about 1645. On one of his return voyages from England/Scotland on his brigantine "The Good Intent", he brought with him a favorite nephew, son of his brother, who was also named William Cash, born in Scotland circa 1653. At his uncle's urging, this younger Wiliam Cash went down into Virginia, settling in Westmoreland County about 1673. This is the William Cash we are descended from.
WILLIAM CASH, the nephew (aka The Immigrant), came to Tidewater, Virginia about 1673 and was the first CASH to settle in that colony.
Along with all our CASH relatives, there is one who is known throughout the country music industry -- JOHNNY CASH, the "Man in Black". His relationship to our line was told in his autobiography, "The Man in Black", published in 1975. He is descended from William Cash, the Scottish Immigrant, just as we are. William came to Westmoreland Co, Virginia circa 1673. He also lived in Amherst and Bedford Counties in Virginia for 100 years. A descendant, Moses Cash, moved to Henry County, Virginia in 1810 and was one of the first settlers there. The old Cash homestead was still seen there in 1995, although it was in ruins. REUBEN CASH was the son of Moses Cash. Following the burning of Atlanta and the pillage and sacking of the plantations in that area, Reuben put his family in an ox-drawn wagon and in 1866 homesteaded in Arkansas. Reuben and his wife had a good size family, but only one son, WILLIAM HENRY CASH became a Baptist minister and married Rebecca. He was named for William Cash and Henry Co., Virginia. William and Rebecca were parents of 12 children. Their youngest son, RAY CASH, was the father of Johnny. Other siblings were Reba, and Jack. In interviews, Johnny tells that his family were share-croppers and he spent much of his early life near Dyess, Arkansas. He picked cotton along with the rest of them. ___________________________________________________
The following may have been the children or grandchildren of William: http://library.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/fo...790.nfo/query=Cash/doc/{@@1}/hits_ only Virginia 1790 Federal Census P. 47 - John Cash; White: 2 P. 49 - Joseph Cash; White: 1 P. 49 - Tabitha Cash; White: 7, Black: 1 P. 49 - Bartlett Cash; White: 2 P. 49 - Stephen Cash; White: 7 P. 49 - Howard Cash; White: 6 P. 49 - Ruth Cash; White: 6, Black: 12 P. 49 - Tamson Cash; White: 6, Black: 5 P. 85 - William Cash; White: 8, Black: 1, Misc: 2
In the records of Westmoreland Co., VA (May 30 1694), William Cash was sworn as a grand juror. On this date he owned a large landed estate and therefore probably arrived in that place some years before. His plantation was situated in Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co.; but when King George County was formed from part of Westmoreland in 1720, approximately half of this land fell into each county.
It is believed that Elizabeth Skinner was William's second wife, his first wife having died. Elizabeth was believed to have been the daughter of William's friend and neighbor, John Skinner, a Quaker. His will was probated on Aug 25, 1708 in Westmore Co., VA and his children (William, Anish aka Nancy, Thomas, John, James, Howard, Joseph and Peter) were named in his will. (Information found in: Virginia Wills and Administrators - Parmly Billings Library, Billings, MT.) (NOTE: John Skinner and Peter Skinner were both listed in the Will of William Cash, Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Westmoreland, VA, Deeds and Wills, Book 4, Pg 141.)
CASH, WILLIAM, 16 February 1707; 25 August 1708. Home plantation to wife Elizabeth and she to be exx; sons William and Thomas 100 acres of land each; sons John, 124 acres of land and if they die without issue to Howard, Joseph and Peter; William 29 years old 4 March 1708; Thomas 11 years old 2 August 1708; daughter Anish Cash 15 years old 31 July 1708; personal property to wife.

August, 1999: Much of the information on William Cash, Ada (our Cash Matriarch) and Duncan (her husband) can be found in a book called CASH written by Don Cash. He did an excellent job and obviously spent numerous hours doing his research, including a visit to Scotland, where it was found that many of the records no longer exist.
Genealogy constantly uncovers new information. (1) There has been later information found that the line of the Earl of Fifes ended in the 1300s with a childless union from the family of Duncan and Ada and the Earldom was granted to another line. The information does confirm what we have found in other publications; but does not confirm or deny William Cash (both William Cashes) being born in Fife, Strathmiglo, Scotland. This information was found at the Clan MacDuff site and at the very least, indicates that more extensive research needs to be done. (2) Many of the records in Scotland during the time of the two William CASHes are not complete. My own family, however, does subscribe to the theory that William, the Immigrant is the nephew of William, the Mariner and I welcome any input/information from other sources that may prove or disprove whatever is found here. ___________________________________________

ANALYSIS of CHIEF/REPRESENTER of CLAN MACDUFF Compiled by Ted R. McDuffee Former Convener: Clan MacDuff Society of America, Inc.
ANCIENT HOUSE - Fife Region:
1058 - KING MALCOM CANMORE won the crown and as much of Southern Scotland as he had been able to conquer.
?? - ETHELRED (AEDH) said son of King Malcolm Canmore is the first "recorded" Earl of Fife. *Note [From several references I feel this Ethelred was not a son of Malcolm but, was the son of DUFF/MACDUFF and named in honor of Malcolm and for meritorious service was honored with the title of Earl of Fife in 1057. (TRMcD)] First Earl of Fife.
1115 - DUFFAGAN: References indicate a son of Ethelred was named Duffagan, who was MacDuff. Duffagan was witness to a charter at Scone in the year 1115. Date of death ca. 1120-1124. Second Earl of Fife.
1124? - CONSTANTINE (MacDuff) Earl of Fife in the early days of David's reign (1124-1153). *NOTE [The dates given I believe to be incorrect, records indicate Constantine died in the year 1129. (TRMcD)] Third Earl of Fife.
1129 - GILLIMICHAEL Mak-duf, Earl of Fife. Gillimichael MacDuff was a younger brother of Constantine who was witness to charter of Holyrood in 1123, also, a charter of Dumfermline, he died in 1139. He was succeeded by his eldest son Duncan. Fourth Earl of Fife.
1139 - DUNCAN, died in 1154. Duncan assisted in 1153 at the coronation of King Malcolm IV, to whom he had been a tutor. Frequently employed as a witness by David I. and Malcolm IV. Fifth Earl of Fife.
1154 - DUNCAN, eldest son of Duncan, m. Ada, daughter or niece of Malcolm IV. Justiciary of Scotland in the reign of William the Lion. One of the peers who treated for William the Lion's ransom. Ada's tocher (dowry) included lands of Strathmiglo, Falkland, Kettle, Rathdillet in Fife, and Strathbran in Perthshire. Founded the Nunnery of North Berwick. He died in 1203 leaving three sons: Malcolm, Duncan and David. Sixth Earl of Fife.
1203 - MALCOLM founded the Abby of Culross in 1217, and made a donation to the episcopate of Moray to which his brothers, Duncan and David, were witnesses. He married Matilda, daughter of Gilber, Earl of Strathearn. He died childless in 1229 and was buried in St. Servan's Church, Culross. Seventh Earl of Fife.
1229 - MALCOLM, nephew of Seventh Earl of Fife, Malcolm. He married Helen, daughter of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales. Appointed to the regency in 1255 by Henry III of England. He died in 1266. Eighth Earl of Fife.
1266 - COLBAN died in 1270. His younger brother, MacDuff, died fighting under the standard of Wallace at the battle of Falkirk, July 22, 1298. Ninth Earl of Fife.
1270 - DUNCAN born 1263, was a ward of Alexander, Prince of Scotland, son of Alexander III. He was admitted to possession of his earldom in 1284. Married Johanna de Clare, daughter of the Earl of Gloucester. He was murdered at Petpollock, Sept. 25, 1288, by Sir Patrick Abernethy and Sir Walter Percy. Tenth Earl of Fife.
1288 - DUNCAN, born in 1285, was only three when his father was killed. Reared at the English Court. Married in 1306 Mary de Monthermer, granddaughter of Edward I. Received from Bruce the Charters of the Earldom of Fife and the baronies of O'Niel in Aberdeenshire, Kinmoul in Perthshire, and Calder in Midlothian. Died in the battle of Hallidown Hill. 1333. Eleventh Earl of Fife.
1333 - DUNCAN, eldest son of Duncan. There is some controversy about this Duncan as one source states that the above listed 11th Earl of Fife was not killed at Hallidown Hill, but survived until 1353. From references I feel this was the twelfth Earl of Fife. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Durham and tried for treason. He was pardoned due to his relationship on his mother's side to Edward III. He died without male issue in 1353, but had a daughter, Isabel who succeeded his estates. Isabel MacDuff, married four times, died without issue and conveyed the title of the earldom and property to her brother-in-law, Robert, Earl of Menteith, afterwards Duke of Albany, by her second husband, the third son of King Robert II (Stewart). Duncan was the twelfth Earl of Fife and at his death the male line of the MacDuff Celtic Earls of Fife came to an end.
1425 - ROBERT, Duke of Albany, and his son Murdoch were tried for treachery and found guilty. They were executed in 1425 and the title of Earl of Fife reverted to the Crown. Earldom of Fife became extinct.
1425 - WEMYSS became Chief of Scotland's senior Clan, although it never reverted to the patronymic of MacDuff.
A letter, dated 19th August 1982, from Lord Lyon, states that the Earldom of Fife was annexed to the Crown by Act of Parliament on 4 August 1455.
