Bio
From Holland St. John - "William was the son of the Reverend Jeremiah Cash and Sarah Ellen Jewell Cash and was born on March 23, 1822 at Wabash Township, Gibson County, Indiana. His father was a well known Baptist minister in southwestern Indiana in the early 1800s. On March 4, 1841 he married Emily Jones, the granddaughter of the Reverend Samuel Jones, another Baptist preacher and reputed to be the first minister to preach in Posey County, Indiana. Both the Cash and Jones families established farms in this part of Indiana around the time it became a state. By 1850 the U S Census reported that Wiliam's occupation was that of a "saw miller." Living at home was his wife Emily, and three of their children: Louisa (born in Wisconsin, age 8), Joseph Armstrong (born in Indiana, age 3) and Silas K. (also born in Indiana, 3 months old). By 1860 the family was now living in Black Township. William (35), Emily (38), Louisa (18), Joseph (13), Ellen (8), Margaret (5) and John C. (4/12) were living on the family farm. It appears that their son Silas had died the previous decade. By 1870 William was listed as a farmer and both Emily and William were listed as 48 years of age. Children living at home at this time were Joseph (23 and farming), Sarah Ellen (17), Margaret (14), John Charles (10) and William Traynor (3). William was still farming in Black Township, Posey County and next to other members of the Jones clan. Emily's parents had a farm located nearby as well as her brother John D. Jones and two of his children: Silas P. and Harriet (Jones) Thomas. Emily died October 18, 1875 in Posey County. William passed away on February 9, 1875 also in Black Township, Posey County. One source recorded that he died in California but no evidence was cited. It is not known in what cemetery William and Emily were laid to rest."
