Individual Details

Father of Howard Cash believed to be William Cash, possibly born in Scotland, died about 1708 in Westmoreland Co VA. His wife was Elizabeth, surname unproved, although it often appears as "Skinner".

There is a British tax record of 1677, that lists William Cash as seated in Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co.

A deed from Charles County, Marland, Liber 4, p.432, plainly names a very different wife for William Cash who had apparently died sometime after 1692. [FHL film #007737871, frame #674]
