Isham Cash, the son of William and Lucy Lanier Cash, was born in Dutch District
(Dutchville), Granville County, North Carolina, 1814. He was married in Granville County,
21 August 1835 to Nancy Haley, the daughter of John Henry and Frances Adeline Haley. He
lived and worked with his father, in Granville County until 1845, at which time, probably
upon the death of his father, moved to Henry County, Tennessee, near his uncle Elijah,
where he remained until the early part of 1851. It is believed that his brothers Dennis
and Moses, accompanied him to Henry County, but continued on to Hot Spring County in 1851
was probably prompted by the illness of Dennis, who died ca 1854. He remained in Hot
Spring County until 4 October 1858, at which time he purchased 160 acres near
DeGray,
Clark County, Arkansas adjoining the land farmed by his cousin, James Cash, Jr. (the
grand-son of Joseph, Jr., the brother of Isham's grand-father Peter, Sr.) Isham and his
family continued to live near DeGray until 23 December 1864, at which time he purchased
several hundred acres, 2 miles North East of Antoine in Clark County, and moved there
shortly after. Nancy Haley Cash died in 1881/82 and in 1883 he deeded all but 160 acres to
his son John Henry Cash, and was married 28 August 1883 to Christian Morrison. He died at
his home near Antoine, 22 March 1885.
Francis Adaline Cash, a daughter of Isham and Nancy Haley Cash was born in 1841
in Granville County North Carolina. She came to Arkansas with her famly about 1851. She
married James Jasper Pierce 30 August 1861 in Clark County Arkansa. They lived in the
Degray community near Arkadelphia, Clark County Arkansas until 1867 (she moved her

Arkansas. Nancy Cash, Adalines mother was on an 1860 and an 1865 membership list of
this church.) when they moved to the Clear Springs Community. This is where they were
