Vickie:I don't have your answer, but I will try and give you some information on the Cash family in this area, most of the research being done by a Cash descendant for the Granville County, NC heritage book. Supposedly, William Cash, the emigrant was born in Scotland and came to Westmoreland Co. VA. His son, Joseph Cash, was in King George Co. in 1733, and in 1774 he and his family moved to the Dutch District of Granville Co., on Picture Creek. One of his sons was Peter Cash and another Joseph Cash, Jr. They owned land on Picture Creek, Cedar creek (the small Cedar Creek in southwestern Granville Co.) and a very short distance to where John Cash was on Cubb Creek in 1784. The Masons supposedly moved to the area about the same time. Cubb Creek begins in what is now Person Co. just above the current Durham county line and flows north and into Granville Co., meeting with about 5 other branches of Cubb Creek and flow into the Tar River in southwestern Granville Co. The Blalocks were on Little and Camp Creek(just south of where Cubb Creek begins)for several years prior to buying land on Cubb Creek. Also on Cubb Creek in 1784 was Thomas Mason.His brother, William Mason was just east of there in what was then Franklin co. and had a daughter named Elizabeth Mason listed in his will. One of the earlier Blalock researchers state Millington Blalock (of Person Co.) was married to Eliza (Elizabeth) Mason. I have seen no proof of that, but don't necessarily doubt it. The Oakleys were numerous in this area also.
Two of Millington Blalock's daughters married Cashes. William, born 1/20/1769 (Bible records as recorded by Burch Blalock, deceased Register of Deeds in Caswell Co.) married Mary Cash 9/30/1795 in Person Co. Descendants have their children as Squire Blalock who married an Aldridge and moved out of state, Betsy Blalock, Sarah Blalock who marrieda Johnson, Millington Blalock (he was listed as an orphan after William died in 1818), William Green Blalock who married Angeline Lunsford in 1835 (I know the Lunsford history as my Blalock husband's mother was a Lunsford and I have done that genealogy of Person Co.), Elener who married a Hawkins, and Jesse Blalock who married Roseanna Lea and Elizabeth Hudson and died in Hardeman Co. TN.Mary Cash, wife of William, mother and wife of John Cash Sr. was Lucretia Sherman, as listed in her father John Sherman's will in 1784. When William Blalock died in 1818,an entry states "administration of estate of William Blalock deceased listed 32 acres in the division of Peter Aldridge."
Millington Blalock's son John, born 1/4/1775 married Catherine "Katy" Cash on 11/19/1794 and some of his children are listed by the Mr. Ernst as Green Blalock, born in 1795 and married to Nancy Blalock, Elizabeth Blalock married to Thompson Baker on 10/7/1813, William Blalock born 1798 and supposedly died in KY or TN and married Sally Hargis on 1/11/1817. (This is likely the William Blalock who in Bledsoe Co., TN in 1832 stated his wife left him in 1828 and left him with six small children and moved to Roanne Co., TN). Green and Nancy were listed on several records of Flat River Church in the early 1800's and in 1842, a list of the church roll says, "Nancy, widow of Green Blalock." The rest of the children of John are not named by the Blalock historian, but others have listed children, and I believe at least two researchers have stated Catherine was living with one of the children in another state.
John Cash, Jr. born about 1771, married "Sucky" (Susannah) Blalock daughter of Millington, Sucky being born May 2, 1777 (these are Bible records as recorded by Mr. Burch Blaylock), 9/30/1795 and I have seen no records on this family, but John Cash Jr. was in Person co. for a time and in fact, there is an old cabin still standing from the early 1800's said to be the old John Cash homestead (I am not saying it was this John Cash, Jr.) about 3/10 of a mile east of my home and not too far from where Millington Blalock Jr. lived in Granville Co.
Millington Blalock, Jr. died in 1837, was married to a Philpott, and his children are listed in his will, John P. Blalock who married Elizabeth Boswell and moved to TN and later West, Nancy Blalock Hobgood, Thomas Blalock who married a Sherman, Lucretia (Luetta) who married a Boswell and second a Latta, Sarah Blalock who married a Washington, Emily (who was called Milley) who married Edward Boswell and lived in Henderson Co., TN, and William H. born 11/23/1801 who married Lucy Halliburton and moved to TN and whom Millington, Jr. stated in his will was dead and listed William's children "who also live in TN" as Robert, William, Millington and Etna.He was also listed with children as Robert, Alexander and Solomon but they are not listed in Millington Jr.'s will, and Robert and Alexander may have died young.I doubt that Solomon was his son and could have been the son of another of the Blalock's.Millington had a sister Martha Blalock Phillpott (she married the elder William Philpott late in life) and Millington Jr. stated in his will in 1837 that she was deceased, that his father Millington Sr. also deceased, and he made provisions for Martha's daughter, Milley Philpott, in his will. Lucretia Blalock born 8/4/1820 was listed as a minor when her father, Millington, Jr. made out his will.
