Col. E.B. C. Cash and M'Kash

Does anyone know any history of Col. E.B.C. Cash who fought and won the last duel ever waged in the South? He is buried near Cheraw, S.C. He is likely no relation directly to my line out of Cherokee Co., S.C., but I would be interested to know any information.

Also, there is another variant on the name Cash which I've seen no other place than Washington Irving's essay contained in "The Sketchbook" (1819-1820), entitled "The Boar's Head Tavern, Eastcheap: A Shakespearian Research". Here, he refers to one Mr. M'Kash, an Irishman who owned a shop on the site of the Boar's Head, used by Shakespeare in "Henry IV" and "Merry Wives of Windsor" as the gathering place for Falstaff and young Prince Hal, later Henry V. It is believed Shakespeare counted himself a patron of the actual Boar's Head. I could swear that I read somewhere else in Irving that an earlier relative of this same M'Kash claimed to have served ale to the Bard but this of course may be apocryphal.
