George, I have no known connection to the Cash family, but I have distant relatives with the surname "Harris" who had large land holdings in an around Jonesboro, Ga.

A Yank Artillery unit set three of their field pieces on a knoll near the home of the Harris family. In my files I have a short eyewitness account of the battle from a young lad that watched from a hidden spot (not indicated) and recalled that he saw bodies of both Yanks and Rebels. The writer of the family history which contained this account which was sad to read ended with the comment: "there is nothing presently left of the property except the family grave yard, and it overgrown and none of the memorial markers are standing"

This particular Harris family had migrated from England to the Virginia Colony in the mid 1500 and over the next 500 years worked themselves into the Georgia area. This family contained many veterans of the American Revolution, some veterans of the War of 1812 and many veterans of the Civil War as well as prominent educators, jurists, politicians, etc.

So sad that they were so many losses on both sides of the Civil War.
