It is from the Crawfords in Cason Old Field ,NC. He is an uncle of mine. David Crawford is my GGGF and Clayton Crawford is my GGF. At least this is what my grandmother told me. Her grandmother talked about him.

Debbie,

From above: “When the regiment reorganized in the spring of 1862, Cash was either not reelected or resigned because he was not promoted. Cash remained in reserve or with the state militia in South Carolina for the remainder of the war. He was an outspoken opponent of Reconstruction, and ran against Wade Hampton for governor because he felt Hampton was too soft to represent the white population of the state.”

His militia regiment was the 2nd SC State Reserves, and he served in it 1862-1863. From the sound of it, I would guess he was probably not in good standing with the Confederate military, since he was a relatively young man.

By the way my husband owns the Navy colt Cash used in the War. He also owns the gun used durning the duel. I’m trying to find out what Cash was doing after he left the 8th. I mean was he still in good standing when he left the 8th?

His has has been torn down.
2 of the pictures you have posted came from me many years ago. I loaned them to someone who was writing a book. EBC Cash is far left and yes the William Bogan is far right it is his VMI picture. The Crawford part of his name came from his grandmother. Elizabeth Crawford Ellerbe wife of William Ellerbe. EBC Cash mother was the Daughter of the above. She married Boogan Cash. EBC Cash’s home was at Cashes Depot S.C.
