PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT CONFUSE MARY CASH LIVELY WITH MARY ANN CASH HIGGINBOTHAM
Robert Howard Cash had two daughters with similar names, who are often confused with one another. His 1772 will mentions a married daughter, Mary Lively, and an unmarried, underage daughter, MaryAnn.
The following excerpt proves that MaryAnn is unmarried and underage (and should not be confused with her older sister Mary):
"Item. My will is that after the decease of myself and my wife, the increase of Sall if any may be equally divided between my daughters, MARY ANN and RUTH, and if either of said daughters should depart this life UNMARRIED or before they arrive to LAWFUL AGE, the survivor of them should possess the issue of the negro woman."
