I may be wrong, but I believe you have the wrong Cash family.
In the 1870 Spartanburg Co. US Federal Census, there is a Henry CASH, born in abt 1844, married to "Ceany" (Lucenia?) with three children at home: William (8 y/o), Caroline (6 y/o), and Sallie (4 y/o). Catha Devine (62 y/o) is also a member of this Cash family. This Henry is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Spartanburg, along with his wife, Emma. He died on 13 Oct 1897.
As for Laura (nee Cash) Littlejohn, is it possible that she is instead the daughter of Henry T Cash? Henry T was born on 9 Jul 1848 and died 21 Oct 1940. He was a "wood workman" (see 1880 census) and was the son of Henderson and Regina (nee Taylor) Cash. Henry T CASH died at 92 y/o on 21 Oct 1940. The children I have for him are: Rufus, Ellen V, Laura, and John**. There is possibly another son, named Henderson CASH (1904-1936), but I can't find the source for this info. straight away.
**(I *think* that this is the same John as the John William CASH who married Nannie HAMRICK, parents of Joseph Wilbur ("W.J.") CASH.)**
Shifting gears now - there are two James Henry CASHs of the right time-period and in Spartanburg Co., SC, however. One is James Henry CASH (abt 1846-1919), married (1st) to Amanda, married in 1866 (2nd) to Mary. He had at least one daughter I'm sure of - Cora (nee Cash) Means. Other possible issue include: Susey, Maggie, Hattie, Margaret, Toney, and Johnny. I believe he had a grandson named Musel. This James Henry CASH is listed on census docs and on his death certificate as "Colored" and "Non-White." Whether this means African, Native American, or Mulatto heritage is unknown to me.
The other James Henry CASH was born in Feb 1855 (Spartanburg, SC) and died in Sep 1920 (Gaffney, SC). He is buried at the Daniel Morgan Cemetery in Cowpens, SC. Was married to Margaret Jane Jones in Jan 1877 (Greeneville, TN). Had twelve children, one of whom was my great-grandfather, Judd Lee Cash, born in 1902 in Spartanburg, SC.
Hope all this information is of some help to you! If I've left off any sources, please let me know and I'll post a reply here.
Yours,
Justin Cash
