Thomas Gash was educated and married in his native State, where in early life he learned the carpenter's trade, and followed the same, in connection with farming, all his life. He and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The death of Mrs. Eliza Gash occurred March 6, 1835, and that of Mr. Gash October 5, 1840. Samuel G. Gash, the subject, received a fair common school education. After his father's death, he made his home with his uncle, David R. Wilson, until he attained to his majority, with whom, during that time, he learned the blacksmith's trade. After leaving his uncle, he was employed as a laborer on a farm some four years. He then farmed on shares in Kentucky for one year, after which, in the fall of 1853, he came with his wife and family to Adams Township, Morgan Co., Ind., where he bought a partially improved farm of forty acres. In 1846, he enlisted for service in the war with Mexico, but was never en- gaged in active service. He was married, August 7, 1852, to Miss Margaret S. Reid, a native of Jefferson County, Ky., and a daughter of John and Esther (Gilliland) Reid, who were among the early pioneers of Jefferson County, Ky. One son has blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. Gash, viz., John T. Mr. Gash was at one time Adjutant in the Kentucky militia, and for a time carried the mail from Eminence to Quincy.
