The information on Malcolm I up to the time of William Cash of Scotlan d was found in a book with the personal belongings of Earl F. Downey o f Kansas City, Kansas. The name of the book is CASH. The book was co mpiled by Don Cash of San Diego, California. Begun 08 May 1973, amend ed 24 Jan 1976, and completed 10 Mar 1976. The Explanatory Note fromt he book is as follows:

The Dalridian Scots .. who were they? In very ancient times, Irelandw as called Scotia, and its people Scots. this probably began around 10 00 B.C. at the time when Irish oral history cites the coming from Egyp t (via Spain) of Scota, widow of Miles, or Milesius, and her sons. Th ey landed, says the honored legend, in Bantry Bay, and their ships car ried horses, chariots, and loyal followers. They conquered the barbar ian Firbolg, divided Eire between the sons, and the descendents of th e sons suplied Eire's Kings for many centuries.

You will note on your present day map of Ireland, in the south, a plac e called Cashal (no connection to our surname origin, merely Irish Gae lic for Castle). Cashal was the seat of the ancient Kings of Munster . some of its original ruins are still preserved. About 463 A.D., as on of one of these Kings, Cairbre Riada, led a group of followers nort h to escape famine. He was a popular and competent leader, as they na med themsleves in the Dal (gaelic for Clan) Riada. History from then on refers to them as the Dalriadian Scots.

Arriving in the north, a group of 150 decided to cross the Channel int o Alba (ancient Scotland) in 464 A.D. and colonize. The adventurers w ere headed by Fergus Mor, the 131 st Monarch of Ireland, who became fi rst King of these Dalridians who were to found what was to become Scot ia, and then Scotland.

With Fergus was his grandson, Conal Gabbrain (or Gabran) who in 538 wo uld be King of the Dalridian group. Scots chroniclers mention him as a direct lineal ancestor of Malcolm IV, who would be half-brother to o ur Cash Matriach in 1160. This translates to the fact that the ancien t Cash bloodline was actually a part of the migratory movement that fo unded Scotland.

12th Century Scotch chronicles refer to six Scottish Kings as "the see d of Ireland: Alexaner I (1107-1124); David I (1124-1153); William t he Lyon (1165-1214); Alexander II (1214-1249); and Alexander III (1249 -1286). As we trace the ancestry of these Scottish Kings, they lead u s into the dim corridors of oral history, back to Heremon, Eire's firs t King (son of Milesius) and beyond 1000 B.C.

We found preserved in a Paris museum, a manuscript of the Genealogy o f Malcolm IV and William, his brother, taking their bloodlines back th rough Fenius Fairsmith, a King of Scythia, c. 1300 B.C. thence back t o Gomer, and his father, Noah!. In Dublin, the irrepressible Irish g o a step further, taking Malcolm IV and William beyond Noah, through N oah's ancestors, Lamech, Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahaleel, Cainan, E nos, Seth and Adam! The archives of Ireland are rich in chronicle an d manuscript history, preserved from an earlier time than that of anyo ther country in Europe.

Beyond the earliest periods above mentioned in recorded and/or oral hi story, we come to a period which began roughly 30,000 years before Chr ist, which takes us into the Himalaya's where the white Celtic race wa s formed in approximately a ten thousand year entrapment by glacial ic e, and from which came Celts, Mediteranneans, and Nordics. As the gla ciers ebbed and the passes opened, these people came into the plains o f Iran and Afghanistan and into Egypt. As the milleniums passed, the y plodded their many torturous ways across the European continent.

Our path lies, roughly, in what appears on todays maps as Ladakh, amon g some of the worlds highest peaks, but within a hundred mile long val ley region fed by lakes with warm springs as their source, which nurtu red and sustained the primordial, animal and marine life of the region . The area, in Communist hands in the 1970s, has been long closed tof urther research.
