ZACHARIAH HASH, retired farmer; P.O. Chandlerville; was 
born in Green County, April 6, 1812, to Philip and Sarah 
(Nance) Hash. Philip Hash, our subject's father, was born 
in Virginia, Jan. 31, 1790; emigrated to Kentucky with his 
parents when a small boy; in 1822, he came to Illinois, and 
settled in Cass County; followed the occupation of a 
farmer, served in the war of 1812. He died in Missouri, 
Aug. 5, 1849. He was a son of Thomas Hash, a native of 
Virginia; born Feb. 13, 1756, and died in Missouri, Dec. 5, 
1848. Our subject's mother was born near Richmond, Va., 
Oct. 24, 1791, and died Feb. 24, 1847; she was a mother of 
fifteen children, of whom our subject was the second child; 
her father, Zachariah Nance, was born in Virginia, served 
through the Revolutionary war, under Washington. Our 
subject was brought to Illinois by his parents in 1822, and 
was educated principally in Sangamon, now Menard County. On 
June 26, 1834, he was married to Miss Mary Dick, a native 
of Kentucky; born Feb. 16, 1817, and died June 22, 1857; 
was the mother of seven children, of whom three are living, 
viz.: Phillip, Peter, and Martha, wife of John Plunkett. He 
first rented a farm in this county, on Sangamon Bottom; he 
has since been engaged in farming in this county, and is 
now living upon his farm, one mile southwest from 
Chandlerville, but has been retired from active labor for 
several years. His second marriage occurred in Mason 
County, April 3, 1862, to Mrs. Susan Shelton, formerly a 
Bowman; was born in Rutherford Co., Tenn., March 17, 1825; 
she is a daughter of Daniel Bowman, a native of Maryland, 
born March 11, 1799, and died Sept. 14, 1859. Mr. and Mrs. 
Hash have had two children, both dead. Mr. Hash is the 
owner of about 200 acres of land; our subject and wife are 
members of the Christian Church. He is a Democrat. Mr. Hash 
says he was often compelled to give up his house on account 
of the Indians, and at other times used to associate among 
them. He was always daring. Old Dr. Chandler, who first 
laid out Chandlerville, said he had doctored five 
generations of the Hash family.
