The recent Ken Burns film noted JC had 4 children. However, only Roseanne Cash was spoke of. I believe there were/are four, all of whom moved to Ventura, CA after their parents divorce. Roseanne obviously had a music career, but what about the others? If their father had an estate, did they all share in it? Where are they now?

Just to remind people: as her last name indicates she’s Johnny’s step-daughter.

One other daughter had a little bit of a musical career: [Cindy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Cash). She was once married to Marty Stuart which goes a long ways to explain why he so prominently figured in a documentary oriented towards the Carter-Cash backbone of country music.
