Hi! I'm new to the list and am wondering if anybody has any information about: Thomas Wilson Ashby (b.1809 Garrett Co MD, d.1896) married Ellen Jane DeWitt. Children: Parker, Thomas, William, Ester, Hanner(?), Mary and Eusebius Winfield Ashby (b.1859, d.1935) around the VA,MD, WV area, married Sarah Rebecca Strawser (b.1874, d.1947). Children: Alice A. Dumar, Viola Marie A. DeWitt, James Winfield A., Nancy May A. Titchnell, Gilbert Webster A., Raymond Benton A., and Junior Wade Ashby (b. 1909 Underwood, MD; d. 1991 Albany, NY) married Bertha Gladys Park(s) (b.1917 Lanceridge, WV). Thomas Wilson A., is son of William Williams A., William Wilton A., Thomas A. II(Jr), Thomas A. I (Sr) of which I have their lineage back to the 1200's. It's the more recent ones I'm having trouble finding information about. I'm new to this type of research. Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated. Would also appreciate any info on Sarah Rebecca Strawser, parents: Levi L. Strawser and Sevilla >other children Lewis S., Frank S., & Rena. Thank you very much! Deb A.

Andrea, Thanks for telling us about this. And yes, I do consider it a genealogy subject. It's the heritage of the Ashby's of VA. I was under the impression that, a residence that has been placed on the National Register had a certain amount of acreage around it that could not be tampered with, also. Am I wrong? If so, and if this tower is going to interfere with the historical ambience of the home, I would think that the law could be called into effect for this. Maybe some out there with some expertise could tell us.

Dear Friends on the Ashby List, This posting has little to do with our shared fascination with Ashby genealogy, but it deals with a major challenge to the Family, so I thought that this would be an appropriate forum to inform as many Ashbys as possible about it, and to ask your help. As you may know, the birthplace and longtime home of Brigadier General Turner Ashby, CSA, is a beautiful old house located in Markham, Virginia. Rosebank was a place the general loved very much--in fact, when his family lost Rosebank, in 1853, he moved to a nearby house and cut a new window in its wall so that he could still look out and see his boyhood home. But today Rosebank is endangered. The owner has contracted with a company that builds cell-phone telecommunications towers, and together they are trying to obtain zoning-board permission to build a 180 foot tall telecom tower on five of Rosebank's eleven acres. The tower, which resembles a Soviet missile silo, is not just a monopole, which would be horrible enough. Instead, it is to have far larger footprint, perhaps sixty-five feet in diameter, perhaps more. This monster will absolutely dwarf charming little Rosebank. This is, you will agree, a disaster for history and for the heritage of Virginia. Without getting into a political discussion about development in rural areas, I cannot believe that there aren't other sites where this tower could be placed. Surely there is no need to build it on an historic site of great beauty and meaning. Turner Ashby is one of the most famous and well-loved members of this great family. He was a perfect model of gentleness, chivalry, and integrity, a cavalier of truly sterling courage. He gave his life for Virginia, and his memory deserves honor, not this disgrace. In addition to the atrocity at Rosebank, the same tower construction company, SBA Inc., proposes to build another tower quite near the former Ashby lands in Delaplane, Virginia. This will be within a stone's throw of Yew Hill, the famous home of Robert Ashby, where George Washington really slept on several occasions. If you are moved to outrage by the staggering avarice of people who would desecrate historic sites in this way, you may convey your feelings to those who have some influence over the choice of sites. You may address: Fauquier County Department of Community Development Planning Commission 40 Culpeper Street Warrenton, Virginia 20186 I do not believe that phone calls to the Planning Commission would be useful, but the fax number is 540.341.3444. Those of us who live close to Warrenton are fighting this battle in person, by attending meetings of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission, and speaking out in public. But we could use the help of Ashbys all over the US who claim Virginia as the home of our hearts and claim Turner Ashby as our kin, however distant. Thank you in advance. --Andrea Kent

Hi all, I am new to this list and thought I would post my interests, I am looking for information on a Thomas ASHBEE/ASHBY, born Herne,Kent,England1790. Married Elizabeth ADDLEY in England. Emigrated to Lansingburgh, Rensseler County, NY around 1852, had children Louisa, Clara, Albert, Edwin, and Faith. If any one is researching this line, or has run into them during their research. I would love to hear. Thank you Linda Anderson

Hi all, I am new to this list, and was wondering if any one out there is researching the name Ashby/Ashbee, I have William ASHBEE born in Herne, Kent, England 1796, married Mary Ann Wrake (first marriage) emigrated to New Jersey about 1832/1833 where he married Julia SPENCER, they had 6 children- George, William, John, Lyman, Amelia all seem to have been born in the Newark area. If any one else is researching this family or if in their research have ran in to any Ashby/Ashbee's in the New Jersey area I would love to hear about it. Thanks in advance Linda Anderson Chesapeake. VA

Hi Julia, Well, I've not seen that either. I do know and can prove that Thomas' son Robert was married to Mary Farrow/Farrar. Maybe that is where they are getting confused.. There was a Robert married to an Elizabeth Holloway, also. But, I think it was one of the other Robert's Thanks for the heads up. I've been ill and then so busy trying to play catch up, that I've had no time to post anything. Will get back to it soon. (hope, Hope) Thanks, again, Sue Ashby Julia Johnson wrote: > > Hey, I see a message on genforum with Rose's last name as Farrow.
