I am looking for the parents of Thomas Ashby who was married to Rose of Va. (d. 1752 in Va.) In the past he has been confused with the Thomas of SC. Could he have been the immigrant? ann

Here is an extraction of the will of Thomas Ashby, Sr. Following the will is some other data concerning the Ashby's Enjoy - Sue Ashby In the name of God, Amen. I, Thomas Ashby of Frederick County., in the Colony of Virginia, being very sick and weak of body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be to Almighty God, and calling to mind the uncertainty of this life, do make here my last will and testament in the following manner and form, revoking all former and other wills heretofore by me made, and this only to be taken for my last will and testament. Imprimis I resign my soul into the hands of the almighty and most merciful God, trusting in and by the merits of his son my ever blessed Saviour, Jesus Christ, that it shall together with my body be raised, remitted and glorified, and as to my body I desire it may have a Christian burial, and for such temporal estate herewith it hath pleased my good God to bless me with I give and dispose of in the following manner, viz: Item: I give unto my sons Thomas Ashby one shilling sterling to have no other part of my estate whatsoever. Secondly, I give and bequeath unto my son Benjamin Ashby all that tract or parcel of land as Goose creek whereon Enoch Berry now lives, to him my said son and his heirs forever. Thirdly, I give and bequeath unto my son Henry Ashby all that tract or parcel of land whereon he now lives which was laid off and apart by James Guin, deceased, from my other land unto my said son and his heirs forever, but if the said son should die without issue the said land to fall to my son Stephen and his heirs forever. Fourthly, I give and bequeath unto my son Stephen Ashby after his mother's death all this tract or part of land whereon I now live and which was also laid off and divided by the said Guin as aforesaid, to him my said son and his heirs forever, but if my said son Stephen should die without issue that then the said lot or tract of land is to fall to my son Henry Ashby and his heirs forever. Fifthly, I give unto my daughter Elizabeth Harden, one shilling sterling, and that she have no other part of my estate. Sixthly, I give unto my daughter Sarah Ashby one shilling sterling. Seventhly, I give unto my daughter Rose Ashby one shilling sterling. Eighthly, I give unto my daughter Ann Ashby one shilling sterling. Ninthly, I give and bequeath unto my cousin Ruben Berry one cow and calf to be delivered to him at the age of twenty-one. Thethly, I give unto my cousin Ann Berry one cow and calf to be delivered to her at the age of eighteen or on the day of marriage. Eleventhly, It is my desire that if the land whereon John Hardin now lives and for which I have a mortgage on now if the ----- should be projected that one of my executors, namely, my son Robert Ashby, shall sell the same and pay unto my daughters Sarah and Rose five pounds to each of them and the remainder to be equally divided between my loving wife, Rose Ashby, my son Stephen and my daughter Ann Ashby, and in case the money be paid according to the tenor thereof that then my son Robert shall divided and pay the same as I gave that in case the land was sold. Twelfthly, I give and bequeath to my loving wife, Rose Ashby, my horse I bought of John Ashby, also two mares and colt to be at her own disposal and as for the rest of my movable estate to have the same during her widowhood, but if she should marry that then she is to have no more than a third part of such movable estate and then the remainder to be equally divided by my executors between my son Stephen and my daughter Ann Ashby. Lastly, I nominate and appoint my dutiful and loving sons Robt. John and Henry Executors of this my last will and testament. An in testimony that this is my last will and testament I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 10th day of April, one thousand seven hundred and fifty-two-1752 Thomas X (his mark) Ashby {sea;} Signed, sealed and acknowledged before and in the presence of us James Catlett Francis C (his mark) Howell Peter Wolf. At Winchester VA. there are records of deeds made by Thomas Ashby Jr. One is a gift of 500 acres ot land in Fred. Co. to his brother John. , dated Mar 6, 1744. Also one in 1746, and 1759 to John. Thomas Ashby and his wife Betty Ashby of Hamilton Parish, Prince William Co., sold to Joseph Berry of Hanover Parish, Prince George Co., a tract of 308 acres patented Dec. 18, 1747 and again on June 3, 1760 Thomas and Elizabeth Ashby of Prince William Co., sold to Thomas Cooper of Frederick Co. 200 acres granted by patent on Dec. 3, 1734 to Jost Hite and by Hite conveyed to said Ashby by Lease & Release, recorded at Orange. This is from Deed Books, I, IV and V at Winchester, VA. Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., VA. Thomas Ashby married Mary McCullough in 1751.They had a son Hankisson/Hankerson b. in 1757, recorded in Overwharton Parish. Tradition says that Thomas and Mary moved to Bladensburg, near Harpers Ferry and that Bladen Ashby was b., 1759, Silas, 1765 and Thompson, no known birth date, were their sons. This is seemed to be supported by the Hankisson Ashby who left land, in KY to a Bladen, Thompson and Silas Ashby. This Thomas, married to Elizabeth is the right age to be a grandson of Thomas Sr., according to Ida Reid Ashby in her book "Ashbys, Reids and Allied Families". A Note: Stafford County originally included all the land between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and from King George Co. to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Prince William Co., was created from it in 1730, Fairfax Co., in 1742 and Fauquier and Loudoun was created in 1759. MY OWN PERSONAL NOTE: I'm sure the naming of the Berry "cousins" in the will of Thomas Sr. is the basis for the assumption that his wife, Rose was a Berry. But, it is only an assumption! There was never been any documentation published to support this. The fact that in those days "cousin" could mean cousin, nephew, niece or even a theological "brother" leaves us with lots of possibilities. The fact that the families were close. The Ashby's sell the land at Harper's Ferry to the Berry's. The Enoch Berry who was "cousin" is probably the reason that Robert Ashby, son of Thomas Sr. named a son Enoch, if for no other than he was a friend/relative. But, I would like to see some "proof" that Berry was in fact, Rose Ashby's maiden name. In the meantime, we go with the coincidental basis and hope that it is true.

Does anyone know who are the parents of Robert Ashby who married ca 1718 Loudoun Co., Va. Elizabeth Botts dau. of Thomas. Robert Ashby will dated 27 Apr 1762 and proved 12 Nov 1764. Their issue: 1.

Hi, all. Trying to find out more info on any of the following (in order of nearest to furthest ancestry): William A. ASHBY b. ? PA, d. 05 Mar 1850 IL Fulton co, m. Hannah SHELTON/SHELDON (b. 04 Apr 1812 Ohio, d. 06 Jan 1896, IL Fulton Co). William A. ASHBY Sr. b. 20 Apr 1772, VA Princess Anne Co, d. 19 Jul 1831 IL Fulton Co, m. Annis WHITEHURST. William ASHBY d. 1776 VA Princess Anne Co, m. Amy UNKNOWN VA Princess anne Co. William ASHBY m. Elizabeth UNKNOWN bef. 01 Aug 1721 VA Princess Anne Co. William ASHBY b. England, d. VA Princess anne Co, m. Sarah UNKNOWN . William A. & Hannah Shelton ASHBY's daughter was Mary Ann, b. 04 Jan 1843 IL Jefferson Co, d. 21 Apr 1926 IL Fulton Co, m. aft. Jan 1865 Il Fulton Co Isaac LEVINGTSON/LIVINGSTON (b. @ 1846 Hopewell, OH Licking co, d. 25 Feb 1895 IL Fulton Co). I had much information garnered from several "borrowed" sources at one time, but I stupidly put it all on computer and never made many photocopies (younger genealogist then) and my computer got 'zished' by lightning and I've replaced it with my current model, sans a retrievable data base from the cooked hard drive of the other 'puter. I "owe" this info as part of a 'prisoner exchange' of info to another person, and I'm well-late getting it to him. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanks in advance for any and all responses! (-: --Cheryl

I have just joined the list and would like to ask if anyone has information on my Ashby line. Benjamin Peyton Ashby - born 30 April 1810 in Clark County, Virginia died 8 May 1880 in St. Charles County, Missouri sp. Mary Ann Keller - born 5 July 1824 in Clark County, VA married 29 January 1840 in Frederick County, VA died 5 November 1844 in St. Charles County, MO (Parents of Mary Ann Keller were Jacob Keller and Catherine Groves.) Catherine Elizabeth Ashby - born 30 January 1844 in St. Charles County, MO Living with Benjamin P. Ashby and his daughter as shown in the 1850, 1860 census was Algie ( Alcinda ) Gold, who according to Benjamin's Bible had married James Gold in 1819. According to Frederick County marriage records, Alice Corder married James Gold in 1819. Algie Gold's age on the census was compatible with the possibility of her being the mother of Benjamin Ashby, and the family legend has been that his mother's maiden name was Corder, but I can find no documentation. The last time I saw Reese's Ashby book, the listing for Benjamin Peyton Ashby was incorrect if I am to believe the information in his Bible and the census records from MO and his cemetery marker. Any cousins out there with any hints, ideas, information. Thanks. Mary McMillan

Patricia, My son-in-law descends from this branch of Ashbys and I have been researching this line and I am willing to exchange what information I have including the Holt branch.

I descend from Thomas ASHBY who married Mary Ann McCULLOUGH 1751 (Ref: Overwharton Parish Records, Stafford Co., VA) via their daughter Mary Ann who married Jesse RUDE 1770-1773. Do not have date nor place, but Jesse Rude was a married taxpayer on 1773 tax list of Springhill twp in Old Westmoreland Co., PA, which was located in southwest PA. Mary Ann was married to Jesse Rude by 1775 as she was baptized as an adult to become a member of the Great Bethel Baptist Church which was located near Uniontown, Fayette Co., PA. In church records, both Mary Ann Rude and her brother Bladen Ashby attended the same church meeting. It is possible that Jesse Rude moved his wife/children to his 400 acre land warrant in what was then Jefferson Co., KY, which became Nelson Co. Mary Ann was the sister of Elizabeth, Hankerson, Bladen, Thompson, and Silas Ashby. Hankerson Ashby was killed by Indians in August 1780. It appears he never married; he was awarded land in KY posthumously. This land on Shot Pouch Creek was inherited by Bladen (guess because as his eldest brother Bladen would be Hankerson's heir at law). Jesse and Mary Ann Rude named their first son Hankerson, which was my ancestor. The names Hankerson, Thompson, and Ashby Rude are carried down for generations in my Rude line. Is there anyone on the ASHBY list who descends from this same Ashby line -- i.e. Bladen, Thompson, Silas? Please let me know who you are and your descent. Would like to compare and share Ashby info. -- Helen Graves

Sorry, I don't have any Berry notes that could help. I am forwarding this message to the Ashby list. maybe somebody there will have information of the family of Rose Berry. Patrick Anderson In a message dated 99-01-19 22:44:24 EST, you write: << Subj: Ashby/Berry Relationship Date: 99-01-19 22:44:24 EST From: krezelak@cbs.webramp.net (Sue Krezelak) To: patander73@aol.com Hi Pat-- I am a direct line descendent of Reuben Berry that lived with the Ashby's in VA and KY. It is listed in Thomas Ashbys will 1752 that "cozen" Reuben and "cozen" Ann Berry were to receive one cow and calf when they reached 21. In old nomenclature, the term "cozen" often referred to nephew or niece. Do you think this is possible? I would like to know how they may be related to Rose Berry. Reuben was born about 1735-1740 and has been hooked to every Berry line imaginable, but I don't think anything has been proven yet. I have researched extensively in Hopkins, KY and think I have the 3 separate Berry families figured out. They may be related back in VA but no connection yet. I have heard a lot about the Ashby Book but have never seen it. Does it cover other families. Reuben Berry m. 1)Sarah 2)Sinah Claywell Ashby d/o Bounds, Henry, Thomas. I hope you can help. Thanks.
