good morning Sue, I don't know about the Boyle Co, KY Ashby family. There were quite a few Ashby folk in Hopkins co, KY when I was a kid. Had a teacher named Miss Sarah Ashby, We called all teachers Miss, so I don't know if she was married or not. :) Bill Webster gijoeww2@etsc.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Sue <canova@tstar.net> To: <ASHBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 13, 1999 9:39 AM Subject: Ashby in Boyle Co., KY > Hello list, > I've just been given a copy of a marriage bond for a John R.
