I found a resource at an Ashby website: Here is the URL: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/4308/ashby.html This begins with Thomas Ashby of VA who died around 1779, I think. He was the father of Capt John Ashby who served under Washington and was married to the rather notorious Jean Combs (Gen Washington wrote a letter to her husband telling him he had better curb his wife.) Other children are listed, including Elizabeth who is the one, I am sure, who married John Stacy, my connection with the Ashby line. There are about 3 generations given, as I recall, for each of the original offspring of Thomas. I was thrilled as I had searched near and far for my elusive Eliz. Ashby ggg, etc. gm. Hope some of you find this as helpful as I did Margaret Combs Jan Hood wrote: > Researching the ASHBYs of Fauquier County, Va. > > I'm new to this list, about 3 weeks now, but there doesn't seem to be > much activity.
