Re your message - I am compiling a book on Early Families of the Magaguadavic River, called "Early Families of the Mackadavy" and have a lot of research material and brief genealogies submitted by various people for inclusion in the book. Included in it is the ASH and PRATT families. You asked about Robert & Ann; Robert Ash b.16 Oct. 1798 in St. George NB, d. abt 1870. He married Ann Pratt 24 June 1824 in St. George; she was b. abt 1806 in NB.and died after 1880 in Malden, MA. Robert & Ann had 14 children; I have their names & particulars if you need them. After Robert's death Ann lived in N.H. with her son, William, during the 1880 census. John T. GOSS was b. 15 Sept. 1806 in Bonny River (St. George) NB. d. 26 Mar. 1893 in Ayer, MA. He married Mary PRATT, 7 Oct. 1829; she was b. l812 in Second Falls, (St. George) NB. Mary & John lived for many years at Aroostook, ME; they are both buried at Presque Isle, ME. Good Luck.
