Robert ASHLEY was an early resident of early Springfield, MA. The map is of the first settlers of Springfield, MA. Samuel COOPER's 3rd wife was Mary ASHLEY, probably a descendant of Robert ASHLEY but I have no proof of that. Mary's parents were David ASHLEY and Mary DEWEY. All these individuals were residents of Springfield, MA. I hope this clears the confussion.
