    2. Cousin Nanette, Which child of William and Rebecca Asher ? My Great Great Grandmother was daughter of William Blevins Asher. I know little of the court case. Only told by my grandmother that her mother Mahala and her brother Christopher Bowling went to court in Manchester and that Mahala was taken there by her son Author. The Lawyer for Mahala and Christopher was a member of her husbands family. A Mr. Eagle. Mahala and Christopher could not read or write. Some of the family were of the impression that they were not treated fairly. Have not found any court record of this action. It also told that the property was the land sold to Henry Ford by the Asher family. This land is where the trees were cut, used, and turned into coke to be used in Ford plants where Henry Ford made his cars. Anyone know anything would love to hear. OH how I wish I had written or taped all this history while they were here to ask questions. Kay
