I wonder if any else is researching this family and can help me make connections (or not). John Ashby age 49 born in England, farmer Jane Ashby age 46 born in England John Ashby age 15 born in New York William Ashby age 13 born in NY Emma Ashby age 11 born in NY A????? Ashby female age 9 born in MI I find John & William in the 1870 Hope, Barry Co., Michigan census living with another family. Their ages are 10 years more than above (25 and 23 respectively). Can't find the girls but am not sure if they have married, or if the census I'm using (Heritage Quest) includes an every name index for the 1870 census. Can't find the parents in the 1870 census anywhere. Not even under Ashley (which is how they are indexed in the Heritage Quest 1860 census). I'm descended from Eliza (my great grandmother) who is not listed above because she was married to Jabez Chamberlain before 1860. I have some information that shows Eliza's parents as John Ashby and Jane Harwood. If you have any information on this family I would love to hear from you. Thanks Patricia Champaign, IL
