Putting this marriage in my early Ashey research was a mistake. I was told by an elderly lady that John D. Ashley, who she called John Duncan Ashley 1st, was married to Elizabeth Sanders, daughter of George Sanders and Agnes Kelly and that George's original name was Pigg. That seems to be wrong as there was about 20 years younger than the other children, with none in between. Also, I later learned this Elizabeth Sanders was believed to have married Jordan/Jurdon Ashley of Kershaw Co., SC. They were the parents of the Jordan/Jurdon Ashley who married Sarah Sanders, grand daughter of George Sanders and Agnes Kelly. This Jordan/Jurdon Ashley and his family came to Mississippi and their descendant settled in Copiah Co., Mississippi.John D. Ashley and his wife Elizabeth were in Amite Co. MS in the 1820 census and in Wilkinson Co., MS in the 1830 census. I believe I found a tax record for them, or for a John Ashley, in Adams Co. in 1805 and a John Ashley settled a probate for his brother Thomas Ashley, 1804, Adams Co. MS. I don't know if this was my John D. Ashley but do know one of his daughters married in Amite county in 1809. I have not proven a marriage for this John D. Ashley, other than his wife's name was Elizabeth from her children's marriage records. One lady has written me that this John D. Ashley did marry an Elizabeth Sanders but she was the grand daughter of George Sanders and Agnes Kelly, not their daughter. She would be a first cousin to Sarah Sanders of SC and Copiah Co., MS. I am inclined to believe this but still do not know the parents of this John D. Ashley. Also, I have found nothing that gave his name as John Duncan Ashley, other than the word of the elderly lady, and I think she was confused. She was in her mid 80s when I knew her and did get confused on some of the names. One thing I will also mention here, I sent a copy of a picture of Sarah Sanders, wife of Jordan Ashley, to an distance relative and she called to say the woman looked exactly like her father. Her father was a descendant Jonathan Jasper Day and Isabel F. Ashley. Isabel was the grand daughter of John DUNCAN Ashley and Sarah Jane Adams. There are records to show that Thomas Ashley, whose probate was settled by John Ashley in Adams Co. MS, was the brother of Robert Ashley who owned the first public Inn in Port Gibson. This Robert Ashley was the nephew by marriage of Gen. Elijah Clark. famous for his leadership in the Hornets Nest during the Rev. War in Georgia. There is much research that needs doing on this John D. Ashley line. If I have confused anyone don't hesitate to write with questions. I have worked this line since 1974 and am still trying to find records that would take us back to John D. Ashley's parents. WITH PROOF.

Shirley, the John D. Ashley who married Sarah Jane Adams was John Duncan Ashley. He was the son of Thomas Ashley and Sarah 'Sally' Day. Thomas was the son of the John Duncan Ashley who married Elizabeth who we THINK is the grand daughter of George Sanders and Agnes Kelly. Sarah Day was the daughter of Jonathan Day and his first wife, a Miss Trice. We know her parents but not her first name, and believe me, I have spent years reading Hancock county, GA. records trying to get a clue to her name. This John D. Ashley was the only one I know with the middle name of Duncan. The naming system back then seem to be using the first name of a parent and a completely different middle name. If I ever find a record that shows the older John D. had Duncan for a middle name I will send it out at once. I have seen records with people guessing several middle name for him, including Drake, but have as yet to find any record for him other than John D. Ashley in the 1820, 1830 census and his obit. I have found no deeds or probate records, although his sons receive land grants in Wilkinson Co. MS. and we know John D. Ashley died in Wilkinson Co., MS in 1830. I also heard stories that this John D. Ashley helped build the old Hopewell Church in Wilkinson Co.

Hi Virginia, The best I have is William Morgan Nettles, b.1780-90 and 1785, Williamsburg, SC, d. 1840, lived in St. Landry and Caldwell Parishes, Louisiana. William is named with his father, Isham, Sr, his mother Anna Simmons Nettles, his sister Mary Humble, her husband James, as well as his sister Nancy and husband John McCollister and close friends as being in the group to enter and leave Baptist churches in Amite and Wilkinson Co. MS, moving on to do good work and on into LA, which was Isham's charge . William Morgan Nettles, father of Wm Thomas, must have continued the same work over into Louisiana with first and second wife, as his father did. I have yet to discover his death place but am eager. His sister Nancy and John McCollister died in Sabine Parish, LA, "1850 C Sabine Parish, LA, Fly. #361/362." I will continue this later, as it is late. Thanks again, to all who help place us in history. Sherry Nettles Bearden Virginia Ewing <vewing65@ctesc.net> wrote: So glad you wrote.

Tina Hall said she might try to come for the Jersey Settlers reunion in April and, if so, I want to come over then. May come earlier and stay awhile if I can get away from here. My grand daughter is having a baby the first part of April but her husband is home so I won't be needed this time. Last baby he was in Iraq and I had to go help her out. Do you have an birth, death dates ofr William Morgan, father of William Thomas? Do you know what happened to them after he re-married. I didn't see them on the census in Wilkinson co. I will continue working on the Nettles line, as much as I can, and bring several printouts when I come. That way we can all compare and weed out my mistakes.

Hi Tina, As far as we have it, yes. The first Wm "Morgan" Nettles we spoke of married Elizabeth Ashley, both born South Carolina and their son, William "Thomas, " raised with the Ashley grandparents, grew up to marry an Elizabeth Ashley.

I appreciate all of the responses to my request. So far, I have not located anything in the area of Fort Adams. A little while ago I located my topographical maps that were missplaced during a recent move. I do see several lights indicated in the bend of the river near Fort Adams. This makes me certain that a light of some sort did exist in the area. I have not contacted the Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg or the MS Dept. of Archives and History but will do so. A trip down to Fort Adams could produce something also. You know that it is a challenge like this that makes historical and genealogical research so interesting. I know all of you out there understand this and have faced it many times. Thanks again for helping me with this.
