Ashford was the son of Jacob Dennis and Susannah Adams. My gggmother was Elizabeth Adams--sister to Susannah--and she also named a son Liston. A third sister who married a Waller had a grandson named Liston. Must be a clue in there somewhere! The Adams sisters' mother was a Mary Ann Adams born PA 1772, but she was a widow by 1820 and I have no idea who their father was. They were born in PA.
