A. I am looking for information on Abel Ashby and a possible father, James Ashby (See Below): B. This is the information that I found at one point and it is NOT verified and seems questionable. (See information in quotes immediately below): "ABEL ASHBY was born October 09, 1787 in Ft. Ashby, Maryland, and died May 09, 1846 in Warren Township, Ohio. He married HARRIET CONOWAY ASHBY November 28, 1811 in Steubenville, Ohio, daughter of GEORGE HAMMOND and DEBORAH HUTTON. (I have a suspicion that Harriet is the daughter of Charles Conaway, I am assuming that the Hammond reference was an error.) She was born 1790 in Maryland, and died October 03, 1854 in Wells Township, Ohio." C. I have recently come across the information below (in quotes): "Also, info from the MD Genealogical Society Bulletin: An August 1970 query --- "Ashby, Abel, b Winchester VA 10 Sep 1787 lived Steubenville OH. Believe his father to be James Ashby of Eastern Maryland." " D. I am posting on various groups in both Maryland and Virginia. I would appreciate any help.
