Hi! I have been working on a collection of family history on the Ashmore's of Greenville, Co.for about a year now. I have worked with several other researchers and our documentation has shown that the wife of James is not Elizabeth Balsch, but another Elizabeth, both James were in NC at the same time and married cousins, but James Ashmore and Elizabeth Balsch Ashmore went on to Tennesse and our Elizabeth is buried at Ashmore Private Cemetery in Greenville SC. Her birthdate is April 1740, she married James of Chatham, NC, who was the son of Margaret and Walter of Baltimore Co., MD. There has been much confusion about the two James and Elizabeths who were in NC at the same time, but I think with the help of several researchers around the country we are about to sort it out. Elizabeth, came to Greenville Co., around 1786, with her eldest son John, and his brothers Walter, and James. James of Chatham died in 1785. I have records of his Rev War service. James D., who married! Mary Cox, is the son of John and his wife Jane Brashier, both buried also at Ashmore Private Cemetery. Your James D. and Mary Cox are buried at Reedy Fork Baptist Church. I would love to have any info from any Ashmores out there. I have contacted many through a family history survey. Marilyn Ashmore
