    3. Don, I found it. >From the 2 volume set of books named FORSYTHE, LOWRY, RUST, EVANS, AND RELATED FAMILIES, COX, LAMKIN, RUCKER and WESTMORELAND, by Leona Lentz Weaver, 1889. All of these families are related. I am related to the Forsythe, Rust, Cox, Lamkin, and Rucker lines. George Lamkin, Jr married ca 1709 Jane Ashton. Issue: All Lamkins, Peter, George III, Eleanor, Samuel, Charles b 1718, and Ashton Lamkin b 1720 George Lamkin's will dated 1728, pro. 1727 Westmoreland Co. VA names wife Jean (Jane) sons, Peter and George, dau Eleanor; wife and bro James Exrs. Jane Ashton Lamkin married secondly Richard Partridge. Issue: Matthew Partridge Richard Partridge's will dated 4 Apr 1750 pro. 29 May 1750 Westmoreland Co., VA names wife Jean(Jane), her sons Charles and Ashton Lamkin and son Matthew Partridge. Jane Partridge's will dated 18 Sep 1760, pro. 31 Mar 1761, Westmoreland Co., VA names sons Charles and Ashton Lamkin, dau Eleanor Cox, grdau Sarah Rust, grson Daniel Lamkin. Son, Samuel Lamkin, was not named in the above wills, but his son Daniel was named. Samuel named his bros. Charles and Ashton Lamkin in his will, 1751. Jane Ashton's parentage is not known. There is circumstantial evidence that she may be the granddaughter of William Smith. His will dated 10 Oct 1707 pro. 26 Nov 1707 Westmoreland Co., VA names granddaughters Jane Ashton and Sarah Ashton. He also named dau Mary King and grandson Smith King. On 28 Aug 1678 he had bound his dau Mary to Vioncent Cox, (Sr). At that time Vincent Cox also had a captured servant, named William King. It is quite possible that Mary Smith married William King. All I know about this is from this book. You will have to take it for what it is worth along with your research. Dan Devault PS. Some of these Ashtons married into the George Washington family.
