Ashby

William

 

 

 

 

William Ashby is mentioned in a biography as the great-grandfather of John Ashby.  It was written that he came to America with his brother.  It implies that his son William was in the War of 1812 and died leaving a large family.  This story seems to mirror George Ashby, who was a direct ancestor.  However, more research needs to be done to confirm whether he had multiple sons lost in the War of 1812 or if William and George became confused at some point.
