September 12, 2013 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 First Generation

1. ASHCOM was born (date unknown). The name Ashcom (and its variants--Ascham, Askham, Ashcomb, Ashcombe, etc.) may either (i) be derived from the villages of East Ascham and West Ascham in Yorkshire, England, or (ii) be a be a compound derivation of "ash," as in the tree, and "comb," which is common word for valley in southeast England.

A Roger de Askam is mentioned as early as 1313. Hammond Askham was Master of Balliol College, Oxford in 1317 and resided in Kirby Wiske, Yorkshire, England. William Askham was Yoeman of York in 1390. William Askham was Lord Mayor of London in 1403. Walter ASkham was Sargeant at Law in 1510.

A Roger Ascham, born 1515, was educated at St. John's College, receiving a B.A. Degree on February 18, 1533. He was admitted to fellowship at St. John's on March 23, 1533, where he was a scholar of Greek and Latin and an accomplished musician. He was know for his beautiful handwriting. He was the author of a number of books and treatises, including, in 1544, a famous treatise on archery and, between 1563 and 1568, his famous "Scholemaster." He became an orator at the Universtiy of Cambridge. Then, in July 1548 he became tutor to Princess Elizabeth. In 1553, he became Latin Secretary to Queen Mary. He married margaret Howe, a niece of Sir Henry Wallop on January 1, 1554. For his service to the Queen, he obtained a grant of Salisbury Hall at Walthamstow, Essex in 1567. A month before he died, he sat up nights to complete a Latin poem which he desired to present to eh Queen on November 17--the anniversary of her accession. He died on December 30, 1568, of a "wasting disease." On hearing of his death, Qeen Elizabeth is reported to have exclaimed that she "would rather have cast L10,000 into the sea, than to have lost her Ashcam." Scholars in England and on the Continent expressed their grief at his death by composing Latin verses to his memory.

ASHCOM had the following child:

+2 i. John ASHCOM, born 1615, Sutton Courtney (Berkshire), England; married Winifred UNKNOWN, about 1640, Berkshire, England; died August 31, 1684, Point Patience, Calvert Co., Maryland.

Second Generation

2. John ASHCOM was born in 1615 in Sutton Courtney (Berkshire), England. According to family historian Robert Ashcom, John was born in Sutton Courtney, England. According to family historian Mrs. J. Dawson Reeder beginning in 1952 and Areta Blake, Provo, UT, John was born in Berkshire, England. He died on August 31, 1684 at the age of 69 in Point Patience, Calvert Co., Maryland. Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607, was the first permanent English settlement in North America. , Originally also called "James Towne" or "Jamestowne", it is located on the James River in what is currently James City County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The site is about 40 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and about 45 miles downstream and southeast of the current state capital city of Richmond. Both the river and the settlement were named after King James I of England, who was on the throne at the time, granted the private proprietorship to the Virginia Company of London.

In 1622, the Algonquian Indians attacked the out plantations killing over 300 of the settlers. Even though a last

2 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 minute warning spared Jamestown, the attack on the colony and mismanagement of the Virginia Company at home convinced the King that he should revoke the Virginia Company Charter. Virginia became a crown colony in 1624. After the attack, a census of all the living inhabitants of Jamestown was conducted. This census became known as the Muster of 1624/25. A John Askume, age 22, is shown in the Muster as living in Accomack County in the Eastern Shore of Virginia, having arrived in 1624 aboard the ship The Charles.

Thus, John possibly arrived in Jamestown, Virginia as early as 1624. That this is the John with whom we are concerned here, needs to be confirmed. In any event, he seems to have been a landowner in Virginia before ultmately moving to Maryland with his wife and three sons in about 1651.

According to "Cavaliers and Pioneers; Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants 1623-1666", Nugent, Nell Marion Genealogical Publishing Co. (1974) (page 165), John was granted land in Upper Norfolk Co. in March 1638: [Patent Book No.2] John Ashcomb, 829 acs., Up. Norf. Co., Oct. 7, 1646, Page 83.

Lasher, Richard Galloway, James Goodcross, Madelow (or Madelene) Powell, Henry Jones, Edward Wood, Martha Lylls, Elizabeth Coram, John Moore, Winefrid Jones, Tho. Salsberry, Gilbert Lake, Edward Prince, Mary Gallaway." Cited at: http://users.ticnet.com/stevem/p1bk10.htm (April 20, 2002). In 1637, the House of Burgesses had divided New Norfolk County into Upper Norfolk County and Lower Norfolk County. Upper Norfolk County was renamed Nansemond County in 1646. Nansemond County was later incorporated into the City of Suffolk.

According to family historian Mrs. J. Dawson Reeder (without citing any source), John Ashcom was an extensive landowner in Maryland in 1643. He came from Berkshire, England with his wife Winifred, four sons, two relatives and, in 1650 and 1651, six servants (Alexandre, Mathoda, Will Gibbins, Guy Edward Wood, Witt Ward and Joan). For this, on July 2, 1649, Lord Baltimore granted John land at the mouth of the Patuxant River: 360 acres known as Pt. Patience in St. Mary's Co., named and recorded August 6, 1651 (1661?); 650 acres known as West Ashcom (on the west side of the Patuxant River) in St. Mary's Co., surveyed June (July?) 17, 1652; and 200 (440?) acres known as East Ashcom or Hallowing Point (on the east side of the Patuxant River) in Calvert, Co., surveyed April 21, 1653. (Mrs. Reeder's account filed with the DAR Library in Washington, D.C. states that the grant was made in 1658.) The East Ashcom and West Aschom estates were apparently named after the villages of his home, near York, England.

John's will, which is recorded in the Maryland Land Office in Annapolis, MD, was probated on July 16 and August 31, 1684. It provided that West Ashcom would be left to his son Charles "if he should come into the Province." Charles, was at the time, apparently in Pennsylvania, serving under William Penn as the Deputy Surveyor for Chester Co.

According to family historian Robert Ashcom, John Ashcom came to America in approximately 1635 from Sutton Courtney, England. He received a land grant in Norfolk, Va., then he and his children moved to St. Mary's, Md. where they obtained several land grants at the mouth of the Chesapeake.

EARLY MARYLAND HISTORY

In 1498, John Cabot sailed along Eastern Shore off present-day Worcester County and in 1608, Capt. John Smith explored Chesapeake Bay. In 1629, George Calvert, 1st Lord Baltimore, left Avalon in Newfoundland, and visited Virginia.

St. Mary's City is the site of the first settlement in Maryland and the first seat of colonial government. The Society

3 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 of Jesus (Jesuits) established one of the earliest manors in the new colony at St. Inigoes soon after St. Mary's City was founded. In many regards, the early history of the colony is the history of St. Mary's County, and the Jesuit Manor played a prominent role in that history.

In 1632, the first Lord Baltimore, Sir George Calvert, began procedures to acquire a charter for lands in the Chesapeake Bay region. He died before King Charles I and the privy council had completed the arrangements, and it fell to Sir George's son, Cecilius Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, to complete the negotiations and obtain the charter. After obtaining the charter, Calvert went about finding financial backers to help support his attempt to start an overseas colony. In order to attract wealthy immigrants and financial backers, Lord Baltimore offered a variety of inducements that included large land grants, government offices, and noble titles for those who would transport sufficient numbers of settlers to the province. Central to Calvert's plan was a reward of 2,000 acres of land (later 1,000) to investors for every 5 men between the ages of 16 and 50 that they brought into the province (Menard and Carr 1982:177,189). Anyone transporting enough people to receive a grant of at least 1,000 acres (later 3,000) could have his tract designated a manor, complete with the right to hold court and other privileges. Lord Baltimore envisioned the manorial lords as forming a new nobility with similar powers and responsibilities as the established landed gentry in England. The formation of manors was to be an important step in the growth of the colony, and the manors would serve as a central institution in the life of the province, serving as an instrument of social control and as a focal point for community loyalties (Menard and Carr 1982:177-178). Generally, the manorial system, as envisioned by Lord Baltimore, was a failure, although in many ways the Jesuit manor at St. Inigoes fulfilled Calvert's vision. St. Inigoes Manor was owned by the Jesuits for over 300 years and served as a stabilizing force in the local area.

Lord Baltimore was largely unsuccessful in his attempts to attract wealthy immigrants, and the next year, when the ships Ark and Dove were sent off to colonize his landholding in the New World, they carried only 17 gentlemen investors. These men were among the group of 140 to 200 settlers that also included two or three Jesuits and their servants. Most of the remaining passengers were Protestant indentured servants employed by the Catholic investors. The venture was under the directorship of Leonard Calvert, Lord Baltimore's younger brother, who had been assigned governor of the settlement before leaving England (Menard and Carr 1982:168). The Jesuits, then, were financial supporters of Lord Baltimore's overseas colony. All of the gentry on board the Ark and Dove were from families that were associated with the Jesuits (Bossy 1982:162).

On March 25, 1634, the settlers, after exploring the area and meeting with the Piscataway Indians, landed at a Yacomoco Indian village six miles up the Potomac on St. George's River (later called St. Mary's River). After negotiating terms, the Indians agreed to leave their village and their fields; at this place, St. Mary's City was founded (Menard and Carr 1982:185-187).

One of the first activities at the new settlement was the erection of a fort. However, within three years, the settlers had dispersed to various plantations and the fort was abandoned. The settlers soon turned to tobacco as the primary cash crop. High tobacco prices during the mid-1630s, coupled with friendly relations with the Indians, fertile soil, and abundant natural resources provided an adequate foundation for the colony's early survival. Population increased mainly by the arrival of new settlers, and, by 1637, when St. Mary's County was formed, the population totaled between 340 to 390 (Menard and Carr 1982:187).

In 1642, most of the settlers were still located within a few miles of the original landing site and were divided into three administrative units known as "hundreds": St. Michaels, from Point Lookout to St. Inigoes Creek; St. Mary's, on the east bank of St. Mary's River, north of St. Michaels; and St. George's, on the west bank of St. Mary's River. Others had moved farther away, near the Patuxent and Wicomico rivers and were organized into St. Clement's Hundred, between St. Mary's Hundred and the Wicomico River and Mattapanie Hundred on the Patuxent River (Pogue 1983). Of the five "hundreds" in the county, St. Michaels, which included St. Inigoes Neck, was the most populous with 120 occupants; however, St. Mary's Hundred, which included the fledgling

4 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 town of St. Mary's, was the most densely settled. By 1642, 13 tracts of land had been surveyed in the town and 12 households were settled in the general area (Menard and Carr 1982:193).

Sixteen manors were in existence by 1642, which together contained 31, 000 acres and represented over 80 percent of all of the patented land in the province. An estimated 90 percent of this land remained unimproved as of1642. Throughout the early years of the settlement there was a chronic labor shortage and manor owners found it difficult to improve their grants. Few servants desired to remain at the manor after completing the term of indenture, which was usually four or five years. Upon completion of this term, the former servant could collect "freedom dues," which consisted of a suit of clothing, an axe and hoe, three barrels of corn from the former master, and (until 1681) a 5O- acre land warrant obtainable on demand from the proprietor (Carr and Menard 1979:207). As a consequence, many small owner operated plantations, not manors, became the dominant agriculture unit (Menard and Carr 1982:193).

The next twenty years proved difficult for the colony. In 1645, Richard Ingle and a group of rebels raided St. Mary's, looted, sacked, and burned many of the outlying plantations, captured several Jesuit priests and Catholic leaders, and seized control of the government. Governor Calvert fled to Virginia, as did many settlers. Late in 1646, Calvert returned with an armed force and restored order, but the county had lost many of its inhabitants. Between 1646 and 1652, the county experienced a short period of economic expansion and general growth; however, in 1652 Lord Baltimore lost his charter when a commission from the new English Commonwealth seized control of the provincial government. The proprietorship was restored to Lord Baltimore in 1658. After 1660 and the restoration of King Charles II, the province, now consisting of six counties, began a period of sustained growth (Menard and Carr 1982:210).

In 1667, St. Mary's was established as the first official city of the province, which formalized its position as the seat of government in the province. Thereafter, a period of significant expansion began which reached its peak in the 1680s. During this period, public buildings were constructed, and inns and stables were opened to tend to the needs of those coming into the city. All this came to an end in 1689, when a group calling themselves the Protestant Associators seized the government and named one of their members, Nehemiah Blackstone, as governor. As a result, the seat of government was moved to Annapolis in 1695. Without the business of government, St. Mary's City lacked an economic base, and most of the settlement was abandoned. By the 1720s, little trace of the first settlement remained (Menard and Carr 1982:213).

During the first 30 or 40 years after the founding of the colony, real opportunity existed for freed servants to achieve considerable property and status, and many went on to distinguish themselves in government and as planters. Beginning around 1675, however, the highly mobile, predominantly small planter society that had evolved since 1640 changed significantly. In 1680, a thirty-year period of economic depression began that would be broken only by two short periods of prosperity (1685-86 and 1698- 1702). Indentured servants, when they completed their terms, found themselves free but with no capital and little credit in a depressed economy that offered little chance of advancement (Carr and Menard 1979:234). Society became less mobile during this period, and those with inherited wealth and family position comprised an emerging native elite. By the early 1700s, this elite constituted a rigid oligarchy that held power within the county well into the nineteenth century (Ridgeway 1979:129).

The population of St. Mary's County increased slowly during the seventeenth century while the county's share of the population of the colony decreased. In 1675, the population of St. Mary's County was 2, 218, only third highest in the colony, although for the first time population growth was a result of native births rather than immigration. By 1712, population had only increased to 4,090, which represented less than 10 percent of the colony's total population. The population of St. Mary's County continued to grow at a slow pace until 1775 when it reached a peak of 16,950. After 1775, the population decreased significantly, and it would not be until a hundred years later (1880) that the population would approach pre-Revolutionary War numbers. To the end of the

5 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 eighteenth century and for much of the nineteenth century, the population remained between 12,000 and 13,000. Between 1860 and 1930, there were modest increases, and the population of the county grew to between 15,000 and 17,000 (Wesler et al. 1981:162- 164). Population growth began to accelerate after 1940, and in 1970 there were about 48,000 people living in the county (Dozer 1976:7; Gibson 1978:1).

By 1725, social and economic trends that would continue into the twentieth century had been established in the county. From the time of initial settlement, tobacco had been the main agricultural staple and economic activity. Tobacco production and shipment did not encourage the development of towns because ships continued to land at tobacco plantations into the mid-nineteenth century. This practice also slowed the establishment of a road network in the county. Social and economic development in the county was behind that of other counties that diversified their agricultural base and developed industries. Tobacco agriculture also influenced the demographic development of the county. While indentured servants continued to make up most of the work force until the early part of the eighteenth century, the number of slaves in the county increased rapidly after that time. Initially, slaves were introduced due to the difficulty of obtaining white servants, but by 1712 slaves made up over 10 percent of the county's population. The percentage increased throughout the eighteenth century, and from the 1780s to emancipation, slaves would comprise over 40 percent of the county's population (Wesler et al. 1981:162-164). During the second half of the nineteenth century, there was some attempt to diversify the economic base of the county. Oyster- shucking and canning and crab-packing industries were started in the last quarter of the century. A commercial fishing industry also began and reached a peak in the early twentieth century. However, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were marked by the persistence of small agricultural towns. The county has retained its rural character and tobacco production remains the major economic pursuit. Over the past 40 years, the addition of government services, mixed commercial enterprises, construction, and forestry have provided the county with a more varied economic base (Dozer 1976:70; Gibson 1978:1).

John Ashcom

John ASHCOM and Winifred UNKNOWN were married about 1640 in Berkshire, England. Winifred UNKNOWN was born about 1619 in Berkshire, England. She died before 1684 at the age of 65 in Point Patience, Calvert County, Maryland.

Third Generation

3. Charles ASHCOM was born about 1645 in England. He died in 1702 at the age of 57 in St. Mary's, Maryland. According to "Early Families of Southern Maryland," vol 3, by E.G.Jourdan (p. 212), Charles Ashcom was in Pennsylvania at the time of the will of his father was written, which would have been prior to 1684. The register of the Parish of St. Dunstan, Middlesex, England states: "Charles Ashcom of Pensilvania in America, bachelor, and Martha Earle of Ratcliffe, spinster, married."

A Charles Ashcom was a surveyor in southeast Pennsylvania from about 1661 to around 1688. It is assumed, without confirmation, that this is the same Charles Ashcom.

While in Pennsylvania, Charles was a key witness in the only witch trial ever held in Pennsylvania, in 1683. The text of the proceedings from the Pennsylvania Archives is as follows:

Charles apparently went to Maryland around 1687, where he remained after marrying Martha Earle. Charles would have had good reason to move to Virginia. His father's will, which is recorded in the Maryland Land Office in Annapolis, Maryland, was probated on July 16 and August 31, 1684. It provided that the family property known as West Ashcom would be left to his son Charles "if he should come into the Province."

According to family historian Mrs. J. Dawson Reeder, Charles was elected one of the first vestryman of All Faith Parish on February 14, 1692. He served through November 29, 1701, when he is last mentioned in the church record.

Researcher Areta Blake of Provo, UT shows eleven children for Charles and Martha, including a second Samuel (b. abt 1683, St. Mary's Co., MD), a second Charles (b. abt 1685, St. Mary's Co., MD; d. 1729, St. Mary's Co., MD), a second Mary (b. abt 1694, St. Mary's Co., MD; married to Thomas Truman Greenfield, who this database shows as the father of James Greenfield, husband of the other Mary), a second John (b. abt 1690, St. Mary's, MD), and a second Winifred (b. abt 1692 St. Mary's Co., MD, d. March 27, 1718 in St. Mary's Co., MD) and a Martha (b. abt 1696, St. Mary's Co., MD). These children have not yet been added to this database because the information has not been verfied.

Charles ASHCOM and Martha EARLE were married on August 14, 1687 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. Martha EARLE was born in 1667. She died on April 22, 1724 at the age of 57 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. WILL OF MARTHA DANSEY

5. Nathaniel ASHCOM was born about 1643 in Berkshire, England. He died on May 19, 1687 at the age of 44 in Calvert County, Maryland. Nathaniel wasd born before 1650, inasmuch as he was claimed as a headright by his father upon coming to Maryland. At his father's death, he inherited "Point Patience," but previously, there was patented to him on January 10, 1680, "Ashcombe's Inclosure" (150 acres) and "Ashcombe's Outlet" (100 acres), both in Dorchester County. By these patents, the entirety of the present-day "Aisquith's Island" came into the possession of the Ashcom family.

The "Holme Map" of Pennsylvania, usually date 1681, also show Nathaniel as a landowner in Chester County, Pennsylvania, probably through his brother Charles' agency. On October 25, 1682, with his brother Samuel and brother-in-law Benjamin Lawrence, he was a patentee of "Desart" (1048 acres) in Calvert County, Maryland. (According to Peter Wilson Coldham, "Settlers of Maryland 1679-1700" Baltimore, 1995, p. 5.) According to Mrs. Cary Reeder, this tract was surveyed and taken up in 1682 by Samuel and Nathaniel Ashcom adn their brother-in-law Benjamin Lawrence. In 1769, it was discovered that they had never had the land duly recorded. Young Parran, who was a son of Alexander Parran by his second wife, Mary Young, inherited or bought this tract in 1769. His first wife was Mary Ashcom, daughter of Nathaniel. (According to Charles Francis Stein, "A History of Calvert County Maryland" s.l. 1960, p. 301.)

Nathaniel Ashcom made his will on March 25, 1687, which was probated on May 19, 1687. It provided as follows:

"To wife mary, executrix, 220 acres called "Ashcomb's Purchase" on Hungar River in Dorchester County, 150 acres called "Ashcom's Outler," 50 acres called "Ashcom's Enclosure" and Point Patience" during her widowhood. To son Nathaniel and his heirs, "Point Patience" at the dearh or marriage of the widow, and also part of testator's portion of "Deserts." To son John and his heirs "Ashcom's Purchase" [Dorchester County] at the death of his mother, and the residue of "Deserts." to daughters mary and Elizabeth, personalty. In the event of the death of the sons without issue the two daughters were to inherit their estate, and Nathaniel made his brother Charles joint executix with the widow."

(According to Jane Baldwin, "The Maryland Calendar of Wills" Westminster, Md. 1988, originally pub. 1904, pp. 14-15, citing Prorogative Court Wills 14:464.) Also by this will, Nathaniel's Dorchester County lands, "Ashcomb's Purchase" (200 acres), "Nathaniel Ashcomb's Purchase" (150 acres), "Ashcomb's Intent" (50 acres) and an unamed 25 acres, came into Alexander Parran's possession, and he and his wife Mary sold these tracts to William Chapline of Dorchester County on February 20, 1705. (According to James A. McAllister, Jr., comp., "Abstracts from the Land Records of Dorchester County, Maryland" s.l. 1961, p. 4, citing the Dorchester County records as "fol.6 Old Liber 77.")

By Nathaniel's will, "Point Patience" passed to the Parran family. His wife Mary made her will on August 1, 1701, and it was probated on May 15, 1703. It provided as follows:

"To her son nathaniel and his heirs, personalty, including that which was at "Point Patience;" she was apparently not living there at the time of her death. The plantation to pass to Nathaniel after eight years, during which time it is to be in the possession of daughters Mary and Elizabeth, to whose possession the plantation is to revert in the event of the death of son Nathaniel without heirs, in accordance with her husband's will. She specifically named her daughter Mary Parran, and her grand-daughter Mary Parran, who were to share with daughter Elizabeth in all the residue fo teh estate. The executors were son Nathaniel adn Alexander Parran. (According to Jane Baldwin, "The Maryland Calendar of Wills" Westminster, Md. 1988, originally pub. 1904, pp. 14-15, citing Prerogative Court Wills 11:387.)

Somerset County, Pennsylvania was created out of Bedford County by an act of the State Legislature on April 17, 1795. In February of 1801, the court created Conemaugh Township. When Conemaugh Township was created, Somerset County extended north covering half of present-day Cambria County. This northern area was made up of Cambria Township, created in 1799 and Conemaugh Township. When Cambria County was created on March 26, 1804, Conemaugh Township was split in two, thus creating Conemaugh Township, Cambria County and Conemaugh Township, Somerset County. Today, Conemaugh Township is located in the northwest corner of Somerset County. Conemaugh is an Indian name which meant "long fishing place." Conemaugh Township was built upon farming, logging and coal but has grown into a bedroom community for nearby cities.

According to the Ligonier Township tax records for 1829 and 1831, a John Ashcom (Ashom (1829), Askom (1831)) owned 300 acres in Ligonier Township in 1829, although he is listed on the "poor list" in both years as being unable to pay for schooling for his children. His children are shown as Samuel, age 11, and John, age 9, in 1829. (This is consistent with the 1880 census which shows John Ashcom as being age 60 in 1880.) In 1831, a William, age 9, is shown as John's child, although neither Samuel nor John is listed. In 1829, William, age 7, and Mary, age 9, are shown to be the children of a James Ashcom (Aschom). Perhaps John was able to send his children to school in 1831, although he could not afford to send his brother's child to school.

According to family historian Robert Ashcom, reading from an account dictated in 1837 by W. T. Martin, husband of Amelia Ashcom, who was the daughter of Nathanial, John was a clerk at the iron works in Westmoreland County.

53. James ASHCOM was born on August 21, 1790 in St. Mary's, Maryland. James and his sister, Amelia, were twins. According to the Ligonier Township tax records for 1829 and 1831, a James Ashcom (Ashom) owned a cow in Ligonier Township in 1829, although he is listed on the "poor list" as being unable to pay for schooling for his children. His children are shown as Mary, age 9, and William, age 7, in 1829. Presumably, James lived with his brother John, who is shown to own 300 acres in 1829. In 1831 neither James nor his children are listed, but a William, age 9, is shown as John's child. Perhaps John was able to send his children to school in 1831, although he could not afford to send his brother's child to school.

According to the 1850 Census for Derry Township, Westmoreland County Pennsylvania, a James Askum, age 60, born in Maryland, lived with his wife Elizabeth. His occupation is listed as a laborer.

According to Richard Goms ([email protected]), James and Elizabeth apparently moved to Valparaiso, Indiana in the late 1850's. A James and Elizabeth Ashcom were enrolled in the Valparaiso, Indiana Baptist Church in 1859 and a James and Elizabeth Ashcum appear in the 1860 U.S. Census in Valparasio, Indiana. Their son-in-law John F. Morris and daughter Rebecca arrived in Valparaiso at about this time.

James ASHCOM and Elizabeth CUSTER were married about 1817. Elizabeth CUSTER was born about 1799 in Quemahoning Twp, Somerset Co, Pennsylvania. She died on November 19, 1869 at the age of 70 in Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky. She was buried on November 30, 1869 in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky. That Elizabeth's surname is "Custer" is speculative, based on a rootsweb.com entry for a marriage to a James D. Ashcomb. This needs to be confirmed.

James ASHCOM and Elizabeth CUSTER had the following children:

104 i. John ASHCOM was born in 1819. 105 ii. William ASHCOM was born in 1821. 106 iii. Susannah ASHCOM was born in 1821. +107 iv. Mary ASHCOM, born November 25, 1825, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania; married Lorenzo PELTON, October 17, 1844, Pittsburg, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania; died February 1, 1899, Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky. +108 v.

The Peltons were very interconnected with the James Ashcom family, Thomas and Hugh's sister, Mary, marrying Lorenzo Pelton. 110 vii. Hugh ASHCOM was born in 1835. According to the 1850 Census of Derry, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania, a Thomas, age 18, and a Hugh, age 15, lived with Laurence Pelton and his family. The Peltons were very interconnected with the James Ashcom family, Thomas and Hugh's sister, Mary, marrying Lorenzo Pelton.

54. Amelia Ann ASHCOM was born on August 21, 1790 in St. Mary's, Maryland. She died on January 16, 1885 at the age of 94 in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio. She was buried after January 16, 1885 in Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio.

Amelia Ann ASHCOM and Dr. William Thomas "W.T." MARTIN were married on September 27, 1814 in Somerset, Pennsylvania. Dr. William Thomas "W.T." MARTIN, son of Benjamin Franklin MARTIN, was born on April 5, 1788 in Juniata Crossing, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. He died on February 19, 1866 at the age of 77 in Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio. He was buried in Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio. According to the Biographical Encyclopedia of Ohio of the Nineteenth Century. Columbus, OH: Galaxy Publishing Co., 1876 (located at ancestry.com): Judge William T. Martin was born, April 6th, 1788, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania. He was married in 1814 to Amelia Ashcom, and early in the following year they emigrated to Ohio, settling at New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas county. He remained there but a short time, going to Columbus in the spring of the same year. There he at once established himself, and was a resident of the city from that time up to the date of his death.

In the earlier part of his life in Pennsylvania he had been engaged in teaching school, and in the mercantile business; he worked, too, at his trade, that of a carpenter and joiner. He came well prepared to his new home in 23 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Ohio, and was soon engaged in teaching and in business as a carpenter. In 1820 he was elected Justice of the Peace, holding that office by repeated re-elections for thirty years. He also served for some time as Councilman in the Town Council, and was for a time Mayor of the town. He was for some years clerk and storekeeper at the Ohio Penitentiary under the old regime in the old building. In 1831 he was elected County Recorder, and continued in that office until 1846, when he was succeeded by Mr. Cole. In 1851 he was elected Associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin county, and held the office until it was abolished by the adoption of the new Constitution.

In 1858 he published what is known as "Martin's History of Franklin County," an elaborate work, familiar to and highly prized in all circles. For a number of years previous to Mr. Martin's death, he had been in no public business, except the position he held as Secretary and Trustee of Green Lawn Cemetery Association.

He was remarkable for the smoothness of his disposition, and for his charity for the faults of others; the latter with him was a distinguishing characteristic, and he never was heard to speak in derision of any person, living or dead. His charitable contributions were numerous, and were principally confined to that class of persons from which the world had turned with coldness and frowns. The poor and needy of the city recognized him as their firmest friend, and one of the most touching incidents of his sickness was the crowd of humble poor, black and white, who came reverently to his door each day, with anxious faces, to inquire after the health of their benefactor; and when it was known that he must die, and family and friends gave vent to grief, there were corresponding sobs and tears in many a lonely house, and from those who, like Uncle Tom at Eva's door, loitered near in anxious waiting.

His death occurred February 19th, 1866. He left behind him a widow and two children--Mr. B. F. Martin, Collector of Internal Revenue, and Mrs. Matilda Wright, wife of Smithson E. Wright, of Cincinnati. Judge Martin was one of the most useful, influential and universally respected citizens of Columbus, a complete history of whose life would be a history of the city and county, so intimately was he connected with every public movement.

56. Ann Nancy Reader ASHCOM was born about 1788 in St. Mary's, Maryland. She was baptized on June 23, 1862 in Grafton, Ozaukee Co., WI. She died on December 6, 1874 at the age of 86 in Shiocton, Outagamie, Wisconsin. A biographical pamphlet entitled "The Saga of Ann Ashcom Clinger Hayes Feavel" (1999), by George R. Blake, gives a thorougly researched acount of Ann's life. It is available at: https://dcms.lds.org/view/action/ieViewer.do?dps_pid=IE203672&dps_dvs=1371901261031~231&dps_pid=IE20 3672&change_lng=en

Accordting to http://www.eaves-klinger-genealogy.info/p82.htm#i8445 (2009), Ann was bapitzed on June 23, 1862 in Reorganized Church of Christ of LDS, Grafton, Ozaukee Co., Wisconsin.

An original letter, dated January 2, 1837, written by Wm. T. Martin (Ann's brother-in-law), which is in the files of Historical Society. Pioneer Library, Bedford, Pennsylvania., gave the names of Ann's parents, brothers and sisters, and husband. William gave her name as Nancy, but she was known as Ann. Her birth date is calculated from her pension application, dated September 3, 1858, "Mrs. Ann Hayes, who being duly sworn, says she is seventy years of age and resides in the town of Greenfield, County of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, that she was married to Pliny Hayes (who was a soldier in the War of 1776) in the spring of 1823, . . . that her name before marriage was Ann Clinger." Ann was living with her daughter, Martha M. Helsor, and her husband, Joshua, at that time. Research by H. M. Hegyessy, Jr. (A.G. Mid-West) 1984.

Ann Nancy Reader ASHCOM and John Henry KLINGER were married about 1812 in Bedford, Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. John Henry KLINGER was born on September 6, 1787 in Pine Grove, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He died in 1822 at the age of 35 in Salem Twp., Marietta, Washington Co., Ohio. James may have spelled his surname with a "C".

John Henry KLINGER and Ann Nancy Reader ASHCOM had the following children:

+114 i. Martha Matilda KLINGER, born December 23, 1820, Salem Twp., Marietta, Washington Co., Ohio; married John HELSER (HELSOR), May 7, 1841, Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania; died September 27, 1886, Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania. +115 ii.

57. John Cartwright ASHCOM was born in 1766 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. He died after 1820 at the age of 54 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. That this John Cartwright Ashcom is the son of Charles Ashcom and Margaret Cartwright is per Linda Reno.

John Cartwright ASHCOM had the following children:

119 i. George U. ASHCOM was born on August 8, 1792 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. He died on April 3, 1846 at the age of 53 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland. George died in a fight at Charlotte Hall Military Academy. The following account of that fight was written by Linda Reno and published in The County Times (serving St. Mary's County, Maryland) on September 3, 2009 and September 10, 2009:

[Note: Much of the orginial article consists of quotations from newspapers and other sources not cited. The original article uses italics to indicate quotes from those sources. These quotes may not be accurately shown with quotation marks in the transacription below.]

On April 3, 1846 a meeting to transact business occurred in Charlotte Hall that would result in the death of one of the participants and the arrest of two others for murder. What happened that day was reported in newspapers all over the U.S. as far away as New Orleans, Louisiana and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Those involved were George G. Ashcom, James Thomas Blackistone, John Henry Thomas, and George Thomas. Before the meeting even started, Ashcom and John Thomas became involved in a heated argument. Ashcom complained that William Thomas (John’s father) had cheated Ashcom’s sister in a previous business transaction "to which Mr. Thomas replied 'I am responsible for my father’s acts.' In reply Mr. Ashcom said 'I will not consider you responsible (I will here say Mr. Ashcom is between 50 and 60 years of age; John H. Thomas between 21 and 22) so far as my sister is concerned. She has a son able and willing to avenge her wrongs, to whom I refer you.' Mr. Ashcom afterwards characterized the conduct of Mr. Thomas’ father in strong and harsh language. Mr. Thomas remonstrating that the present was not a fit occasion to settle such matters, Mr. Ashcom said I wish the whole community to know the conduct of your father and spoke of it in strong language"

According to Blackistone, Ashcom raised his loaded whip to strike John Thomas. George Thomas (John’s uncle) intervened, hit Ashcom and jerked the whip from his hand. "As soon as he lost the whip, Mr. Ashcom raised his vest and drew a dirk with a blade some five or six inches long, and pressed upon the retreating gentlemen, making lunges at them, fortunately without doing injury, until they became crowded together at the door, and here, as he had his arm raised and was apparently in the act of plunging the weapon into the breast of Mr.George Thomas, John H. Thomas drew a pistol and fired, the ball penetrating the skull above and behind the right ear."

Dr. John Broome (cousin of George Ashcom but also related by marriage) disagreed with Blackistone’s account saying "The Friends of Mr. Ashcom have seen with regret publications 26 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 circulating through the State in regard to the melancholy affair transacted at Charlotte Hall on the 3rd inst. calculated to forestall the public mind, and leave with it impressions in glaring and positive opposition to the facts in the case. Wishing nothing more nor less than that strict justice be done to all parties to that unhappy affair, I submit the following statement, based upon facts of positive proof, and on evidence of indubitable validity; fully corroborated by the concurrent testimony of the many witnesses present upon that occasion, and by the deposition of Mr. Ashcom himself (taken by a Magistrate of intelligence far above the general order of such officers) when calm, in the full employment of all his mental faculties, and fully aware of his impending dissolution:….. At this stage of the affair, Mr. Blakistone and Mr. George Thomas advanced towards Mr. Ashcom. Mr. Blakistone uttering the following 'I will not allow such epithets to my father-in-law.'

[James T. Blackistone was married to Ann M. Thomas, sister of John Henry Thomas. The Thomas siblings were the children of William Thomas and his first wife, Elizabeth Tubman].

"The reconctre ensured; Mr. Ashcom’s riding whip was wrested from him, and with it a severe blow was inflicted on his head. Mr. Ashcom advanced towards them, Mr. George Thomas holding in his uplifted hand a pair of fire tongs--Mr. Blakistone pointing a pistol at the person of Mr. Ashcom, who (with drawn dirk) remarked 'Shoot--I do not regard your pistol.' At this stage of the affair, (a gentleman interposing to prevent Mr. Ashcom’s advance) John H. Thomas, who was standing aloof some 8 or 9 feet behind Mr. Ashcom, took deliberate aim with a pistol, and lodged its contents in the back part of his head, a little above the occipital protuberance. He fell apparently lifeless; and there lay smothering in his own blood--an upright and valuable citizen--an efficient member of his church--the friend, yet the main stay and support of the numerous poor of his neighborhood. Here I would close, but my connection with Mr. Ashcom requires that I should briefly consider that marvelous card, over the response by the name of James T. Blakistone, appearing in the Baltmore Patriot of the 6th instant, which has been seen (by all knowing the facts in that affray) with perfect surprise and complete astonishment."

Mr. Blakistone continued, "my only connection with this affair was as a peace maker." Now to the proof. Mr. Ashcom solemnly deposed, under the awful responsibilities above mentioned, that Mr. Blakistone’s advance upon him was hostile; that Mr. Blakistone pointed his pistol towards him, which caused him to draw his dirk. The witnesses under examination on the 11th inst., testify that the position of Mr. Blakistone was not that of a peace maker, but that he stood beyond the reach of Mr. Ashcom with a pistol pointing at him; and such most have been the conclusion of the intelligent magistrate, who investigated this affray on the 11th inst., as I have been credibly informed that he was is sued a writ for the arrest of JamesT. Blakistone, for an assault upon the person of G. G. Ashcom with the intent to kill. I will here remark that Mr. Blakistone (from having been for many years upon terms of particular and intimate friendship with Mr. Ashcom, and knowing that he was a man of firmness; that he was a man, who, if circumstances required, would advance with unfaltering steps to the blazing cannon’s mouth) should not have expected to bring such a man to terms of peace by the sight of a pocket pistol."

"In Mr. B.’s card, we find the following words: ‘The pistol was not used until every other recourse had become vain, and until Mr. Ashcom’s desperation had rendered a resort to an absolutely though unhappily, necessary, as a matter of the most pressing self defense.’ To this I will say that Mr. Ashcom has solemnly deposed that he did not intend to injure any of the parties; that his sole object was to show them that he was not to be intimidated by such measures. It is proved by positive evidence that Mr. Ashcom was shot by John H.Thomas, on

27 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 whom Mr. Ashcom made no more thrust or threat. Mr. Blakistone has been for some years practising the profession of law--has been a member of the legislative Assembly of Maryland, and ought, ere this, to know, though he seems not to know, that the act of a third party in the rear shooting a man (who is engaged with two in front) is not so absolutely a matter of the most pressing self defence. Mr. Ashcom still lives, bearing his sufferings with calmness and christian fortitude; perfectly resigned to the will of his divine Master; occasionally expressing the warmest friendship for the parties in that melancholy tragedy; and in speaking of that unfortunate young man who has brought him to his bed of pain and in all probability to his bed of death used these words: 'A man of my age shot by a boy--a boy whom I have fondly cherished and loved as if he had been my own son.' John M. Broome, April 13, 1846.

The April 28, 1846 edition of the Baltimore Sun reported: "At an investigation had before Mr. Costigan, a justice of the peace, at the instance of the parties implicated. George Thomas, against whom a charge had been preferred, was discharged. James Blakistone, at the close of the same investigation, tendered bail. The case of John Thomas was submitted to the Hon. Judge Key on Thursday last, on the affidavit taken before the magistrate. The Judge, without argument, admitted Mr. Thomas to bail in the amount of $6,000. For my own part, we trust that an end will soon be put to further controversy. The parties involved are men of character--entitled to a suspension of unfavorable judgement--and it is essential to the purposes of justice that public opinion should be left free for the impartial action of the proper tribunals. We learn from a gentleman from St. Mary’s that Mr. Ashcom died on Friday morning, having lingered for nearly three weeks after the infliction of the wound of which he died."

The case was presented to the Grand Jury. Charges were dropped against James Blackistone but John H. Thomas was charged with murder. His trial began August 16, 1846 and was submitted to the jury on August 19. "After a patient investigation and full argument, the jury returned a verdict of ‘not guilty’ without leaving the box, and the public approbation of their finding was testified by a round of applause which followed the annunciation." +120 ii.

Eighth Generation

80. Susanna "Susan" ASHCOM was born about 1806 in Pennsylvania. In the 1880 census, Susan (age 74) was living with her son-in-law and daughter in Elmwood, Peoria Co., Illinois.

Susanna "Susan" ASHCOM and Jacob WILLS were married on July 13, 1826 in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. Jacob WILLS was born about 1805 in Baltimore, Baltimore Co., Maryland. He died on May 19, 1879 at the age of 74 in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois.

Jacob WILLS and Susanna ASHCOM had the following child:

+154 i. Jane WILLS, born January 10, 1842, Elmwood, Peoria, Illinois; married William Calson CONKLIN, February 13, 1862, Peoria, Peoria Co., Illinois; died June 27, 1930, Farmington, Fulton Co., Illinois.

81. Samuel P. ASHCOM was born in 1818 in Pennsylvania. He died in 1850 at the age of 32 in Randolph County, Kentucky. According to the Ligonier Township tax records for 1829, Samuel was the son of John Ashcom. Ligonier Townshoip Tax Records, 1829-1842, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvanis, compiled by William L., Iscrupe, Southwest Pennsylvania Genealogical Services (1977).

Information regarding Samuel and his family is conjectural and needs to be confirmed. According to a database of deaths in Randolph County, Missouri (http://www.yggdrasill.net/mgen/adeath.htm) (2009), Samuel Ashcom, from Pennsylvania died in 1850, leaving five children. HIs wife, Polly Cox had died a year earlier. It is ASSUMED that this is the same Samuel shown here.

Benjamin Hesselridge Ashcom's obituary states that he was orphaned at age 10 (in 1850), at which time Samuel would have been just 32 years old. Note that Benjamin's obituary mentions just one sister alive in 1911--Sue.

Samuel P. ASHCOM and Polly COX were married. Polly COX died in 1849. She was born in Kentucky.

Samuel P. ASHCOM and Polly COX had the following children:

+155 i. Rebecca ASHCOM, born about 1845, Missouri; married U.J. WILLIAMS, October 10, 1866. 156 ii. William T. ASHCOM was born in 1844 in Missouri. According to the 1910 census, William was born in Missouri in 1844 and was widowed. He was living with his sister, Susan, who apparently never married. 157 iii. James R. ASHCOM was born (date unknown). +158 iv. Benjamin Hesselridge ASHCOM, born January 6, 1840, Lexington, Kentucky; married Susan E. GOIN, April 25, 1867; died February 22, 1911, Huntsville, Missouri.

33 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 159 v. Susan E. ASHCOM was born on June 27, 1842. She died on July 17, 1935 at the age of 93. She was buried in Huntsville Cemetery, Huntsville, Missouri. Sue could not have been born in 1840, given the date of her brother's birth.

82. John ASHCOM was born about 1819. He died about 1899 at the age of 80 in New Florence, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. According to the 1850 Census, a John Askum, age 33 and a boat builder, lived in Conemaugh Borough, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Sarah, age 28, and two children: William, age 7, and Charles L., age 3. Also living in the house was Sarah Smelker, age 57, presumably Sarah's mother.

According to the 1860 Census, a John Askum, age 41 and a butcher, lived in Conemaugh Borough, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Sarah, age 38, and two children: William, age 17, and Charles L., age 14. Charles is shown to be a carpenter's apprentice.

According to the 1870 Census, a John Askum, age 49 and a butcher, lived in Conemaugh Borough, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Sarah, age 47, and two children: William, age 27, and Charles L., age 23. William is shown to be a laborer and Charles' occupation is unclear. Also living in the house were Charles' wife, Ellen, age 29?, and their son Reuben, age 6/12.

According to the 1880 Census, a John Ashcom, age 60 and a butcher, lived in New Florence, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania with his wife Jane, age 40, and children Frank, age 12, and Mary, age 5. I am working on the assumption that this Mary E., who was born in 1875 (which I know from her tombstone to be the case), is the wife of Franklin Johnson. The 1880 Census record also shows two other children in the family: a William (18) and George (16) Stumbaugh, who could be Jane's children from a prior marriage. (It appears that John represented that his father was born in Virginia; however, the record is unclear and it is possibly, even likely, that John did not know where his father had been born.) The December 8, 1898 issue of the Indiana Progress states that William Stumbaugh and his wife of Portage vistited his mother, Mrs. Ashcom that week at Huff, Pennsylvania, confirming that William was Marth Jane's son from a prior marriage.

According to the obituary of Sarah Smelker Ashcom, she was married to a John Ashcom. It appears that John first married Sarah Smelker soon after Sarah's arrival in Johnstown in 1841. However, according to Sarah's obituary, at the time of her death in 1904, Sarah had been living with her son Charles for "some thirty years". This suggests that John and Sarah were separated/divorced in the 1870's. In fact, according to records at the Cambria County Courthouse obtained by Mrs. Jane Markel, John and Sarah were divorced on May 25 1874. Sarah's obituary does not indicate a divorce, but it does say that John died in New Florence in 1898. I am working on the assumption that this John and the John shown in the 1880 census are the same John Ashcom.

According to the Indiana Progress, John was ill in the second half of 1898 and into 1899. His daughter, Mrs. Frank Johnston and her husband visited John on the weekend prior to March 22, 1898, at his house in Huff, Pennsylvania, just north of New Florence. On April 5, 1899, the Indiana Progress reported that "Mrs. Frank Ashcom" (presumably they meant Frank Johnston) moved to Huff, probably because John was very ill.

Ashcom researcher Robert Aschom believes that John was the son of James Ashcom rather than John Ashcom (James' brother), as indicated here. According to the Ligonier Township tax records for 1829 and 1831, a John Ashcom (Ashom (1829), Askom (1831)) owned 300 acres in Ligonier Township in 1829, although he is listed on the "poor list" in both years as being unable to pay for schooling for his children. His children are shown as Samuel, age 11, and John, age 9, in 1829. (This is consistent with the 1880 census which shows John Ashcom as being age 60 in 1880.) In 1831, a William, age 9, is shown as John's child, although neither Samuel nor John is listed. In 1829, William, age 7, and Mary, age 9, are shown to be the children of a James Ashcom (Aschom).

34 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Based solely on this somewhat confusing and inconclusive tax record, I will work on the assumption that John was the son of John Ashcom rather than James Ashcom. This needs to be confirmed.

Martha Jane GOHN was born on June 5, 1837 in Pennsylvania. She died on May 20, 1920 at the age of 82. She was buried on May 22, 1920 in Union Dale Cemetery, Northside (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania. The 1870 Census shows a Martha J. Stumbaugh, age 30, living in New Florence Borough, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with her two sons, John W., age 8, and Frank, age 3.

According to the 1880 Census, John Ashcom lived in New Florence, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania with his wife Jane, age 40, and children Frank, age 12, and Mary, age 5. The 1880 Census record also shows two other children in the family: a William (18) and George (16) Stumbaugh, who could be Jane's children from a prior marriage. Martha J.'s 1870 age matches Jane's 1880 age and 1880 William could be 1870 John (they called him Wiliam to avoid confusion with his step-father). 1870 Frank clearly took his step-father's name in 1880, but 1880 George is not easily explained.

In the 1860 census, there is a Martha Stumbaugh, age 23, living with a Willam Stumbaugh in Southhamption Township, Franklin Co., Pennsylvania. Relationships are not recorded in the 1869 census, so it is not known whether Martha was William's daughter or, possibly, his daughter-in-law. There is a Michael Stumbaugh, age 23, living in the same household. Martha could be Michaels' twin sister or his wife. More work needs to be done on the alternative spellings of the name "Gohn" in the 1860 and 1850 censuses.

The 1900 Census shows Martha J. Ashcom, widow, living alone in West Wheatfield Township, Indiana Co., Pennsylvania. She was born in June 1839. She is shown to be the mother of five children, four of whom are living. Benajmin Ashcom's family (who was John and Martha's son) (but apparently not Benjamin himself), also lived in West Wheatfield Township in 1900. The 1910 Census reads exactly the same, as the 1900 Census, except that Martha is shown as age 70.

The 1920 Census shows Martha, age 82, living with her son-in-law Frank Johnson and his family in Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania.

Frank Ashcom remembers Martha living with his grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Ashcom, in New Florence late in her life.

According to her death certificate, she was living with her daughter Mary at 316 Marie Ave., Avalon, PA at the time of her death in 1920. She died of chronic dysentery.

Martha is buried with, her son and daughter-in-law, Franklin and Mary (Ashcom) Johnson, at Union Dale Cemetery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There is no headstone.

John ASHCOM and Martha Jane GOHN had the following children:

160 i. Ray ASHCOM was born (date unknown). According to Dr. Frank Johnson, Ray was Mary's brother, although the 1880 census does not show a Ray in the family. It is likely that either Ray was not Mary's brother or I have the wrong Ashcom family in the 1880 census. Ray was an engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad. +161 ii. Benjamin Franklin "Frank" ASHCOM, born April 26, 1866; married Laura TOMB, after November 30, 1926; died August 22, 1947, Indiana, PA. +162 iii. Mary Elisabeth ASHCOM, born September 7, 1875, New Florence, Pennsylvania; married Franklin JOHNSON, 1896; died February 19, 1961, Ben Avon, Pennsylvania.

35 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

John ASHCOM and Sarah SMELKER were married about 1841 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. They were divorced on May 25, 1874 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. According to Joan L. Markel, in correspondence dated September 12, 2002, summarizing a telephone call to the Cambria County Courthouse, whose records showed the divorce of John and Sarah "Ascum" on May 25, 1874. Sarah SMELKER was born on August 11, 1821 in Bellefonte, Center Co., Pennsylvania. She died on July 8, 1904 at the age of 82 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. According to an email from John Ashcom ([email protected]) on September 13, 2008, a Mary Louise Wagner-Leighton told him that Sarah's husband, John Ashcom ran off with another woman to Bedford Co., and had additional children. Shortly before her death Sarah was blind, and John came to see her. She would not let him in.

According to records at the Cambria County Courthouse obtained by Mrs. Jane Markel, John and Sarah were divorced on May 25 1874.

According to the 1880 and 1900 censuses, Sarah was living with her son Charles and his family in those years.

Sarah's obituary, which appeared in The Daily Tribune, Johnstown, on Friday, July 8, 1904, reads as follows:

Mrs. Sarah Smelker Ashcom, after a few days' illness of stomach trouble, died at 12:35 o'clock this morning at the home of her son, Charles Ashcom, No. 40 Cooper aveneue, Twenty-first Ward, with whom she had been making her home for some thirty years. She was in her eighty-third year and was one of the oldest residents of Johnstown.

The deceased was born in Center County, near Bellefonte, August 11, 1821, and was a daughter of Peter and Jane Smelker, deceased. Her father died in Center County about 1829, and in 1841, Mrs. Jane Smelker and her daughters, Sarah and Mary, came to Johnstown to join their son and only brother, John Smelker, who had previously arrived in the city and was working at the time for Cabinetmaker William Orr. Mrs. Jane Smelker died on the Island about 1854 and her remains were laid to rest in the Old Union Graveyard [now the site of Cambria County War Memorial], but were later transferred to Sandyvale. Mary Smelker, married to Reuben Lemon, died here about 1851, and John Smelker, the brother, passed away three years ago in Dodge City, Wis., where he had been making his home since the Rebellion.

John Ashcom and Sarah Smelker were married in Johnstown soon after the arrival of the latter from from Center County, the Rev. M. P. Jimeson, who was then the pastor of the Franklin-street M.E. Church, performing the ceremony. Two sons were born to this union--Charles, who lives at No. 173 D street, Morrellville, and William, mentioned above. Both sons fought in Company F, Twenty-first Pennsylvania Cavalry, during the Rebellion. Besides her sons, Mrs. Ashcom is survived by twelve grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. John Ashcom died at New Florence about 1898.

The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the home of Charles Ashcom, where the Rev. Calvin H. Reckard, pastor of the Cooper-avenue M. E. Church, and the Rev. W. H. Hunter, pastor of the F-street M.E. Church will conduct the obsequies. Private interment will be made at a later hour in Grand-View Cemetery. Mrs. Ashcom was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church.

84. William C. ASHCOM was born in March, 1821 in Donegal Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA. He died on February 4, 1906 at the age of 84. He was buried in Ligonier Valley Cemetery, Ligonier, Pennsylvania. According to the Ligonier Township tax records for 1829, Ligonier Township Tax Records, 1829-1842, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvanis, compiled by William L., Iscrupe, Southwest Pennsylvania Genealogical Services (1977), a William, age 9, was the son of James Ashcom in 1829, although William is shown as the son of John in 1831.

According to the 1850 census, William, age 29, was shoemaker. He lived in Ligonier Borough/Township with his wife "Rebecka" and their children John A, age 8, Catharine, age 7 and Sarah E., age 5.

According to Hedley, Capt. Fenwick Y. ed., Old and New Westmoreland (The American Historical Society) 1918, William was a shoemaker in the Ligonier Valley his entire life. He was a Republican and held various township offices. For a number of years he served as a steward of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Ligonier. According to Hedley, William died in 1899, although according to Ligonier Valley Cemetery, William died on February 4, 1906.

Rebecca LANE, daughter of Thomas LANE, was born in 1820. She died in 1889 at the age of 69. She was buried in Ligonier Valley Cemetery.

William C. ASHCOM and Rebecca LANE had the following children:

85. Benjamin Reeder ASHCOM was born on February 13, 1810 in Bloody Run (Everett), Pennsylvania. He died on January 23, 1893 at the age of 82 in Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. He was buried in Everett Cemetery, Everett, Pennsylvania. The following obituary was transacribed from The Christian Advocate (1893) and was posted on findagrave.com in 2008:

Benjamin R. Ashcom died at his home, in Everett, Pa., January 23. 1893. He was born at Bloody Run (now Everett), near the place of his death February 13, 1810, and within a radius of a few miles spent his entire life. On September 20, 1837, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Barndollar. To them were given twelve children, five of whom preceded him in death, the last, Mrs. A. W. Guyer, by only six days. The sudden news of her death, coming in his feebleness, no doubt hastened his end. He was a born Methodist. His father, Charles Ashcom, who died in 1871, in his ninetieth year, was baptized by Bishop Francis Asbury in his infancy, and uniting early in life with the Methodist Episcopal church, became one of the pioneers of Methodism. His home was the home of the itinerant preachers, and his house the place of religious services until churches were built. Thus, in childhood the son was inducted into the doctrines and economy of the Methodist Episcopal church. The Christian Advocate from its first issue was a constant visitor in his father's home, and after his marriage in his own home. He

37 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 informed the writer that during the period of fifty-five years in which he had been a subscriber but two numbers failed to reach him. In 1845 he united with the Methodist Episcopal church. In his conversion he was blessed with a clear evidence of his acceptance with God, which formed the basis of a consistent and godly life. In his testimony he often remarked, "I have never seen the hour since my conversion when I could not say, "I love the Lord with all my heart and with all my soul." Not only himself but his house was dedicated to the Lord, and the family altar erected. Though catholic in spirit, he was decidedly a Methodist. He loved her doctrines, was loyal to her government, and held in reverence her ministry. His last hours were not only peaceful but triumphant, praising God as long as he had voice. The funeral services were held at his residence January 28, conducted by his pastor, the Rev. J. A. Wood, assisted by the other ministers of the town.

According to a paper by Kim E. Wallace (ed), entitled "Bedford County and Fulton County, Pennsylvania: An Inventory of Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites" (Washington, D.C.: National Park Service), 1994, which is part of the Historic American Engineering Record, published by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, available on Google Documents (2009) at http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:5qL8c4AVctQJ:memory.loc.gov/pnp/habshaer/pa/pa3100/pa3188/d ata/pa3188.pdf+%22benjamin+ashcom%22&hl=en&gl=us:

Ashcom, Bedford County, Pennsylvania is named after Benjamin Reader Ashcom.

Dewalt Leisinger built a grist mill on Cove Creek at Ashcom in 1826. Benjamin R. Ashcom purchased and expanded the mill in the latter half of the century and his name became associated with the place. The Bedford and Bridgeport Railroad maintained a small station at Ashcom between the Lutzville and Mt. Dallas stations. Benjamin Ashcom built a brick mansion with a Second Empire roof on the west side of the mill and there were a few other farm houses nearby.

The limestone quarry at Ashcom was probably used in the nineteenth century by local farmers who burned it in kilns for use as fertilizer. The initial contract for the quarrying was with James Isett of the Pittsburgh Stone and Lime Company of Williamsport, Pa. In 1903, local ironmaker, Joseph E. Thropp began using it to supply his Earlston Iron Furnace, about a half-mile to the east. Limestone from this quarry was used as flux in the blast furnace for the production of pig iron.

The Earlston Furnace closed when Thropp's company went bankrupt in 1924. The Ashcom quarry was eventually sold to the New Enterprise Stone and Lime Company in 1934. The company was founded by Jerry S. and son Paul I. Detwiler and originally sold crushed lime and burned lime from a quarry at Waterside in South Woodbury Township. By 1941 all four of Jerry Detwiler's sons had joined the company and they had acquired a quarry at Roaring Spring in southern Blair County in addition to the one at Ashcom.

During the 1930s the Detwilers began specializing in supplying materials for road construction and also contracted to carry out construction projects. In the late 1930's the location of the Ashcom plant proved very strategic for fulfilling contracts for construction of the Pennsylvania Turnpike which passed just north of the plant. The company supplied cement, sand, and crushed stone for the turnpike's roads, bridges, and tunnels. Two ready-mix batch plants were set up at Ashcom to supply concrete for turnpike bridges.

All of the houses in the village of Ashcom were eventually torn down. According to a former resident, they were made uninhabitable by the dust from the rock crushers New Enterprise installed at the site.

The Ashcom Mill is the only surviving building that predates the Thropp quarry. It has been incorporated into the plant complex and is used for storage. New Enterprise Stone and Lime continues to use the site on a much reduced scale.

The following obituary for Charles was obtained from Carroll in 2006 without citation (but it is believed to be accurate):

Charles W. Ashcom died at his residence on East Main Street, on Tuesday morning, May eighth 1894 aged 74 years 11months and 18 days. Mr. Ashcom's death closed an eventful and active life. He was a native of Bedford county his father Charles Ashcom, having been one of the early settlers of the county. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm near Everett now owned by Lewis Piper. He subsequently engaged in clerking and it was while thus engaged at Bedford Forge that he was married to Mary A. Smith, December 25, 1843 by Rev M. A. Tuner at the Piper homestead, on Yellow Creek. Soon after his marriage he went to Woodbury where he engaged in the mercantile business with James Kay from Woodbury he went to Martinsburg where he also engaged in the mercantile business until 1856, when he removed to Hopewell and became a member of the firm Barndollar, Lowery and Company In 1857 with Gilliard Dock, he purchased the Hopewell machine shops which at that time furnished the repairs for the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad. He continued at this business until 1885 (must be a typo in the paper on the date), during which time he took an active part in politics and in 1860 was elected to the legislature from this district, then composed of Bedford, Somerset, Fulton Counties. His colleague being E. M. Shrock of Somerset County. In 1867, he was appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the 16th District comprising the counties of Adams, Franklin, Fulton, Bedford and Somerset. This position he retained until 1872. He always took a leading part in politics and was for many years Justice of the Peace and filled a number of other local offices. A voted for over fifty years he never missed an election. He served as Chairman of the Republican County Committee several times always leading the party to victory. He was also a member of a number of State conventions and often served as a Senatorial or Congressional Conferee and was thus for many years prominently identified with both local and State Politics forming intimate acquaintance with many noted men among whom was Simon Cameron, who was always his firm friend. In the fall of 1885, Mr. Ashcom removed to Everett and engaged in the insurance business at which time he continued until the time of his death, being the senior member of the firm of Ashcom & Garber. He was filled a number of local offices during his residence in Everett and the last election was elected Tax Collector for the borough. He leaves to

41 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 survive him an aged widow, two sons, Hon E. S. Ashcom and F. J. Ashcom of Riddlesburg and four daughters Mrs. J. R. Akers of Philadelphia, Mrs. William Lauder of Riddlesburg, Mrs. William Kelly of Vulcan, Michigan and Miss Ada Ashcom of Curwensville, one son W. C. Ashcom died September 18, 1892.

In early life Mr. Ashcom, his parents being Methodists, identified himself with that church, and has all his life been faithful in the performance of his religious duties, at all times willing to take part in any measure tending to promote the interest of his Master. When Lay delegates were first admitted to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1872, which met in Brooklyn, New York, Mrs. Ashcom's valuable services to the church were recognized at the Lay Electoral Conference, and he and Gen John Patton were elected delegates being the first two Lay delegates to the General Conference from Central Pennsylvania Conference. That he loved his church was evident from the pleasure he derived in attending to its various duties and it was only when prevented by sickness that he was missed for his place at the divine worship. He has been a Class Leader for over fifty years, Sunday School Superintendent, and teacher for many years, and none could have been more faithful to the sacred trust than he. He has filled all the various offices of the church, being steward for over half a century and trustee for nearly the same length of time.

Though a devote Methodist he was no bigot and had that reverence for all other Christian denominations for which the true Christian is characterized. Though ailing for many weeks it was only until a short time before his death that his condition became serious, but when the end came the grief of love ones was assuaged by the blessed assurance that this kind, loving husband and father, who had lived beyond the allotted time of man, could calmly close his eyes to the scenes of this work to be transported to that bright celestial shore, where from the Master he so devoutly followed he would be welcomed by the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the Joys of thy Lord.

Funeral Services will be held today (Friday) in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 1 o'clock pm in Mt Moriah Lodge, F & AM of Huntingdon, Allaquippa Lodge IOOF of Hopewell and Everett Lodge IOGT will attend the funeral as the deceased was an honored and faithful member of these orders. The Mason and Odd Fellows of Everett and vicinity, will join with their brethren in paying this last tribute respect to the deceased.

Charles Wesley ASHCOM and Mary Ann SMITH were married on December 25, 1843 in Woodbury, Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. Mary Ann SMITH, daughter of John WHEELER and Elizabeth PIPER, was born on November 14, 1821. She died on February 13, 1909 at the age of 87. She was buried in Everett Cemetery, Everett, PA. The following obituary was obtained from The Bedford Gazette, Bedford, Pennsylvania, and was transcribed by Sheryl Kelso and made available on pa-roots.org (http://www.pa-roots.org/data/read.php?52,563149,563149#msg-563149):

Friday, February 19, 1909 - Mary A. Ashcom was born November 14, 1821, at Pipers and died February 13 at the home of her son-in-law, Col. William Lauder at Riddlesburg in her 87th year.

Her parents were John Wheeler and Elizabeth (Piper) Smith and she was married to Charles W. Ashcom on December 25, 1843, at Woodbury. She was the mother of seven children, five of whom survive: Ed. S. Ashcom of Dayton, O.; Mrs. William Lauder of Riddlesburg; Mrs. William Kelly of Valceen, Mich.; Mrs. Clara Akers of Youngstown, O.; and Miss Ada Ashcom of New York City. One sister, Mrs. Dr. Henry of Everett, also survives.

Funeral services were held on Tuesday at the home of Mr. Lauder, where the deceased had made her home for the last 15 years. Rev. R. H. Colburn was the officiating clergyman. After the services at the house the remains were taken to Everett for interment.

Mrs. Ashcom was one of the landmarks of Bedford County. Her grandfather, Col. John Piper, and his father,

42 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 James Piper, were noted in Colonial and Revolutionary times, both holding high offices in the commonwealth. James Piper was one of the original settlers in Bedford County and built what was known as Fort Piper, which is still standing. Her grandfather on her father's side was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. C. W. Ashcom, her husband, died in 1874. He was a member of the Legislature, Collector of Internal Revenue and, with General Patton, was the first lay delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Church. His father was also one of the early settlers of Bedford County near Bloody Run and was baptized by the immortal Wesley. On all sides of the house and in her married life she is perhaps one of the leading historical lives of this county, and with her passes away from Bedford County the connecting link of the Colonial and Revolutionary times.

"Grandmother" Ashcom, as she was known by both young and old, was loved and respected by all. She will be missed in the home, in the church and in the community.

According to The Everett Press and Leader, May 6, 1892:

Dr. Ashcom was born near Everett, on the farm now owned by Lewis Piper, where his early life was spent. He taught school for several terms before reaching his majority. Having a desire to enter the medical profession, he studied medicine under Dr. George Hamill, of Bedford and graduated from Columbia Medical College, Washington D. C., in March 1845. His first location was in Allenville, Mifflin county, where he practiced several years. From Allenville he removed to Marklesburg, Huntingdon county and after a stay of a number of years, came to Woodbury, and from there to Hopewell where he remained until 1862, when he was commissioned as army surgeon and sent to Newburg, North Carolina, where he was assigned by Gen. Burnside to the 21st Massachusetts. Failing health caused him to procure a furlough in July of the same year.

In September following, he was commissioned as surgeon of the 116th Pennsylvania Regiment. He was subsequently surgeon of an emergency regiment in Baltimore and was from there assigned to the 54th Pennsylvania and remained with them until the close of the war.

In July 1865 he removed to Renova and was apointed surgeon of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, by Col. J. G. Laurance, superintendant of the Middle Division. He remained in Renova from that time until last October, with the exception of about 18 months, which he spent in Pueblo, Colorado, thinking the climate of that state would improve his health. His hopes were not realized and he returned to Renova October 1st, 1891, he came to Everett, hoping the change would benefit his health, but again his hopes were not realized and he gradually grew worse until the end came. His health failed in 1884, since which time he has been unable to follow his chosen profession. He was an able and eminent physician and was a frequent contributor to the columns of medical journals.

During his stay in Allenville, he was married to Miss Nannie Bell, who with two sons and one daughter survives him, six children having preceded him into the spirit land. He was the fourth son of Charles Ashcom and is survived by his three older brothers, B. R., George B. and C. W. Ashcom, also two sisters, Mrs. Everhart, of Martinsburg and Miss Kate Ashcom of this place.

At the age of fifteen years he was admitted to membership in the M. E. church and for over half a century, was a faithful and uncompromising Christian. He never failed to oppose what he believed to be wrong, no matter how strong the opposition and nothing could swerve him from what he felt to be his duty as a Christian. Although a great sufferer for years he bore his sufferings meekly and did not fear the end, knowing that He whom he had

45 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 served and trusted, would not desert him an that his final summons would call him to that blessed home where "sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more."

The funeral services were held in the Methodist church and were conducted by Rev. Woods, who preached the sermon. Revs. Baughman and Line, were present and assisted in the services. The Odd Fellows Lodge of Everett, turned out in a body and conducted the funeral services of the order at the grave. The Grand Army Post also turned out in a body.

According to Rich Goms ([email protected]), Rebecca's parents, James and Elizabeth Ashcom, joined the Baptist Church in Valparaiso in 1859. In 1885, after her divorce from John and her remarriage to James Pierce, the Valparaiso newspaper reported that J.D. Morris (of Kirkland, IL), son, and Carrie M. Pelton (of Louisville, KY), her niece, came to visit her in Valparaiso. According to a cousin, Rebecca was very close to her niece, Carrie.

49 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

When Rebecca Pierce died in Valparaiso, Indiana in 1897, she was buried in Kirkland, IL and later J.D. Morris and his family were buried in the same plot.

Rebecca Morris is listed in the 1929 Illinois Roll of Honor for her work as a Civil War nurse.

Rebecca Elizabeth ASHCOM and John F. MORRIS were married about 1847 in Herminie, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. They were divorced about 1871. John F. MORRIS was born in 1820 in Ceres, Allegany Co., New York. He died on January 2, 1891 at the age of 71 in Leavenworth, Kansas. He was buried on January 4, 1891 in Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery, Fort Leavenworth, Leavenworth Co., Kansas. According to Rich Goms ([email protected]), John and Rebecca were married in 1846 in Pennsylvania. John's brother, Rev. Samuel Dexter Morris (also of Mckean Co., PA), and his family were living in Derry Twp. and preached at the local Baptist churches in Westmoreland, Allegheny and Jefferson Counties in the 1840's. In fact he was a pastor at the Little Sewickly Baptist Church in Herminie (now Mars Hill Baptist Church in Irwin) in 1846 and 1848. Their christening, marriage and death records were destroyed in a fire in the 1950's. John's brother is where the "Dexter" in Joseph Dexter "J.D." Morris, Rebecca's oldest child, comes from. The marriage and christenings of at least the first two children may have occurred in his churches. John F. and Samuel's father, John Morris, died in 1852 and Samuel had to return to McKean County.

John and Rebecca arrived in Valparaiso, Indiana in 1859.

John was one of the first to enlist in the Union Army on Apr 18, 1861 in the 15th Regiment, Indiana Infantry Volunteers, Co. C, as a Private at Camp Tippicanoe in Lafayette, IN. He was mustered in on Jun 14, 1861. He was discharged in Silver Springs, TN on Nov 16, 1862. He re-enlisted on Jul 3, 1863 in Co. H, 199th Regmt (7th Indiana Cavalry), Indiana Volunteers as a sergeant. Gen'l George A. Custer was their commander for a time (refer to the book, 7th Indiana Cavalry in the Valparaiso Public Library). He was mustered in on 5 Sep 1863. He was discharged at Washington USA General Hospital at Memphis, TN on Jul 27, 1865. He was in the battles of Okalona, Guntown (Brice's Cross Roads), Osage, and Big Blue.

Returning home from the war, according to the local newspaper, their were few jobs for returning vets, and a great reinlistment program. He had suffered a hernia during his infantry stint, so he reinlisted in the cavalry. He was a house carpenter (joiner), so this was probably a relief to him. During this time, Rebecca had been living at home and working as a nurse. Reuben, Charles and Mary were still living at home. Mary Elizabeth Morris, was only six when the war ended. A large contingent of Union soldiers was stationed at Valparaiso for a time according to a monument and park at the edge of town. John returned home and lived with Rebecca for five years, until she divorced him in 1870 (unknown reason - no divorce record, only a 1871 land record that shows her divorced the previous year). He returned home with physical problems from disease and malnutrition that eventually killed him. His 1882 pension application stated that he had been in Chicago, Ohio, Kansas and Indiana since the war. He was probably traveling to find construction work, so these physical problems apparently did not slow him down much.

Rebecca remarried in 1876 in Valparaiso, and John in 1877 in Kansas, so the divorce probably had nothing to do with a transfer of affection, and probably nothing to do with his physical ailments, although the testimonies of people in Kansas show that he was not well, and was struggling as a house carpenter. Maybe he came back form the war with emotional problems.

50 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 In 1880, John, although married and having two children in Kansas, was living with his family just north of Valparaiso in Hobart. The 1882 pension record shows him still living there. When Carrie M. Pelton came to visit her aunt in 1885, he may have still been living there, and Rebecca was living with her husband in Valparaiso. All her children were married, having moved away, but some as close as Chicago.

John Morris died of heart disease at the age of 72 on Friday evening, 2 Jan 1891, at Mrs. Butts boarding home in South Leavenworth, Kansas. He had resided at the "National Home for disabled Volunteer Soldiers" since 24 Sep 1887, and was in and out of the "Home" and "barracks" until 1891 for several medical problems. Although he had been dropped from the Brennan Post No. 280, G.A.R. at the home for being absent without leave for eighteen months, "This post took charge of the remains and the burial took pl ace at the Soldier's Home with all military honors."

It is interesting that J.D. Morris of Illinois and Carrie M. Pelton of Kentucky both arrived in Valparaiso on the same day to visit Rebecca.

John F. MORRIS and Rebecca Elizabeth ASHCOM had the following children:

+232 i. Joseph Dexter "J.D." MORRIS, born April 14, 1848, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania; married Nellie P. DUNNIGAN (DUNNING), December 19, 1874, Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois; died October 26, 1924, Kirkland, De Kalb Co., Illinois. 233 ii. James Thomas "Tom" MORRIS was born in 1852 in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He died on October 1, 1897 at the age of 45 in Logansport, Cass Co., Indiana. In 1884, James was a cook for W.A. Mather in Minneapolis, boarding at 305-1/2 Washington Ave. S. In 1887, he was a bookkeeper at the Minneapolis Hospital. In 1888, James was a bookkeeper for the American Hospital Aid Assn. In 1889, James was a bookkeeper for St. Anthony Hospital. In 1890, James was a bookkeeper for the National Protective Assn.

In July 1895, according to newspaper accounts, James became very ill. In 1896, James was sent off to the Longcliffe Mental Asylum [Northern Indiana State Hospital for the Insane] in Logansport, Indiana.

Cass County, Indiana vital records index shows a James T. Morris aged 45 dying there on October 1,1897. His death certificate states that he died of Enteritis & Melancholia. He was buried in Kirkland, Illinois. If buried in Kirkland, he should have been buried with his brother's family in Maple Cemetery, but Kirkland cemeteries show no tombstone or record of burial. +234 iii. Reuben Brinker "Rube or R.B."

Benjamin Franklin Martin, son of William T. Martin and father of Franklin Ewing Martin, was born in Columbus in 1819 and his life record covered the intervening years until April 18, 1904. He was educated in the public schools of this city and in Blendon Academy and, like his father, was several times called to public office, in which connection he did faithful and efficient service for his fellow townsmen. He was clerk of the council from 1840 until 1857 and during this time studied law under Judge F. J. Mathews, being admitted to the bar in 1847. In 1850 he became prosecuting attorney of Franklin county and served for four years. He was a member of the law firm of English & Martin for twelve years and in this connection enjoyed an extensive clientage that connected him with much of the important work of the courts during that period. In 1865 he was appointed by President Johnson to the position of collector of internal revenue for the seventh district of Ohio and served for four years. He was also appointed by Governor Young as one of the trustees for the blind asylum and was a member of the sinking fund commission in Franklin county for five years. His official service was most commendable, for he was public-spirited and patriotic and gave loyal devotion to every interest that was entrusted to his care. He became one of the charter members of the Franklin County Bar Association and was one of the organizers of the Magnolia lodge of Masons. He was also identified with the development of railroad interests in Ohio, serving as a director of the Columbus & Xenia Railroad Company up to the time of his death. He married Cecelia Workman, who was born in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1851 and is still living. She is a niece of Thomas Ewing and also a cousin of the prominent Sherman family of this state.

3 Mar 1911--B. H. ASHCOM DEAD--Benjamin H. Ashcom was born in Nicholasville, Ky, January 6, 1840, and

62 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 died at his home in Huntsville at 9:30 o'clock the evening of February 22, 1911. The surviving relatives are a wife and one son, Roy Ashcom; one daughter, Mrs. E. C. Tieman, all of Huntsville, and one sister, Miss Sue Ashcom of Renick.

Left an orphan at ten years of age the lives of Ben Ashcom and the sister who now mourns the death of a beloved brother, prove what can be accomplished by industry and pluck. They won their way against adverse circumstances and the worldly success of the brother was a source of great pride to the sister whose life has been spent in quiet and industrious application to duty.

Early in life the deceased decided to acquire an education. His few leisure hours were spent in study. In 1857 while the North Missouri railroad was being surveyed and opened from Sturgeon to Macon City he joined the corps of civil engineers engaged in locating the route. While with this road he learned the practical details of the profession, and provided himself with books, from which he learned the theory and principles.

In 1859 he entered Mount Pleasant college and took the junior course in that institution. Having exhausted his means he began teaching school and continued his studies while engaged in this profession. Later he took up the study of law and was rapidly fitting himself for the bar when the war cloud of 1861 burst over the country.

Being of Southern ancestry and sympathies, he went to the defense of the South and enlisted under Congrave Jackson, of the state guard, and was made first lieutenant of the A company of volunteers. On the expiration of his term in the state guard he enlisted in the Confederate army and was also a first lieutenant. His command joined VanDorn in Arkansas. In 1863 he became first lieutenant in Col. Eliott's regiment under Shelby, and served under that fiery cavalier until the close of the war.

In December, 1861, he was taken prisoner and was paroled. After this he taught school for a time, but very soon returned to service under the stars and bars. At the battle of Fayetteville, Ark, he was wounded in three different places and was confined to the hospital for six weeks. He was also in the battles of Boonville, Dry Wood, Lexington and in every engagement in which his different commands participated.

After the war he taught school, principally in Renick. Having saved a considerable sum of money he engaged in business in Renick and was very successful.

In 1882 he was elected sheriff, and after filling this office for two terms he was elected to the responsible position of collector of Randolph county.

For nine years he was connected with the Hammett bank at Huntsville. Mr. Ashcom was a public spirited citizen, a devoted member of the Baptist church, having been converted under the preaching of Evangelist James twenty-six years ago, a true friend, an affectionate brother and a devoted husband and father, truly one of those who belong to the salt of the earth.

His funeral will be held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the Baptist church in Huntsville. The service will be in charge of Evangelist James and Rev. Todd. He will be buried in his Confederate uniform, and the honorary pall bearers will be members of the Huntsville camp of ex-Confederate veterans.

UNKNOWN; died July 14, 1965, Kittanning, 65 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania. +324 iii. Eugene Wesley ASHCOM, born January 21, 1892, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania; married Beulah E. MACK; died January 30, 1973, Newark, Delaware. +325 iv. Florence V. ASHCOM, born July 12, 1898, Huff, Indiana County, Pennsylvania; married Dr. Edward PARDOE, May 16, 1927, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; died October, 1987, Fort Washington, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. +326 v. Mary Grace "Grace" ASHCOM, born November 6, 1908, Pennsylvania; died June 14, 1975, New Castle, New Castle, Delaware.

162. Mary Elisabeth ASHCOM was born on September 7, 1875 in New Florence, Pennsylvania. She died on February 19, 1961 at the age of 85 in Ben Avon, Pennsylvania. She was buried on February 23, 1961 in Union Dale Cemetery, Northside (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania. According to her death certificate, Mary was born in New Florence, Pennsylvania, a small town 10 miles west of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. According to Dr. Frank Johnson, because many members of the family worked for the railroad (her brother Ray was an engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad), the Ashcom family was known as a "railroad family". Interestingly, she signed her mother's death certificate as Mrs. F Johnston. At that time (May 21, 1920), she was living at 316 Marie Ave. in Avalon, Pennsylvania. Mary later lived on Breading Ave. in Ben Avon, Pennsylvania. Later in her life, she lived with her daughter, Emma Johnson Farmin, and did much of the cooking for Emma's catering business. According to Mary's death notice, she lived at 308 Breading Ave., Ben Avon, Pennsylvania when she died. She died of arterioscleratic heart disease. According to her obituary, at her death, she had eight grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Her funeral was from McDonald Funeral Home, 529 California Ave., Avalon, Pennsylvania.

Mary Elisabeth ASHCOM and Franklin "Frank" JOHNSON were married in 1896. Franklin "Frank" JOHNSON, son of Brownlee JOHNSTON and Eliza Ann RAE, was born on July 18, 1860. He died on July 8, 1925 at the age of 64. He was buried on July 11, 1925 in Union Dale Cemetery, Northside (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania. According to Mary Sloan Funk, Frank was born in Undercliff (Etna), PA. His death certificate says he was born on July 18, 1860 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania.

According to a handwritten "family tree" obtained in 2009 from Corrine Farmin, daughter of Emma Johnson Farmin, Franklin Johnson was born on January 18, 1856. He married Mary E. Ashcom in 1896 and they had four children: John Franklin, born August 1, 1897; Ray Brownlee, born December 18, 1898; Martha Helen, born October 6, 1901; and Emma Elizabeth, born January 31, 1909. This source is believed to be accurate.

According to Mary Sloan Funk, Frank lived in Undercliff, a place name in Shaler Township, Pennsylvania in his early years. In fact, the 1910 Census indicates that Frank and his family were living on Old Butler Pike, in Shaler, Pennsylvania, where Undercliff is located, in 1910. Thus, while Frank did not live in Undercliff in his early years, it appears that his daughter Emma, from whom Mary Sloan Fund likely heard that information, did. According to his death certificate, he was a messenger for Bellevue Savings & Trust Co. At his death, he was living at 533 Marie Ave., Avalon, PA. He died of bronchial pheumonia. He was buried from Cray Bros. Funeral Home in Bellevue, Pennsylvania.

The following death notice appeared in July 9, 1925 edition of The Pittsburgh Gazette Times:

163. William S. ASHCOM was born in 1843. He died on June 26, 1916 at the age of 73. According to the obituary of William's younger brother, Charles, William was a Corporal of Company F of the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry and was held a prisoner by the Confederate forces at the time of the surrender of Lee in April, 1865.

According to an email from John Ashcom ([email protected]) on September 13, 2008, the following news obituary appeared in Johnstown Tribune, Monday Evening, June 26, 1916:

W. S. ASHCOM DIES SUDDENLY ------Native and Life-Long Resi- Dent of City Was Ill Only Half Hour ------Civil War Veteran ------Ill for the brief period of one-half hour, prior to which time he had enjoyed comparatively good health, William S. Ashcom, a native and life-long resident of Johnstown, a veteran of the Civil War and retired employee of Cambria Steel Company, died about 12:30 o’clock this afternoon in the presence of members of his family at his residence, 173 D Street, Morrellville, at the age of 73 years, just a little more than two weeks after the anniversary of his birth.

William S. Ashcom was born on Bedford street, being a son of John and Sarah Ashcom. Only one member of this family survives, being Charles Ashcom, of Cooper avenue, Twenty-first Ward.

In 1849 Mr. Ashcom moved to “The Island”, now the Ninth and Tenth Wards. Later he moved to Morrellville where he resided for many years.

With the exception of the time he spent in the Civil War, Mr. Ashcom lived in Johnstown. When war broke out he enlisted in Company F, 21st Pennsylvania Calvary, serving more than two years and participating in some of the most important engagements of the Rebellion. He was never wounded by bullets during that conflict, but received injuries when his horse fell on him.

67 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Following his return from the Civil War, or on July 20, 1868, Mr. Ashcom entered the employ of the Cambria Steel Company, being an expert tool dresser in the Cambria and Gautier smithshops. Under the pension rules of the company, he retired June 1, 1914.

Mr. Ashcom was also a worker in church circles. His first membership was with the Franklin-street Methodist Episcopal congregation, where he was admitted February 16, 1868. Later he united with the F-street church of the same denomination, which later became known as Calvary M. E. Church. He held various offices in the church and for a long time was teacher in the Sunday school.

Mr. Ashcom was married July 3, 1879, to Miss Annie E. Cramer, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cramer, residents of Indiana County, for whom the town of Cramer was named. In addition to his widow and the brother mentioned, Mr. Ashcom is survived by the following children: Laurence Bruce Ashcom, Maude, widow of W. E. Cain, and Clyde Cramer Ashcom, all at home, and J. Edwin Ashcom, of 234 School place.

The death of Mr. Ashcom is the third in that family within a months. W. E. Cain, son-in-law, and William Milo Cain, grandson, died only recently.

Funeral arrangements for the well-known Morrellville resident will be announced later.

William S. ASHCOM and Annie E. CRAMER were married on July 3, 1879. Annie E. CRAMER was born (date unknown).

William S. ASHCOM and Annie E. CRAMER had the following children:

+331 i. Lawrence Bruce ASHCOM, born April 24, 1880, Pennsylvania; died June 30, 1940. +332 ii. Maude E. ASHCOM, born 1888, Pennsylvania; married William E. CAIN, June 1, 1911, Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania; died 1975, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. +333 iii. J.

Clyde Cramer ASHCOM, born October 14, 1890; married Eva LARZELERE, November 23, 1920, Detroit, Michigan; died July 8, 1936.

164. Charles Lewis ASHCOM was born on August 16, 1847. He died on January 19, 1926 at the age of 78 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. According to the 1870 Census, Charles was living in Conemaugh Borough, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, with his parents, brother, wife Ellen and son Reuben.

Charles' obituary in The Johnstown Tribune on January 19, 1926 reads as follows:

Charles Ashcom, G.A.R. Officer Dies of Paralysis; Veteran--Steel Worker, Chaplain of Emory Fisher Post, Was Native of City, Funeral on Thursday--Charles L. Ashcom, prominent in Grand Army circles for a number of years, passed away at his residence, 40 Cooper avenue, Twenty first Ward, at 10:10 o'clock this morning, aged 78 years. Mr. Ashcom's health had been impaired for some time, but he was able to be about until three weeks ago, when he suffered a stroke of paralysis. He lapsed into unconsciousness on Sunday evening.

68 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Charles Lewis Ashcom was born on August 16, 1847, being a son of John and Sara (Smelker) Ashcom, who then resided on Bedford street. The deceased was one of two sons, his brother being William S. Ashcom, who expired suddenly at his home in Merrellville in June 1916, aged 73 years. Charles L. Ashcom attended the borough schools here several years before going to work in the Cambria puddle mill under the superintendency of Joseph P. Layton. From there he went into the steel mill, later the Bessemer department, and was there for some 40 years before he became a Cambria pensioner about 12 years ago.

The deceased served in Company F, 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry, under Richard Ryckman, of this city, as Captain and William H. Boyd as Colonel. William S. Ashcom, the deceased's brother, was a Corporal of Company F and was held a prisoner by the Confederate forces at the time of the surrender of Lee in April, 1865. Charles Ashcom served as Commander of Emory Fisher Post, No. 30, G.A.R. in 1924. The late Richard J. Humphreys was selected his successor in the fall of that year and died a short time later. The Post members then unanimously elected Mr. Ashcom to serve during Mr. Humphrey's term and at the annual election of officers early last December John H Brown was chosen as successor of Mr. Ashcom, who was chosen Chaplain to serve for the year 1926. Mr. Ashcom did not attend a Post session after his election as Chaplain and was not installed.

The deceased was married twice, the first time in 1869 to Miss Ellen Cable, whose death occurred about 50 years ago, and the second time in 1878 to Miss Lucy Mickey, sister of the Rev. Paul Mickey, pastor of the Barron-avenue United Brethern Church. The first marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. B. Dick, of the United Brethern denomination and the second marriage ceremony by the late Rev. Dr. William Lynch, then serving his second pastorate at the Franklin-street M.E. Church.

Five children were born to the first union and five to the second union. Those born to the first union were Reuben and Robert, deceased; William, of West Taylor Township; George, of Coleman avenue, and Clency, of Canton, O. The following were born to the second union: Charles, deceased; Fred, of the Twentieth Ward; Ross, of the Ninth Ward; Florence, wife of George Holsinger, of 40 Cooper avenue, and Andre C., of West Taylor Township. In addition to his widow, Mrs. Lucy Ashcom, and his sons, and daughter, the deceased is survived by 26 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

The deceased was a member of Morrellville Lodge, I.O.O.F.; Pride of Cambria Castle, A.K. of the M.C. and the Methodist Episcopal Church. His parents were among the early members of the Franklin-street M.E. Church, where his brother, the late W.S. Ashcom, was a class leader for a long time following the Civil War. Charles Ashcom attended the Sunday School and church services at the Third Ward edifice, but since moving to Coopersdale he had worshipped there. He had been an official member of the Cooper-avenue charge for a number of years. His brother was one of the organizers of Calvary M.E. Church, Morrellville, and was one of the official members there for a number of years.

The funeral of Charles L. Ashcom, which will be in charge of the officers of Emory Fisher Post, G.A.R., will take place at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, with interment at Grandview Cemetery. The services on behalf of the church will be in charge of the Rev. O.E. Krenz, pastor of Cooper-avenue charge.

Sarah Ellen "Ella" ASHCOM and Rev. Dr. Samuel J. HAYES were married. Rev. Dr. Samuel J. HAYES was born on June 22, 1833 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pennsylvania. He died on June 10, 1897 at the age of 63. He was buried in Coraopolis Cemetery, Coraopolis, Allegeheny Co., Pennsylvania. Samuel was a cousin of President Rutherford B. Hayes.

The following is an abridged version of the article, America's First Patented Series of Bubble-Through Anesthetic Vaporizers: Reverend Samuel J. Hayes' Sermons against Asphyxial Anesthesia, by Bause, George S. M.D., M.P.H., published in The American Journal of Anesthesiology, January 2009 - Volume 110 - Issue 1 - pp 12-21 (published at http://journals.lww.com/anesthesiology/Fulltext/2009/01000/Ultrasound_guided_Internal_Jugular_Venous.7.aspx ):

Samuel was born outside of Johnstown on June 22, 1833. The third of five sons born to Warren and Mary (Bowser) Hayes, Samuel pedaled wood lathes as a third-generation bowl turner. His paternal grandfather had practiced medicine while directing the manufacture of wooden bowls. Samuel's father Warren had simultaneously run the family farm and supervised a wood-lathing factory for manufacturing bowls. Young Samuel completed public schooling before his eighteenth birthday in 1851. Hayes then matriculated about 40 miles west of his home, at the Church of the United Brethren of Christ's Mount Pleasant College, where he prepared for careers in preaching and teaching. Hayes endured a severe struggle to gain an education. He paid his way by work at school and money earned by teaching during vacations.

By 1859, Rev. Hayes was supervising the renowned Ligonier Academy, just 23 miles from his alma mater. Over many years in Ligonier as a school principal weekdays and as a UBC minister on weekends, Hayes began investigating dentistry as a career alternative. Ligonier's leading dentist was Hayes' brother-in-law, John 71 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Ashcom, D.D.S. (Dentist, Ligonier, Pennsylvania; 1841-1897). Like many of Ligonier's businessmen and professionals, Dr. Ashcom was a Freemason. Before joining Dr. Ashcom in that secret society, Hayes realized that he would have to abandon the UBC, which prohibited such associations. Hayes converted to the Baptist Church, which did not prohibit membership in Freemasonry. In the meantime, Dr. Ashcom began schooling his old schoolmaster in the basics of dentistry.

In November of 1867, Hayes moved his wife Ella and their three daughters more than 160 miles to the northeast, to the college town of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Nineteen months later, Ella gave birth to their fourth child, William Warren Hayes.

Practicing dentistry by day, Hayes lucubrated at night over Baptist teachings supplied by the nearby University of Lewisburg (now Bucknell). He also assisted with pastoral duties at Lewisburg Baptist Church. In due time [Hayes] was ordained by the Baptist Church. When a church 40 miles north of Detroit needed a Baptist pastor in March of 1871, Hayes received the ministerial call. He moved his family of six over 400 miles northwest to the town of Romeo, Michigan.

In Romeo, Rev. Hayes fell victim to chronic pharyngitis and the associated laryngitis of vocal overuse known then as clergyman's sore throat. This doomed the teaching-preaching phase of Hayes' life and would direct him instead towards full-time dentistry and eventually dental anesthesia.

After leaving Michigan, Hayes returned to Pennsylvania to practice dentistry in the town of his alma mater, Mount Pleasant. While their, in 1978, he briefly served as editor of the Connellsville Tribune,

Late in 1879, Hayes shifted his dental practice to Pittsburgh. In 1881, he filed for his first patent for the Hayes Anaesthetic Apparatus.

Will Hayes apprenticed at his father's dental practice in Pittsburgh for five years. Will also attend the University of Maryland Dental Department in Baltimore, Maryland for two years. Graduating with honors in March of 1891, William Warren Hayes, D.D.S. returned to Pittsburgh. Hayes senior placed Hayes junior in charge of their joint practice, now advertised as S.J. & W.W. Hayes, Dentists.

With his son Will in charge in Pittsburgh, Samuel could now expand a Chicago base of operations in advance of that city's Columbian Exposition. Scheduled for October of 1892, dedication ceremonies for this Chicago World's Fair would mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the New World. In a timely release for Hayes before the Fair, the 1892 Annual of the Universal Sciences lauded Hayes' 1891 article in The American Journal of Dental Science as a paper valuable … on anaesthetics. Six months in advance of the Fair, Hayes filed the patent for his second Hayes Anaesthetic Apparatus; three months in advance of the Fair, he started his proprietary journal D&SM to assail the use of asphyxial nitrous oxide and to promote the apparatus and chemicals supplied by his Hayes Dental and Surgical Manufacturing Company. To Hayes' chagrin, organizers dedicated the Fair in October of 1892 but would not actually open the fairgrounds until May of 1893.

For a preacher-dentist like Hayes, there could be no better pulpit than a World's Fair for spreading the gospel of anaesthesia, not asphyxia. However, just months after the dedication ceremonies, the Exposition authorities barred Hayes from demonstrating his Anaesthetic Apparatus on human subjects at the Fair. An outraged Hayes resigned his space at the Fair by April of 1893, just one month before the fairgrounds' delayed opening. Like Buffalo Bill, Pittsburgh Samuel chose instead to open his own venue outside the Fair. Rather than treating dentists and physicians to a Wild West Show, the senior Dr. Hayes offered them instruction in the Process of and apparatus for generating and applying anaesthetic vapors. Among the Fair attendees would be thousands of dentists, many of whom would attend the World's Columbian Dental Congress. Remarkably, one fourth of America's populace would stream through the Exposition over the next 6 months.

72 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

Just after the fairgrounds opened, the Reverend Doctor's best-laid plans unraveled. Grim news forced his return to Pittsburgh. Will, Hayes' only son and dental partner, had fallen deathly ill. After weeks of suffering and anguish with tuberculous enteritis, Will died of consumption and chronic diarrhea at his parents' residence. About two years after Will's consumptive death, Samuel's health declined precipitously, with a general lassitude thought to be the grippe. Consequently, Samuel began relying increasingly on his second wife Frances to run the Hayes healthcare empire and to edit the D&SM. The church that he had joined in 1873 became the Hayes couple's greatest solace. A free church, Pittsburgh's Fourth Avenue Church had always appealed to Hayes' practical nature. Not only had this house of worship dispensed with pew rents and compulsory tithing, Fourth Church had also supported a hands-on industrial school for teaching work skills to the disadvantaged. Hayes was also grateful to the pastor's wife, a past-principal of Kalamazoo College, for the support that she offered the second Mrs. Hayes, herself a past-principal of Pittsburg Female College.

As Hayes' health declined, his former pupil at Ligonier Academy and previous brother-in-law- the Michigan-trained D.D.S. who had eased Hayes' transition into dentistry- retired without fanfare from dental practice. Indeed, after missing the passing of his sister Ella and of his nephew Will, Uncle John Ashcom readied himself to support emotionally his three Hayes nieces. Meanwhile, bedridden for the final two months of his life, Samuel J. Hayes drew his last breath at 9 pm on June 10, 1897, just 12 days short of his 59th birthday. Although local newspapers cited intestinal disorders as the immediate cause of Hayes' death, liver cancer had actually terminated the Reverend Doctor's life.

By the 1890s, Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Hayes, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, mass-produced a remarkable handheld vaporizer that would challenge the existing monopoly in anesthetic machinery. In doing so, this teacher-turned-preacher-turned-dentist would redefine anaesthesia as distinct from asphyxia. By designing a succession of three different Hayes Anaesthetic Apparatus to safely aerate and vaporize potent liquid anesthetics, Hayes undermined clinical use of asphyxial nitrous oxide and patented America's first series of bubble-through anesthetic vaporizers.

Samuel J. HAYES and Sarah Ellen ASHCOM had the following children:

345 i. William Warren "Will" HAYES was born about 1869. He died on July 10, 1893 at the age of 24 in Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. He was buried in Coraopolis Cemetery, Coraopolis, Allegeheny Co., Pennsylvania. The following obituary was published in a journal entitled Dental And Surgical Microcosm, VOL. III. JANUARY, 1893, NO. 1 [Interestingly, the address of the journal's editorial office is the same address as the home of Warren's father at 804 Penn Ave. in Pittsburgh}:

IN MEMORIAM.

William Warren Hayes, D. D.S., only son of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Hayes, of 804 Penn avenue, Pittsburg, died of consumption and chronic diarrhoea on July 10th, 1893, at 4:15 A. M., at the residence of his parents, aged 24 years, 2 months and one day.

It is not often that a young man with such favorable surroundings and no hereditary predisposition to consumption and yet so full of life, ambition and vim, is taken so speedily and ruthlessly from the work of his chosen profession, as was this gifted and brilliant young man.

He graduated in the year 1891 with honors at the University of Maryland Dental Department-- and immediately returned to practice his profession in the office of his father with whom he had

73 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 previously spent five years as a student and was soon placed in charge of the office and although but then in his 21st year, he soon made a host of friends and with his marked ability and skill was rapidly going to the front ranks of the Dental profession. He had superior mechanical skill developed by his inherent genius, which knew no such thing as fail and which brought him to distinction, especially in Prosthetic Dentistry. Though as a fine operator, he had but few equals.

It is believed, he died a Christian. His last words audibly spoken were "God knows," when presently the expression of suffering and anguish that had been depicted upon his countenance for weeks was displaced with a peaceful, serene expression of joy, mingled with a bright halo of glory, when the spirit left the body to dwell beyond this vale of sorrow. Besides his numerous friends, who so generously contributed in substantial tokens of love during his illness, he leaves a loving faiher, a fond and devoted mother, three kind, loving and devoted sisters, also, his endeared affianced (to whom he was to have been married in September next), to mourn their sad loss, but not without a bright hope of meeting in the better world.

The following is taken from: Boucher, John Newton, 1854-1933, Old and new Westmoreland / by John N. Boucher. Vol. 4; Imprint: New York : The American Historical Society, 1918., pp. 1096-98:

JOHN A. ASHCOM, D. D. S.--Ligonier has reason to remember the name which stands at the head of this article, not only because it is that of one of her former postmasters, but also for the reason that Dr.. Ashcom was a lifelong residence of this part of Westmoreland county and was known as a skillful representative of the profession of dentistry, a veteran of the Civil War, and a disinterested and public spirited citizen.

The Ashcom family is of English origin and claims as an ancestor Sir Roger Ascham (as the name was then spelled), tutor to the Princess Elizabeth and after she became queen her Latin secretary. Sir Roger is also famous as the author of a work on archery which he dedicated to King Henry the Eighth, who granted him in return an annual pension of ten pounds.

William Ashcom, father of John A. Ashcom, was born in Ligonier Valley, and all his life followed the shoemaker's trade. He was a Republican in politics, and held various township offices. For a number of years he served as a steward of the Methodist Episcopal church of Ligonier. Mr. Ashcom married Rebecca, daughter of Thomas Lane, and their children were: John A., mentioned below; Catherine; and Ella, married Samuel Hayes. Mr. Ashcom's death occurred when he was about seventy-eight years old, and his wife passed away at the age of

Dr. John A. Ashcom, son of William and Rebecca (Lane) Ashcom, was born December 16, 1841, and received his education in the schools of Ligonier, working with his father until nineteen years of age. He attended the Michigan College of Dentistry, graduating with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, and then chose his native county as the scene of his professional career. There are many who can testily that this was a successful one. Dr. Ashcom practiced in Ligonier, acquiring a large and lucrative clientele. and by his knowledge, skill and devotion to duly winning the respect and confidence of his professional brethren and the general public.

In his early manhood, which fell in the dark and momentous period of the Civil War, Dr. Ashcom testified to his patriotism by enlisting, on August 16, 1862, in Company G, One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, for a term of three months, his commander being Captain Henry L. Donnelly. After the expiration of his period of service he re enlisted for the duration of the war.

In 1897 Dr. Ashcom relinquished the practice of his profession, having been appointed by President McKinley postmaster of Ligonier. Very many of his fellow citizens can bear witness to his fidelity in the performance of duty and the satisfaction which his administration afforded to all advocates of good government and all sincere promoters of the cause of civic reform. In local affairs Dr. Ashcom was always active, serving as school director and in other minor public positions and holding election offices. He affiliated with Ligonier Lodge, No. 331, Free and Accepted Masons, being one of its past masters, and he also belonged to the independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Honor. He was past commander of Fort Ligonier Post, No. 324, Grand Army of the Republic, of Ligonier, and his religious membership was in the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he served as trustee, holding at different times all the other offices in the gift of the church.

171. Catherine Amelia ASHCOM was born on October 7, 1843 in Colerain Twp., Pennsylvania. She died in 1899 at the age of 56. Information regarding Catherine and her family was obtained from the obituary of Rev. Asbury Guyer, in the December 22, 1899 edition of the Bedford Gazette, which identifies Catherine as the daughter of Benjamin Ashcom. That this is the same Catherine needs to be confirmed. (Older information in the database suggested that Catherine was the daughter of of William C. Ashcom (b. 1821)).

Catherine Amelia ASHCOM and Rev. Asbury Weston GUYER were married in 1866. Rev. Asbury Weston GUYER was born on April 26, 1832 in Blair County, Pennsylvania.

78 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 According to a post in the message boards of ancestry.com at http://boards.ancestry.netscape.com/surnames.guyer/13.17.24.43.101.102/mb.ashx (copied in 2009), the following material is from a "Manual Of The Central Pennsyania Conference" (no date given):

In 1866 while stationed at Hollidayburg, Rev, Guyer was united in marriage to Catherine B., daughter of Benjamin Ashcom, who resided near Everett, Pa. She proved a faithful helpmeet for twenty-seven years, dying at Martinsburg in 1893.

To them were five children: one son, Herbert, died by accident in 1889 at Bellwood, and four daughters, Mrs.Harry Lindsay, of Bellwood, and Misses Maud, Nellie, and Edna, survive.

To quote from one who know knew him intimately,"Brother Guyer was pereminently a preacher of the Gospel." He never turned aside to business. To him it never lost its magnitude and importance; it was his chief joy. He had preached it nearly forty-six years and in twenty-three different appointments. From Maryland on the south to Clearfield on the north, from Schuylkill on the east to Blair on the west, in all these lovely valleys and pleasant hillslopes drained by the Susquehanna and the Juniata, his voice and his message had been heard, every hill and stream were familiar to him. He had never seen the "inside of a college," but by close application and regular habits of study he had acquired a substantial fund of information. He was one of a family of preachers, all natural orators, and he himself possessed the gift of extemporaneous speech to a remarkable degree. He used no notes. His theme developed as he progresseed, as the petals of a rose unfolded into bloom.

From his home and charge at Duncansville, Blair County Pa., of pneumonia on Sunday, December 17,1899, Rev.Asbury W Guyer, age sixty-seven years, passed to his eternal reward. He was born April 26,1832, in Warriors Markvalley, Huntingdon County, Pa., three miles from Tyrone, where his parents George and Mary Guyer, reared a family of eight sons and two daughters, of whom only one brother, Caleb Guyer, of Tyrone, survives. Five of these eight sons, John, George, James, Simpson, and Asbury, became ministers of the Gospel.

When eighteen years of age, young Asbury was converted at a camp meeting held at Laurel Springs under the pastorate of Rev.J.S. McMurray. Receiving an unmistakeable call to the ministry, he was given a license to preach, and served one year as a supply under the presiding elder on Sunbury Circuit.

Guyer suffered a severe attack of typhoid fever, which so impired his health that he was compelled to take supernumerary relation for two years.

The following biography of Eli was taken from a USGENWEB.com transacription of portions of BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW, VOLUME XXXII, CONTAINING LIFE SKETCHES OF LEADING CITIZENS OF BEDFORD AND SOMERSET COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA, BOSTON: BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1899:

CAPTAIN ELI EICHELBERGER, one of the Associate Judges of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, has for many years been actively identified with the mining, mercantile, and political interests of this section of the State, but more especially of the town of Saxton, in which he resides. He was born January 4, 1840, in Bedford County, which was the native place of his parents, James and Susan (Adams) Eichelberger.

After completing his education, which was principally obtained in the common schools, he enlisted, April 23, 1861, in Company F, Eighth Pennsylvania Reserves, of which he was at once commissioned First Lieutenant. Two years and a half later, in consequence of vacancy, he was promoted to the rank of Captain, and in that capacity had command of his company until mustered out of service. With the Army of the Potomac, to which the Reserves were attached, he took part in the seven days' fight before Richmond, the second battle of Bull Run, and in the battle of the Wilderness, where he was seriously wounded in the left thigh. As soon as he had recovered sufficiently to travel, he was discharged from the service, in October, 1864, and at once returned to his old home in Bedford County.

In January, 1867, Captain Eichelberger established himself in the mercantile business in Saxton, Pa., as junior member of the firm of J. A. & E. Eichelberger, which existed a full quarter of a century, but, by reason of inevitable changes, is now E. Eichelberger & Sons, with the Captain at its head. He has also been actively associated with other prominent enterprises of the county, having been for a number of years one of the firm of Eichelberger & Sons, proprietors of the Hopewell Furnace, and since 1891 an extensive operator in coal, his mineral beds being located in Huntingdon County. For eighteen years Captain Eichelberger served most

81 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 acceptably as Postmaster at Saxton, and in 1898 he had the honor of being elected Associate Judge of the county for a term of five years.

Politically, he is a Republican and a vigorous supporter of the principles and measures advocated by his party. Fraternally, he is a member of the G.A.R. Post at Saxton; of the Everett Lodge, No. 524, F & A.M., at Everett, Pa.; and of the Hopewell Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Hopewell. He is a liberal contributor to religious organizations and an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

Captain Eichelberger has been twice married. His first wife, Helen M. Wishart, died in early life, leaving one son, James A. He subsequently married Miss Maggie Ashcom, of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, by whom he has had two children, namely: Robert, deceased; and Coolidge.

On returning home in the evening he ate his supper and seated himself in a chair. he complained of severe pains in his stomach and soon fell from his chair. Medical aid was summoned but before the physician arrived death occurred.

Here he grew to manhood and August 5, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Jane Clinger, who survives. To this union were born nine children, one of whom died in infancy. The eight surviving are: Peter A. of Clein, Montana, Willard, of Lafayette, Mrs. Harriet Laffen of Roundup, Montana, John H. and Walter of Dacona, George of Denver, Mrs. Grace Cress of Portland, Oregon, Clarence of Forte Scue, Missouri, and Thomas of near Lafayette. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of Boulder, and two brothers, George of Denver and Thomas of Lafayette. Eighteen grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren also remain to mourn his loss.

In 1877 Mr. and Mrs. Murie and their children came to Colorado and since that year have resided in and near Lafayette. He followed the occupation of mining and was one of the pioneer miners and prospectors who have located many of the largest producing mines in this district. He was an industrious man and when 20 years of age was baptized into the Latter Day Saints church, of which until his death he continued a faithful member. In his home he was ever a kind and indulgent husband and father and to his neighbors and friends was ever ready to lend a helping hand.

According to a series of articles in The Facts (Brazoria Co., Texas), published on February 11, 18 and 25, 2008, John was a notorious anti-Reconstrcutionist in Brazoria Co. In 1880, he led a group of 25 men who threatened a U.S. Customs agent named Amos T. Bissell who had made a "Republican speech", critical of Brazoria's reconstruction progress. The articles reference a story in The New York Times on July 18, 1880, which described the incident. That story was followed by several others. The articles said that according to the testimony “of many credible persons” Brazoria County’s formerly dominant class had adopted a plan pursued in certain districts of South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana, where labor of the blacks “could not be dispensed with without ruin to all industries.” The article suggested that Dr. Ashcom already had the blood of at least three persons on his hands. Mr. Bissell filed a complaint that was referred to the U.S. attorney, who apparently ordered the men to be arrested. The article does not describe the outcome of any proceedings.

ALEXANDER PHILLIP CHESLEY (Written by Myrtle Chesley Foulger, granddaughter) Submitted by J. Richard Rowley email: [email protected]

117 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

Alexander Philip Chesley was born in the year 1814 in the state of Virginia. At a very young age, grandfather and his small brothers were bereaved of their beloved parents and were forced to live with an uncle, who navigated a Ferry Boat across the Chesapeake Bay. Being very dissatisfied with his newly acquired home grandfather said goodbye to his brothers and sisters, and was off for Kentucky, where some of his cousins were living. During his stay he became very well acquainted with a few of the sons of Henry Clay, the noted statesman, who at that time was known as a lawyer and teacher of law. Through the close friendship of the Clay boys, grandfather became a constant companion of their father, who had taken quite a fancy to the boy and constantly urged young Chesley to study law. Heeding his friend's good advice, grandfather became a very efficient lawyer.

He soon tired of Kentucky and traveled to Illinois, where he met and married Eliza Haws of Wayne County. His new wife had previously joined the L.D.S. Church and as in the desire of every member of the L.D.S faith Eliza hoped and dreamed of the conversion of her husband. As with most skeptics the reaction was unenthusiastically received. Initially he paid scant attention to her testimony. He was ambitious and wanted to succeed as a lawyer and to follow in the footsteps of Henry Clay. During the course of study and pondering of the Gospel Doctrine, Grandfather decided to put his mind at ease by making it a matter of prayer, as the Book of Mormon suggested. He supplicated the Lord to make it known to him through the speaking of tongues. The following Sunday in Church a man in the congregation arose and commenced to speak in this manner. After which one of the brethren on the stand interpreted it and made the remark that there was a person present who had wished to witness the speaking in tongues as a final proof and testimony that this was the true gospel of Jesus Christ. He then asked that this individual to please stand and make himself known. Grandfather acknowledged his prayer and bore testimony of its answer. This incident resulted in his baptism into the L.D.S Church.

Shortly after this the Saints were driven out of Illinois. At that time he had three children, William A., John and James Chesley. He and his family went with the Pioneers as far as Winter Quarters, where he was married to his wife's young sister, Emily, by President Brigham Young. He left his family at Winter Quarters and came on with Brigham Young's Company, entering Salt Lake Valley in the year 1847.

At the time of his entrance to the valley he was thirty years old, dark complexioned, good looking and strong. He was one of the company's most daring fighters and was often called upon to fight the Indians to protect the more helpless people in the company. He was captured by them during one attack, and placed on a horse between two Indian braves. His strength and bravery soon won the admiration of the Indians, insomuch that they desired for him to be their leader. They took him to their camp and told him he could help make war on the white man. They said they would give him a squaw and he could live like an Indian Chief. He told them he already had a squaw and that he would not help them fight his own people. This angered the Indians; and they tied him up to a tree for the night. During the darkness, and just before dawn an old squaw, who had admired his courage, crept out of her wigwam and cut the ropes, setting him free. In a few hours he overtook the company and went on with them to Utah.

In the meantime, the men in Brigham Young's camp, fearing the outcome of Grandfather's capture, anxiously requested their leader to send a search party to his rescue. Brigham Young, fearing that all of the company might be killed, cautioned the men against it. Brigham said, 'No, men, we will go on, and we will see the manifestation of the Lord regarding brother Chesley'. These words were prophecy fulfilled, for that same night, at approximately the same time, Grandfather was freed.

Alexander Phillip Chesley's name now stands on the Brigham Young Monument. in Salt Lake City, Utah, a symbol of hardships and trials undergone by each member of the company in their course of travel and constant Indian raids and attacks.

After he had helped the Saints with the necessary work of beginning homes in the new country Alexander went

118 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 back to winter quarters to get his family. Here he found his young wife, Emily, had gone back to Potowatomy, Iowa, where she had given birth to a son, whom she called George Alexander. George was born on September 2, 1847. Alexander Phillip brought Emily and her mother to winter quarters, where he remained for a time for the purpose of arranging and getting proper equipment and provisions for different companies that were on their way west.

In the year 1851 Alexander Philip Chesley and his family started on their memorable trip for the Utah valley. The companies had been out but a number of days when grandfather received a message by Pony Express from John Taylor, requesting that grandfather wait at the first watering place for the 'sugar train' that was bringing equipment to start a sugar factory. They were dependent upon grandfather's knowledge of the country to pilot them safely to Salt Lake City. John Taylor had recently been in France, buying machinery to be used by the Mormons for making and refining sugar. Alexander waited two weeks before the sugar train caught up with him. He then guided them across the plains and in this way helped to bring the first sugar making machinery into Utah. The factory was set up in the southeastern part of the valley, was called 'the old Sugar House Plant', and a town was named for it, which is the present city of Sugar House.

He resided in Salt Lake City but a short time when he was sent to Provo to teach school and to make his home. He moved his family and became one of the first school teachers in Provo and was called by his friends 'Squire Chesley'.

In the early part of 1856 he was called to fulfill a mission to Australia. In May of that year he said goodbye to his two wives and nine children, and along with several other missionaries left for California where they were to take passage for Australia. Word was received that the Elders had a difficult time in reaching the Pacific coast, and records of the Church show that the party arrived in Australia, and that he was in contact with his families for about three months thereafter. Then time elapsed and word was not received again, leaving the fate of the balance of his life shrouded in mystery.

Thursday, 24 Nov 1927, Vol 41. No. 29 Page 2, Col. 2-6 and pg. 3 Col.1--OLD HUNTSVILLE LETTER, W. T. Dameron--The Passing Of Hon. E. C. Tieman. November 16, 1927, was a fateful day for Hon. Edward C. Tieman, one of Huntsville's most prominent and highly respected citizens. Little did he think, that never-to-be-forgotten morning to his good and faithful wife, that it was the last time he would ever see her in this life, when he told her he would go down to the strip coal mine on their premises not far east of their home to see how the work was progressing before going to his daily duties at the Huntsville Trust Company's office, of which institution he was the efficient president. That morning Mr. Tieman appeared as feeling a little better than usual and ate a hearty breakfast. When he arrived at the mine, at about 8 o'clock, only his foreman, Frank Campbell, was there. Mr. Tieman kindled a fire in an old stove there. About 8:30 o'clock he complained to Mr. Campbell that he was feeling cold and asked for a shovel, saying that he would shovel a little coal to warm himself up. Just as he commenced to use the shovel he dropped it quickly, raised both arms and exclaimed, "Oh, my God," leaning his side against the coal bank, which he was near when the fatal heart attack struck him, he began to sink slowly to the ground, and those were the last words he ever spoke. Before Mr. Campbell could realize what had happened, and could raise the body up a little, life was extinct. Mr. Campbell then rushed to give the alarm. Dr. Barnhartt, Mr. Tieman's physician, was called, and soon arrived, but there was no hope for the revival of the stricken man's life. The news was gently broken to his wife that Mr. Tieman was sick at the mine, but she surmised that something worse had happened, and with heartbroken exclamation, foretold that the worst had come to her beloved companion. The body was soon removed to the Tieman home on East Elm Street, where it laid in state until Saturday afternoon following, and where scores of intimate friends of the deceased and family of the city and county called to extend sympathy to the bereaved.

120 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 According to the long expressed sentiment of the deceased, funeral services were held at his late home, which was crowded to its fullest capacity, but was inadequate to accommodate all who came to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Many were from Moberly, Clifton and other parts of the county. All business houses of the city were closed from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. P. Davidson, pastor of the Baptist church and intimate friend of deceased. A quartet composed of William Wilhite and wife, Miss Wilma Rothwell and Thurber Gray, sang.

Rev. W. H. Ellington, pastor of the Methodist church, of which Mr. Tieman was a member, read a scripture lesson, made some appropriate and touching comments and pronounced a very feeling prayer. He was followed by former Congressman W. W. Rucker, of Keytesville, in a very sympathetic and eulogistic talk, which touched the hearts of everyone present. Mr. Rucker himself was deeply effected in his eulogy of the deceased and at times nearly broke down. Judge Rucker was followed by a most beautiful and appropriate talk by Rev. F. P. Davidson. Following a son, the services closed and the mortal remains of Ed C. Tieman, a friend to everyone who knew him well, were conveyed to the city cemetery, followed by a large concourse of friends, and interred in the family lot. The active pallbearers were members of Mr. Tieman's Sunday School class, as follows: Prof. J. C. Burger, Tom Patton, Herman Bragg, Frank Raine, Fort Sandison and Willie Sandison. Honorary pallbearers were, Callie Halliburton, Van G. Sutliff, Geo. H. Jackson, Cliff Fleming, Frank Miles and Judge J. T. Epperly. The grave was richly and elaborately decorated with many wreaths of flowers, presented by business concerns, societies, classes and individuals.

Edward C. Tieman was born in Fayette, Mo., June 7, 1867, being a few months past 60 years of age. He was educated at Central College there. While attending school he professed faith in Christ and united with the Methodist church. When a young man, or in 1887, he came to Huntsville and opened a jewelry shop and continued in that business for about 12 years, and during that time studied law and later was admitted to the bar, but did no court practice. Being a strong Democrat, he took an active part in politics. He was a very ardent supporter of Judge Rucker when he was elected to Congress in 1898. After his election the Judge appointed Andy Little, of Moberly, his private secretary. Before his first term expired Mr. Little resigned and Mr. Rucker appointed Mr. Tieman to fill the vacancy, and who held the place for about 17 years, making one of the most accommodating and efficient secretaries of any Congressman in Washington. He became very proficient in pension affairs, with which a congressman, back in those days, had much to do. Concerning pension affairs, many congressmen sought information from Mr. Tieman, for their constituents. Mr. Tieman's knowledge of pension affairs led Judge Rucker to suggest something better for him, which finally, with his influence, resulted in the appointment of Mr. Tieman as deputy pension commissioner, which, in fact, meant that he was the real commissioner, as the head of the department was an old soldier, and spent very little of his time in Washington. Mr. Tieman made a very popular official in that department, and made many friends with old pensioners throughout the nation. After Harding's inauguration as President, Mr. Tieman went out with other Democrats. In 1922, he returned to Huntsville and was elected president of the Huntsville Trust Company, and which position he held until death called him hence. Mr. Tieman was a fine progressive citizen, loyal to his many friends, town, county and country, and stood for clean politics and high morals in civic affairs, and his many friends throughout the county and country regretted to hear of his untimely departure. While his sudden passing was quite a surprise to many of his friends and acquaintances, many of his more intimate friends knew of his complicated ailments and were not wholly surprised when he was stricken down by heart failure.

Mr. Tieman, after coming to Huntsville, wooed and won the heart and hand of Miss Maude Ashcom, the only daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Ashcom, well known and popular people of the county. They were married here June 4, 1891, and lived happily together until death parted them. Mrs. Tieman was a faithful wife and a great comfort and help to her husband along the highway of life. Besides the heartbroken widow, deceased leaves one brother, Charley Tieman, of California, Mo.; one niece, Mrs. Helen Crow, of Independence, Mo.; one brother-in-law, Roy Ashcom, of Miami, Florida, and a number of other relatives.

Laurence (Larry) Bruce Ashcom, 60, one of Johnstown's best-known newspapermen, died unexpectedly of a heart attack at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 933 South Avenue, Westmont.

The veteran writer, a member of The Tribune staff since 1920 and for 15 years its city editor, had been in poor health in recent years but continued to work until two weeks ago. Only last Friday he had paid a visit to the newspaper office and planned to return to active duty in another week or so.

Larry Ashcom had a varied career. Engaged in the newspaper profession since he was 15 years old, he also worked at one time for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and in the Gautier department of Cambria Steel Plant.

In addition to his service with The Tribune, he previously served on the staffs of The Democrat, the old Johnstown Leader and newspapers in Greensburg and Uniontown.

A native of Johnstown, Mr. Ashcom knew his city and the surrounding area, a factor which for many years made him one of the ranking news writers in the district served by local newspapers. He was engaged in editorial and reportorial work longer than any other member of the local newspaper field.

An ardent sportsman, his particular outdoor love was fishing. He spent many of his leisure hours along the streams of Pennsylvania and was widely-known and respected among sportsmen.

Wrote 'Old Angler'

In recent years his most popular newspaper effort was a series of articles appearing in the Tribune under the caption, “The Old Angler”

The Old Angler” on many occasions disagreed with such groups as the Board of Fish Commissioners and the Pennsylvania Game Commission in his column but at all times was interested in the advancement of the pleasures of the average sportsman.

The veteran writer was active for many years in the Johnstown Sportsmen's Association and was one of the organizers of the Johnstown Rod & Gun Club. He was a member of the Daniel Webster Council, Junior Order of the United American Mechanics, and some years ago was active in Johnstown Lodge, Loyal Order of Moose.

CAPTAIN HARRY STEVENSON DENNY, of Ligonier, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, was born in Pittsburg, February 16, 1854, and is a descendant of pioneer settlers of western Pennsylvania, who have left a noble record of service to their state and nation.

Major Ebenezer Denny, the great-grandfather of Captain Denny, was born in Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, March 11, 1761, and was the eldest son of William and Agnes (Parker) Denny. The Denny family are descendants of an early emigrant from the north of Ireland who located in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in the first quarter of the eighteenth century, but soon after became a pioneer in the settlement farther west. William and Walter Denny, brothers, removed to the Cumberland valley in 1745, and located near Carlisle. Walter became a large landowner there. He raised a company for the revolutionary struggle, entered the service and was at the battle of Crooker Billet, in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. William Denny lived in Carlisle. He was the first coroner west of the Susquehanna, and was a commissary during the revolutionary war. His wife, Agnes Parker, was a daughter of John Parker, and granddaughter of Richard Parker, who settled on the Cannadaguinnet, three

136 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 miles west of Carlisle in 1730. Three of the brothers of Mrs. Denny, Alexander, Richard and Andrew Parker, rendered distinguished service in the war for independence. At the close the former settled in western Virginia at the present site of Parkersburg, and the two latter in Kentucky. At the age of thirteen years Ebenezer Denny obtained the position of dispatch bearer between the Cumberland county posts and Fort Pitt, crossing the Allegheny mountains alone and travelling through a wilderness infested with savages, and won the confidence of the officers with whom he became later associated by the intrepid and intelligent manner in which he performed his duties. He later returned to Carlisle and was employed for a short time in his father’s mercantile establishment but after his stirring experience on the frontier, life behind the counter proved little to his taste, and he repaired to Philadelphia and shipped on board a privateer as a volunteer. The piratical nature of the enterprise proved repulsive to him, and he again returned home but was soon after (August, 1780) commissioned an ensign in the Seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, and joined the army at York, Pennsylvania. He followed Mad Anthony Wayne through the Virginia campaign which terminated at Yorktown with the surrender of Cornwallis. His regiment next participated in the South Carolina campaign until the close of the war, when Colonel Isaiah Harmer, being named as commander of a regiment for garrisoning the western posts chose Ensign Denny as one of his officers and aide-de-camp. He served in this capacity until 1793, holding a commission as captain, but filling the position of adjutant and aide-de-camp to Colonel Harmer (late a brigadier-general) and was entrusted with many important missions to the Indians. and was with General Arthur St. Clair when he met with his disastrous defeat November 4, 1791. He resigned his commission May 1, 1792, and settling in Pittsburg, engaged in the mercantile business, largely that of a contractor to furnish supplies to the different armyposts. On March 1, 1794, he was commissioned captain of a company to be raised in Allegheny and especially appointed to the command of Presque Isle, now Erie, where he remained until May 3, 1795. Returning to Pittsburg he resided on a farm six miles from Pittsburg, during 1795 and 1796, and then removed to Pittsburg, becoming one of the most prominent men of the town of which he was its first mayor on its organization as a city in 1816. He was commissioner of the county of Allegheny in 1797, and its treasurer in 1803 and 1808. He was a director of the Pittsburg branch of the Bank of Penn¬sylvania, and of its successor, the Bank of the United States, and filled many positions of trust and honor. He died July 21, 1822, in his sixty-first year. He had married in July, 1793, Nancy Wilkins, daughter of John Wilkins, who was a captain in the revolutionary war, and brother of General John Wilkins, quartermaster general of Pennsylvania. John Wilkins, Sr., father of Mrs. Denny, was a delegate from Bedford to the Constitutional Convention of 1777, but later removed to Pittsburg.

The children of Major Ebenezer and Nancy (Wilkins) Denny were Harmar, William, St. Clair and two daughters. Hon. Harmar Denny, eldest son of Major Denny, received a collegiate education and had a distinguished record. He married a daughter of General James O’Hara, one of the pioneer business men of Pittsburg. who had first crossed the Alleghenies with pack horses to sell goods for a Philadelphia trading house. He, in connection with Isaac Craig, established the first glass works in Pittsburg.

James O’Hara Denny, son of Hon. Harmar and Elizabeth (O’Hara) Denny, was born in Pittsburg, and graduated at Dickinson Law school at Carlisle, and was admitted to the bar at Pittsburg, but at an early age took charge of the O’Hara glass works, the pioneer plant of that industry west of the Alleghenys, and was connected with the business and financial interests of Pittsburg. He served in the Mexican war as a captain of an independent company from Pittsburg, known as the “Blues.” He married, November 10, 1852, Margaret Darragh Stevenson, daughter of Dr. Harry and Elizabeth (Darragh) Stevenson, of Pittsburg, and their children were: Harry Stevenson; James O’Hara, born September 15, 1855, and Francis Herren, born November 28, 1857. James O’Hara Denny, the father, died February 4, 1859.

George Stevenson, the great-grandfather of Mrs. Denny, belonged to a distinguished family in Ireland and was educated for the ministry at Trinity College, Dublin, but not taking kindly to an ecclesiastical life selected for him by his parents, he ran away from home and came to America, locating in York, Pennsylvania.

An Interview WITH MRS. CHARLES W. LINK

(Editor's Note— This interview is one in a weekly series, of residents of Princeton and vicinity. These interviews are not arranged in any special order and are published in the belief that their history and activities are of interest to our readers.)

Mrs. Charles W. Link was born in Paw Paw, Virginia, July 19, 1882. She was christened Margharetta Hetzl, and came from a very old and famous American family which was prominently identified with the early development of this country. Her parents names were Anna Barndollar and John Joshua Hetzl. Her family lived in West Virginia until 1894 and then moved to New York where they lived until 1901 and then moved back to Martinsburg, West Virginia. Mrs. Link first attended the Audubon School that was in charge of a relative of the famous naturalist. Following this she attended the Barnard School for Girls in New York and she completed her academic education at the National Park Seminary at Washington, D. C.

She married Dr. Charles William Link, a leading Martinsburg dentist, November 11, 1903. In 1919 Dr. Link died at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. There were two daughters, one, Winifred Link, who is marred to Dr. F. Gilman Stewart, of Brooklyn, and the other, Elizabeth Jane Link. The former was a Connecticut and Smith College graduate and the latter after her undergraduuate college work at Wellesley took her M.A. degree and is now completing her work for her Ph.D. degree at the University of Pennsylvania. At the present time she is doing substitute teaching work at the Walnut Hill School in Massachusetts.

Mrs. Link moved to Princeton in 1921 with her family and has been living here ever since. She was always active in community and social work, even at an early age. In West Virginia she was Chairman of the Women's Liberty Loan Committee of Berkeley County and it was her group that were the leaders of the drive. She was also Chairman of the American Red Cross Chapter of Berkeley County. She started her work in this direction immediately upon her arrival in Princeton. She became the leader of the Blue Triangle of the Girls Reserve Club. She was Chairman of the Girls Work Committee of the Young Women's Christian Association. She was also President of the Y. W. C. A. and is now the Executive Secretary of the organization in Princeton. She was a charter member of the Travel Club here and was also a charter member of the Berkeley County Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Link was the Dietician of the Princeton Hospital, also the Dietician of the Tahoma Camp for Girls in Pike, New Hampshire. She was manager of the Present Day Club, and also manager of the Peacock Inn. She has been active in Sunday School work in the First Presbyterian Church. For years she has been Superintendent of the Beginners' Department and is now Superintendent of the Cradle Roll. She is the leader of the Third District Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Link is a member of the Princeton Social Workers Club, of the League of Women Voters, and the Borough Planning Board. She is the Trustee for the Playground Committee of the Community Chest. She is Chairman of the Community Playground Committee, and

144 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 a member of the Camp Arrowhead Committee. Mrs. Link has recently been made the Vice-Chairman of the Leisure Home School that is being organized at the present time and is to open on January 19th with a curriculum of twelve courses of ten weeks and will offer supplementary adult education over a wide range of courses.

No sketch of the activities of Mrs. Link would be. complete without a brief resume of her most important work, namely that of Y. W. C. A. Secretary. To attempt to list all these activities would be impossible here but a brief outline would not only be quite in order but without some such resume this interview would be quite incomplete. The Y. W. C. A. not only has a wide range of daily functions such as classes, meetings, social work, and the connecting of many activities of other groups into a coherent program but there are many events and meetings of other organizations that take place here and use the Y. W. C. A. facilities.

The Service League, an organization of young women similar to a Junior League, uses the Y. W. C. A. ofiic. s every morning as a base for their wide and active community work. Some, of the organizations that use the Y. W. C. A. rooms for their regular monthly meetings are the League of Women Voters, Daughters of American Revolution, the W. C. T. U., Camp Arrowhead, Playground Committee. The Girl Scouts use the rooms one afternoon each week, tihe Patrol Leaders of the "Boy Scouts one evening a week, the Good Fellowship Club, the Girls Reserve Clubs, the Glee Cluib, a High School club called the Question Box, and two W. P. A. classes, one in Arts and Crafts and the other in Tap Dancing. There is a Cooking Class by the Public Service, a very interesting class in Clay Modeling, and many others. A great deal of time is given to employment service and last year more than 150 persons were placed. A room service is also maintained for the placing of many people, mostly women and girls, in suitable rooms. There are many open meetings where interesting speakers talk on a wide range of helpful and entertaining subjects. While this list is by no means complete it can serve as an idea of the importance of and the far-reaching influence of the Y. W. C. A. program of which Mrs. Link is the Executive Secretary. While a mere mention of Mrs. Link's activities and accomplishments speaks for itself yet one cannot refrain from the conclusion that so many of us feel that she is not only admirably fitted for her community work from an almost unparalled width of experience but also from an ideally fitted character, temperament, gift for leadership, and her natural personality.

Margaretha HETZEL and Dr. Charles William LINK were married on November 11, 1903 in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Dr. Charles William LINK was born on February 6, 1868 in Duffields, Jefferson Co., West Virginia. He died on July 23, 1919 at the age of 51 in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

February 26, 2007

Dear Becky,

I had a dream last night about your great grandmother, Becky Bleecker, after whom you were named. She was a lovely woman, actually a step-grandmother to your Mom and me, as I am sure you are aware, though we never knew any other grandmother and she was the real deal as far as we were concerned. No one ever had a more caring Granny.

I awakened, aware of a coincidental event in Granny's life and your life, and I'm sure it is why she appeared in my dream. I can't say that your life will turn out in any way similar to hers, but the coincidence of you and Granny both losing your husbands so early made me think about the loss you both faced, and wanting to tell you that Granny not only survived, but eventually thrived. So I dug out some family history, much of it written by her son Tom Hall, thinking you might be interested in knowing more about your namesake, Rebecca Souder Ashcom Bleecker, born March 8, 1889.

Granny was born to Edward and Becky Ashcomb in 1889 and was called Reba. She was the youngest of six children and lived with her family in Riddlesburg, PA. She had four older sisters and one brother Paul, who died of meningitis at age two. The girls were Blanche, Grace, Maude, and Polly. They all went to school together in a one-room schoolhouse. Granny related that it was a steep walk up a hill to the small wooden school building, with a potbellied stove which had to be restarted each morning to warm up fingers and toes. I know you've heard these “deep snow” stories all your life, but 100 years ago there were no busses or SUVs. We've had it easy.

Riddlesburg was the end of the line for the Juniata Railroad so it was a “company” town, with rail yards and employees living in the area. Granny's paternal grandfather owned Ashcom Cement Works nearby. Riddlesburg was also a mill town and the mill was owned by three families including Granny's grandparents and some cousins. I believe Granny's father worked in or ran the company store.

When Granny's mother died in 1900 (she was eleven), the cousins turned the store over to new owners. The Ashcoms moved to the Germantown district of Philadelphia. Father Edward was in poor health and could not work. Older sisters Polly and Grace (ages 26 and 17) opened a millinery shop and were quite successful, their hats featuring fake fruits and flowers with lots of tulle and ribbons. Reba attended the Academy of Notre Dame on Rittenhouse Square. She eventually received a degree from Miss Hart's Kindergarten School, but that was later when she wanted to start her own business.

149 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

Following school, Reba was the governess to the Ely twins, in a wealthy family in Philadelphia. During this time she met Meta and William Taylor who became her very close friends. The Taylors introduced Reba to “Philadelphia society” (quote from Uncle Tom Hall) and to John Handy Hall, a handsome Philadelphia lawyer who worked for Duane, Morris and Heckscher.

John Handy Hall was from Virginia. He lived with his artist sister on Rittenhouse Square and was active in politics, having run unsuccessfully as a Democrat for the State Senate and for Congress.

John and Reba were married in June 1914. They moved to an area of south Philadelphia known as the Girard Estate. Their first son, John Handy Hall, Jr. was born in July 1915. A second son, William Thomas Hall, was born in October 1916.

John Hall was a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard and in 1916 Lieutenant Major Hall joined an Army unit at the Mexican border to stop raids into Texas by the Mexican General Francisco (Pancho) Villa. By 1917, John Hall was sent to Fort Sill Artillery School in Oklahoma and Reba and their two young sons went with him. According to Granny, they lived in a small wooden shack near the base and she always remembered that the accommodations were miserable and the summer heat was unbearable. For Granny, it was survival training.

In September of 1917, John was placed second-in-command of a unit of the Pennsylvania National Guard with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and, early in May of 1918, with the First World War raging in Europe, his unit left for France.

Shortly after John left home, on May 21, 1918, Reba gave birth to a third son, Nathan Bryant. During the war she lived in the Girard Estate with the three young boys. She volunteered at the Red Cross, rolling bandages and packaging supplies.

On May 15, 1919, John returned home to a grand Welcome Home parade in Philadelphia and to renew his family life with Reba and the young boys. Having survived a ghastly year of war in Europe, it seemed as if their lives might be normal again. John Hall returned to his law practice.

One month later, on a rainy night, June 25, 1919, John was returning from a reunion party with his Army buddies. The car in which he was riding went out of control on a road in Devon, PA. It skidded and hit a telephone pole and John was killed instantly.

John Handy Hall was home for just a month and then was gone, and life for his family was changed forever. With only a widow's pension as her income, it was difficult to make ends meet, so Reba decided to open a kindergarten School in her basement. And then, within a few weeks, she realized that she was again pregnant. Feeling that she could not cope with another child, she made plans to give the baby up for adoption to friends, Lucy and Isaac Jeans, who were childless and wanted a son.

That pregnancy must have been incredibly difficult emotionally, but Reba admitted children to her kindergarten program and persevered. When she gave birth to a baby girl on March 9, 1920, the daughter that Reba and John had always wanted, she decided to keep her fourth child and backed out of the adoption agreement.

The Halls continued to live in the Girard Estate until 1924, but Reba grew tired of the dirty, noisy city and wanted a more tranquil environment for her children. Good friends, the Hermans, had moved to Valley Forge and Reba began to look for housing west of the city. She found an attractive house on tree- lined North Church Street in West Chester and moved her family in 1924.

150 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Quite soon, friend Meta Taylor began her matchmaking again, arranging for Granny to meet a widower of her acquaintance, a distinguished gentleman who had recently moved to the area from the south. Each year the West Chester Country Club put on a fancy dress ball, a Bal Masque, and that seemed a good spot for this meeting. Reba wore a black tulle tutu with bells along the hem and, since she had been told that the mystery man was twelve years older than she, the young widow powdered her hair in order to look more mature.

It was love at first sight. Reba and John Bleecker danced together all evening. The next morning, John Bleecker came courting to the house at 532 North Church Street and immediately proposed marriage. Reba was embarrassed to tell him the family information she had not revealed the night before, the fact that she had four young children. That was fine, said John, since he had five!

Reba washed the powder out of her long auburn hair, added five years to her age, and changed her name to Becky, her mother's name and a name she preferred to Reba. Her pending marriage required a courageous new beginning, though much about Becky Bleecker remained the same throughout her life, including her devotion to family, her strong friendships and her determination to persevere in the face of many hardships.

Becky and John Stearns Bleecker married on August 1, 1925. They bought a huge Victorian limestone house with eleven bedrooms on Virginia Avenue in West Chester and named it Bleecker-Hall in recognition of the merger of their two families.

Granny was a devoted mother and later a doting grandmother to a huge brood. She continued to teach kindergarten most of her life, beloved to many, many generations of children at the Friends School on North High Street in West Chester. She baked us Lady Baltimore birthday cakes (with dimes in them) and handwrote skillions of letters to children and grandchildren (without a computer). She moved in for a week to take care of newborn babies. She was devoted to her second husband, John Bleecker, until his death in 1959. She continued to care for Bleecker-Hall for several more years, until she moved to an apartment in Berwyn to be near a train station, in order to commute to the orchestra and the theatre in Philadelphia. Until her death at 84, while walking to town along her familiar Church Street in West Chester, Becky Bleecker remained an interested and interesting lady. In her quiet, gentle way, Becky was an extremely strong woman and a mover and shaker all of her life.

Granny's third son, Nathan, later compiled and published the letters from his father, John Handy Hall, to his wife, Becky during the years he served in the National Guard and fought in the First World War in France. In this publication, Nathan refers to “the happy home life that their mother made possible for [the Hall children] and for the five motherless children of that good, highly talented, kindly and devoted widower she married later in her life.”

Your great grandmother was Rebecca to some, Reba for most of her early life, then Becky, when she decided that that name was her preference. It was the name of an exceptional woman which you can carry with pride and which extends a legacy of strength to lean on. Granny was so thrilled and proud that your parents chose to name you after her, and I know she would be proud of the woman you have become.

With love from Aunt Jerry

Martin Sampson Dies

Head of English Department Since 1909 Organised Cornell Unit That Took Flag to Front in 1917

Martin Wright Sampson, professor of English in the College of Arts and Science since 1909, head of the English Department since then, and Goldwin Smith Professor of English Literature since 1912, died in Latrobe Hospital, Latrobe, Pa., on August 22 of a fractured skull suffered in an automobile accident the day before. He was sixty-three years of age.

The accident occurred during a motor trip with his son, Stephen. They were on their way to Cincinnati, and on a steep mountain grade on the Lincoln Highway near Laughlintown, Pa., a sudden application of the brakes sent the car across the road into an embankment.

Professor Sampson came to Cornell in 1908 as acting professor of English from Indiana University, and soon became one of the most prominent members of the Faculty. He was born in Cincinnati September 7, 1866, the son of William S. Sampson, Jr., and Virginia Ada (Wright) Sampson. He studied at the University of Munich and at the University of Cincinnati, where he took his A.B. and A.M. degrees. He did graduate work in Germany, France, England, and Ireland. From 1889 to 1891, he was first instructor and then assistant professor of English at the University of Iowa. During the following year he taught at Stanford. For the next thirteen years he was professor of English at Indiana.

Professor Sampson made himself a part of Cornell in many ways, so much so that the Class of 1912. made him an honorary member, and he was always seen wearing the class costume at reunions. He edited a number of works in the field of English literature, notably the poems of Milton. He was well known for his original writings, including stories for children, plays, satires, and poetry. He was frequently asked to read from his own writings.

A series of stories for boys and girls, in a volume entitled The Good Giant, appearing in 1928, was one of the popular juveniles of that year. Since January, he wrote for The Alumni News a column, "The Swinging Bridge.''

He was a founder of the Manuscript Club, made up of young writers, and was host to the group at his home each 171 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Saturday evening during the school year. He founded in 1909 the Sampson Fine Arts Prize, given annually to a student who showed the most intelligent appreciation of the graphic and plastic arts and of photography.

In recent years, he conducted a reading course in English literature for students in the College of Engineering. This course was an innovation in the curriculum and met with great favor.

During the war, Professor Sampson was instrumental in raising a fund for the Cornell unit of the American Ambulance Field Service. This group had the distinction of being the first to get to the front under the American flag. Just before his death, he completed editing Military Records of Cornell University in the World War.

Professor Sampson was a joint author with E. O. Holland of a text book entitled Written and Oral Composition. He was a translator of Singer's Dresden Gallery, and editor of Milton's Lyric and Dramatic Poems, Plays of John Webster, Mrs. Gaskel's Cranford, Irving's Sketch Book, Milton's Minor Poems, Shake- speare's Two Gentlemen of Verona, Middleton's Plays, Selections from Milton, and James' Daisy Miller. He was also a contributor to literary journals, and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Quill and Dagger. He was a trustee of Wells College.

He died on August 18, 1913 at the age of 60 in Baltimore, Baltimore Co., Maryland. He was buried in St. George Episcopal Church Cemetery, St. Mary's Co., Maryland. The following story appeared in the column A Journey Through Time, by Linda Reno, Contributing Writer, in October 18, 2012 edition of The County Times, a magazine published in Hollywood, Maryland and available online in 2013 at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/110493908/2012-10-18-The-County-Times:

Robert Martin Bean, born in 1853, was the son of John Henry Bean (1800-1858, son of Robert Bean, Jr. and Eleanor Hebb) and his third wife, Ann Clarissa Martin (1815-1886, daughter of John Henry Martin and Margaret Ellen Thompson) who lived near Piney Point. In 1860 Robert acquired a stepfather when his mother married Edwin Augustus Wilson (1834-1895, son of Joshua Wilson and Priscilla Hebb), then almost 20 years younger than his wife.

Older woman, younger husband, only child and money wasn’t a good combination. Robertand Edwin didn’t get along. By 1870 Robert had been sent off to school and was living in Charlotte Hall at the home of William T. Briscoe. It is assumed he was a student at Charlotte Hall School. In February 1879 Robert and Edwin got into an argument that soon spiraled out of control. Edwin hit Robert with a pair of fire-tongs and then attempted to reach for his pistol, but Robert was faster. Robert fired two shots, one that hit Wilson in the throat and the other just above his right ear. The only witness to the fight was Ann Clarissa.

Robert was arrested but was soon released on bail. At the bail hearing "Dr. T. A. Lynch* stated in his testimony that he probed the wound in the skull to the depth of five inches, and the other to the depth of two inches and failed to find either of the balls, and was of opinion that Mr.Wilson would not recover.”

*Dr. Thomas Alexander Lynch.

The February 21 edition of the Baltimore Sun said: "The condition of Edwin A. Wilson, whose shooting by his step-son, Robert M. Bean, was narrated in our last paper, at latest accounts had shown no favorable symptoms, the sufferer still remaining in a comatose state, without power of speech or ability to make himself under stood. He is supposed to be gradually sinking... It was rumored in Baltimore yesterday that Mr.Wilson died on Tuesday last.”

186 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Subsequent papers noted that Wilson had not died but “is still unconscious, paralyzed in the right side and unable to articulate.”

I have found no record of a trial taking placeand would have to suppose that Robert was not prosecuted as Edwin Wilson was the aggressor.

Ann Clarissa (Martin) Bean/Wilson died at Piney Point on July 9, 1886 and is buried at St.George’s Episcopal Church.

Edwin Wilson died January 29, 1895 at the home of his brother-in-law, John Morris Milburn (married Eliza Octavia Wilson). He too was buried at St. George’s Episcopal Church.

Robert Bean, who had married Julia Gardiner in 1875 (born 1856, daughter of Thomas Warren Gardiner and Catherine G. Ashcom), sold all of his property in St. Mary’s County in 1881 and moved his family to Baltimore where he worked in a hat factory. He died in Baltimoreon August 18, 1913. His remains were returned to St. Mary’s County and he is buried at St. George’s Episcopal Church. Julia and their six children remained in Baltimore.

530. Young Parran D. ASHCOM was born on January 17, 1877 in Maryland. Virginia, Births and Christenings, 1853-1917, available on FamilySearch.org, shows Young's date of birth as January 20, 1877, although that could have been his baptism. His family name as spelled "Ashcum".

According to the 1900 census, Parran D. Ashcom was living with his brother James S. Ashcom (age 38) and his sister Kate G. Ashcom (age 23) in Wicomico, Northumberland, Virginia in 1900.

At home, John was friends with all the kids in the neighborhood, including several mentally handicapped children to whom he gave considerable time and loving and patient attention.

Throughout his life, John was intellectually curious, with particular interests in the Civil War and Lutheran theology. Even at age 85, he was always active, saying “I was never bored a day in my life”, and he is enthusiastic in everything he did, believing that “Attitude is more important than skills.” When asked how he is doing, his standard reply was “Outstanding!” After his retirement, he ran in numerous 5-K races, winning numerous trophies in his age group. John was a semi-talented wood-worker, turning out and giving away thousands of wood crafts over the years, before retiring from this hobby in 2009.

John was a faithful Christian who, especially after his retirement, devoted much time to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Whitehall, Pennsylvania (where he was a member (charter) for over 40 years), serving in numerous capacities, from Sunday School lecturer to fill-in janitor.

Martin Wright Sampson, Jr. July 11, 1914 — June 6, 1999

Professor Emeritus Martin Wright Sampson, Jr., died on June 6, 1999, in Roseville, Minnesota. He was born in Ithaca, where his father was an eminent Professor of English at Cornell. He received the degree of B.S. in Administrative Engineering from Cornell in 1939 and the degree of M.S. from Cornell in 1945, with a major in Industrial Engineering and a minor in Industrial Psychology. His wife, his son, and many other family members also received their baccalaureate from Cornell.

After receiving the B.S. degree, Marty worked for one and one half years as an engineer at the Buffalo, New York Chevrolet Division of General Motors, gaining experience in plant layout, production methods, and industrial organization and management. He started teaching at Cornell in 1941, in the Administrative Engineering Department, which at that time was a part of Sibley School of Mechanical Engineering. This department gradually evolved into the present School of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering, and Marty played an essential role in constructing the new curriculum, teaching a variety of courses. He also played an important role in educating students outside of Cornell. He taught courses in job analysis and evaluation to industrial and labor union groups in several cities in Mexico, aiding about twenty different Mexican firms. He spent a year as a Visiting Professor at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey, as part of a program administered by the Cornell Graduate School of Business and Public Administration, under the auspices of the United States Agency for International Development. In addition to teaching courses there, he advised the Department of Business Administration on curriculum revision and teaching methods. Marty also taught courses at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad as a Fulbright Lecturer, and numerous extension and adult education courses for many American corporations. Wherever he gave courses, he was known as an excellent teacher. In addition to his teaching duties,

Marty served on several college and university committees, and for several years before he retired in 1980, he was Director of Cornell’s Summer Session.

Marty Sampson had broad interests outside of his academic work. He was active in track and field as a young man, and later officiated at track and field events. He was a vestryman and treasurer at St. John’s Church in Ithaca. After his retirement, he served on several committees involved with improving conditions in the Ithaca area.

Marty Sampson was an exceptionally kind and considerate person. After he retired, he was a volunteer van driver for “Gadabout,” an organization which transports the elderly and the handicapped to medical appointments and shops. When students who were sent to Cornell under the accelerated military training program were invited back for the 50th anniversary of the program, Marty was still remembered with affection.

Marty’s wife, Anne Beers Sampson, died in 1987. He is survived by his son, Martin Wright Sampson III; daughter- in-law, Ellen Sampson; grandson, Aaron Sampson; daughter, Debbie Sampson; a brother and sister; and nieces and nephews.

Following law school, the Collison family lived in Wyckoff, N.J., and summered in St. Michaels, where they moved full time in 1991. Mr. Collison was an elected member of the Wyckoff School District Board of Education and a member of the Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department.

Mr. Collison began his distinguished law career as member of the legal department at Colgate-Palmolive Company where he developed an expertise in the field of intellectual property. He later joined with and became managing partner of the renowned New York law firm Nims, Howes, Collison & Isner, recognized as the leading authority in the field of trademarks.

In addition to his remarkable professional achievements, family and friends will remember Mr. Collison as an avid sailer and sports fan who closely followed the Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland lacrosse teams, as well as his beloved New York Yankees and the New York football Giants. He will also be remembered as a man of intellect, great wit, and good humor. He was devoted to his wife and to his family and enjoyed sharing his many memories of Solitude Creek in St. Michaels and a family-owned island in Southold, N. Y., where he spent summers during his childhood.

902. Robert Lewis ASHCOM was born about 1941. According to his wife Susie's website, http://www.susieashcom.com/aboutus_bob.php (2008):

Raised in Albemarle county Virginia just west of Charlottesville, Bob went north to college and graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor’s degree in American Lit. After he and Susie were married, he taught at a prep school in Kansas City and whipped in to the Mission Valley Hunt. Four years later he and Susie, now with two children, moved to Providence RI where he received a Masters degree from Brown. While in New England the Ashcoms started a fox hunt called the Bradbury Foxhounds. Susie was the local DC for the pony club.

Returning home to Albemarle County, Bob started a bloodstock agency (horse insurance, pedigree research, and bloodstock brokerage) and Susie began her real estate career. They also operated a stud farm, which stood three Thoroughbred stallions. During this time, Bob was for three years field master for the Farmington Hunt.

The lure of being a huntsman drew Bob to North Carolina and the Tryon Hounds. Bob was huntsman there for eleven years. For nine years he was also Joint Master. Susie was his first whipper-in.

Home beckoned and the Ashcoms returned home to Virginia where they bought a farm between Culpeper and Warrenton. Susie pursued real estate and Bob became an English Professor at the community college in Warrenton. Bob has been a writer all his life and in 1999 a book of his hunting stories and poems was published by the Derrydale Press. Two years later Algonquin Books published a novel-in-stories called Winter Run which won the new writing award for fiction from the Fellowship of Southern Writers.

Retired from full time teaching and no stranger to the world of country real estate (he was previously licensed in VA and his mother Mary Ashcom was a real estate broker in Albemarle County for more than forty years) Bob now assists Susie in her business by researching and selecting appropriate new listings to send to a list of more than 140 clients and potential clients.

Bob is also hard at work on a novel. The Episcopal church has always been important in the Ashcom’s lives and Bob was recently Senior Warden of St James Church in Warrenton.

'The Lost Hound'

LFCC professor, who rubbed elbows with giants, publishes first book

Staff Photo/Karl Pittelkau

Teaching a literature class, Mr. Ashcom calls Faulkner "the greatest author since Shakespeare." By Kristen Knight Staff Writer As a teenager growing up in Ivy, the Lord Fairfax Community College English professor foxhunted with William Faulkner.

Robert Ashcom shared his own poetry with Robert Penn Warren, the nation's first poet laureate.

Mr. Ashcom became friends with Albert Erskine, the venerable Random House editor who worked with the likes of Faulkner, Warren and James Michener.

On this day, the houndstooth-jacket clad professor, who in 1996 became the first full-time instructor at LFCC's Fauquier campus, sits on a table in Room 201 to discuss literature with his 11 a.m. class.

The students open American literature anthologies to page 1919, a short story by Faulkner.

Mr. Ashcom, of course, talks about the piece and its author with a passion that comes from personal experience.

"Faulkner is like the inheritor of (Mark) Twain, particularly in the matter of race," 59-year-old Mr. Ashcom tells the class. "That's one of the reasons I think he moved to Charlottesville and left Mississippi behind. It got very uncomfortable for him."

The Brown University graduate calls Faulkner "the greatest author since Shakespeare."

The class discussion mingles contemplation of characters and meaning with Mr. Ashcom's own anecdotes about his experiences with Faulkner and background on the legendary author from Mississippi.

Not bad for a literature class at a fledgling campus with 600 students.

But Mr. Ashcom has spent his life steeped in American literary tradition.

Recently the avid foxhunter reached a literary landmark of his own, when The Derry Dale Press in 1999 published his first book, "The Lost Hound."

290 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 The green hardbound, illustrated book includes poetry and prose, the first volume in Derry Dale's "Fox Hunter's Library."

But the book represents more than an ode to the sport.

"(Mr. Ashcom) does the hard things," explains Norman Fine, editor of the collection. "It's easy to tell what happened, but it's much harder to pull out of your head the 'whys' . . . . He grapples with those.

"It's more than hunting. It's more than foxhounds."

The book depicts a "country way of life and thinking," according to Mr. Fine.

Mr. Ashcom writes "powerfully and eloquently on what's happening to our open space . . . . He's seen that first-hand when he was (joint) master and huntsman in North Carolina," Mr. Fine says.

"There's a thread that runs right through (my life) from the beginning," the bespectacled professor explains in his LFCC campus office. He has had poems published fairly regularly since he studied as an undergraduate in Providence, R.I. "So, you see, I was doing all those other things all those years, but the writing has always been there."

Mr. Ashcom moved to Ivy, west of Charlottesville in Albemarle County, from Pittsburgh at age 5. His dad worked as an executive with an electronics firm in Charlottesville, and his mother would eventually become a Realtor, selling farms and estates.

For most of his childhood, he lived in a house on eight acres in the small Southern town, with a barn and chicken coops.

"I just grew up with the literary arts," recalls Mr. Ashcom, whose parents both graduated from the University of Pittsburgh. "It was a household that talked about literature. We all read. And it just permeated our lives."

In his small office, a framed illustration of mounted foxhunters dominates a wall, hanging near a map of England and Wales. Soft, classical music floats, barely audible, from a radio on the windowsill.

His bachelor's and master's degrees from Brown hang on a far wall.

But he's far from pretentious.

In Ivy, he also learned to love the outdoors.

"I was attracted to hunting with hounds for as many years as I can remember," Mr. Ashcom says.

A family in town kept 'coon hounds, he recalls, and a young Mr. Ashcom would go out hunting with them at night.

As a freshman in college, he started foxhunting seriously -- at times sacrificing his studies.

Mr. Ashcom's brother rode horses with a man who also kept steeds for the Faulkners.

At age 19, the natty professor rode with Faulkner, an author in residence at the University of Virginia, just months before the writer's death in 1962.

291 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

"He was the one. He was very . . . " Mr. Ashcom says 40 years later, his speech trailing off almost reverently. "He's the only real genius I've ever come in contact with . . . . (But) we would go foxhunting together and that was all. Warren and Erskine . . . loved intellectual matters. But Faulkner did his thing . . . . And his thing didn't involve those other" discussions.

He remains friends with the literary icon's daughter, Jill Summers.

Around that time, Mr. Ashcom also "began to become a writer," he says. "I discovered English departments . . . were really interested in Southern culture and Southern writing. And I had lived in one."

He began publishing poetry as an undergraduate, "but I was awful interested in going foxhunting."

About a year after earning his bachelor's degree, he married a hometown sweetheart and took a job teaching at Miller School near Charlottesville.

He went back to New England and earned a master's at Brown in 1969.

From 1972 until 1993, Mr. Ashcom remained devoted to horses and hunting. "I didn't want anything to do with education at that time."

After running his own business in Virginia for 10 years, selling horse insurance and dealing in racehorse breeding stock, the family packed up and moved to Tryon, N.C.

There, he served as joint master and huntsman for 11 years.

Then tract houses began infringing on prime hunting territory.

"It was clear in 1994 that one of the problems that the sport was running into everywhere was" home construction. "Subdivisions were taking over."

Now, he lives on a farm in Jeffersonton with his wife Susan, who works as a Realtor.

In 1995, he took a job as an adjunct professor at LFCC's Middletown campus.

He signed on as the Fauquier campus' first full-time instructor in 1996, working for about 2-1/2 years in "The Barn," an old structure renovated to hold classes.

The college's new $9.1 million building opened in January 1999.

And it seems almost every student on campus has had Mr. Ashcom for one class or another.

He has taught 20-year-old Michelle Herder four semesters.

"Since he knows a lot about it, he makes you think about what the author was thinking about," Ms. Herder says after American literature class. "And he wants you to form your own opinion."

She remembers studying a particular Shakespeare poem in one of his classes.

"And he wanted all of us to get up there and just belt that thing out, " she says with a laugh. "He just loves that

292 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 stuff."

"If he loves something, he'll go on and on about it," adds classmate Travis Byrne. "And he likes people to have opinions. He never says absolutely 'no' to anyone, even though it might be absolutely absurd."

Wrennetta Poles of Hume also has taken several classes with Mr. Ashcom.

"He's very good," Ms. Poles says. "He's not afraid of black history. He's not afraid to expand on subjects of race issues, which I liked. He makes it clear for those who don't understand it."

The professor clearly enjoys his job, the students say.

Mr. Ashcom shows the same enthusiasm when he talks about his literary work.

Last year, Derry Dale published "The Lost Hound." And already he has started work on his next book.

"I've been very fortunate in the literary folks I've known," he says, referring to his relationships with Faulkner, Erskine and Warren. "They were a powerful, powerful group of people in the literary world."

He counts Faulkner and Warren as two of the biggest influences on his own writing.

Mr. Ashcom talks about the two authors' literary similarities.

Perhaps in some way it reflects the drive behind his own work, both in the classroom and in his poetry and prose, as well.

"There's a preoccupation with the past," he says thoughtfully. "And there's a preoccupation with community and family. An intense need to explain one's own history. To understand what's happened in the past."

According to her website, http://www.susieashcom.com/aboutus.php, (2008), Susie's parents had her on a pony at the age of 4, jumping at 7, and foxhunting with the Farmington Hunt in Charlottesville, VA at age 9. She attended Sweet Briar College and graduated from the University of Missouri.

Susie owned a real estate office in Charlottesville where she specialized in horse farms and estates. She earned her G.R.I. designation from the Realtor's Institute at the University of Virginia in 1975. In 1983, when Bob's career change took them to Tryon, N.C., she joined Coldwell Banker and quickly became one of the top farm & land agents in the area. That led to a Broker-in-Charge position with a newly forming RE/MAX in Tryon in 1993.

293 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 After a year the RE/MAX office was #1 in Dollar Volume of listings sold and contracts written in their MLS. During the Tryon years, she whipped-in to her MFH/huntsman/husband with the Tryon Hounds.

A return to teaching took Bob to Lord Fairfax Community College and Susie to RE/MAX Regency in Warrenton where she has reached the TOP FIVE designation for achievement in sales over a 5 county region of northern Virginia, and earns the prestigious Platinum Award from RE/MAX Internationaleach year and in 2004 reached the RE/MAX Hall of Fame level of performance. She is a member of the Greater Piedmont Area Association of Realtors, Virginia Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors & Howard Britton's "StarPower" Club.

To this point in her career she has been instrumental in moving more than 650 families. Sellers and Buyers continue to send her referral business as testimony to their continued comfort with her professionalism. Most of these past customers own horses.

In the fall of 2007 she teamed up with an outstandingly successful "boutique" real estate firm in Middleburg, VA called Thomas & Talbot Real Estate. They are staunch advocates of land easements where the owners donate their farm's development rights to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. The owners receive substantial Tax Credits for their gift & and large areas are formed with thousands of acres owned by people who welcome the local Fox Hunt and are actively riding with it.

Like Susie, foxhunting keeps them in balance for the demands of their lives. The majority of Thomas & Talbot Real Estate listings are horse farms and most have historical or substantial houses on them.

About me: I love cutting and making Gems. It is so cool to take what looks like a piece of junk stone and cut facets on it, and it becomes a brilliant gem. My next runner-up is painting pictures. As I have time, I will put some of my pictures for you to see. I love sitting on the deck under the big Oak tree and watch the squirrels invade my quiet zone, but it getting colder and I am getting in some fire wood. I guess my third runner-up is having a good glass of wine and someone to share it with. Will you join me in a toast to living a good life with good friends? Here's to us :)->YY-(:

Who I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people every day. I am an extrovert, stable person who receives great joy interacting with people.

Actress Evelyn Bohn Krise Would `Light Up Any Room She Walked In'

February 10, 2004 By Tammie Wersinger, Sentinel Staff Writer

With her pouty lips dabbed in red and big, blue eyes surrounded by long, dark lashes, Evelyn Bohn Krise looked every bit the part of a classic movie star.

However, this actress' life journey took her down a different path than stardom -- that of motherhood and family.

Krise -- military wife, mother of six, grandmother and star in a New York touring theater company in the 1950s -- died Thursday. She was 73.

[FOR THE RECORD ****** CORRECTION OR CLARIFICATION PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 19, 2004 ******** An article on Page B6 of the Feb. 10 Local & State section about the death of Evelyn Bohn Krise misidentified a character Krise played in Little Women. Krise portrayed Beth. ******************************************************************************

"She was just this vivacious woman who would light up any room she walked in," said her daughter, Valerie Krise of Longwood. "She possessed those childlike qualities that made her a good actress. It also made her a fun person to be around."

311 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013

The elder Krise, who moved to Altamonte Springs in 1977, began her professional acting career at 17. By then, she had graduated from high school early and spent a year in acting classes at Carnegie Tech-Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Her parents knew she was destined for the stage when she started performing at age 3.

She landed the first professional role she auditioned for -- that of Bess in the Clare Tree Major's Children's Theater's production of Little Women.

Her work with the Pleasantville, N.Y., theater company took her to stages throughout the Northeast and netted Krise a whopping $35 a week, out of which she paid for lodging and food.

It wasn't the big money of her movie-screen counterparts, but Krise was able to do what she loved and got paid for doing it, her daughter said.

It was during her early acting days in the 1950s that she met renowned Canadian poet Paul O'Neill, who dedicated a 1982 compilation of his works to his longtime friend.

It was during that same time that Evelyn Bohn met George Krise, a military man she met on a bus on her way to a dance.

"He was driving the bus and was outgoing and popular. She was vivacious and sweet and caught his eye," Valerie Krise said. "They just hit it off and were married later that year."

The couple traveled around the globe and had six children in six different parts of the world. George Krise passed away in 1987. Stephen Krise, her eldest son, also died.

After moving to Central Florida, Evelyn Bohn Krise resumed acting and took on another role -- that of "Avon lady." She reached the President's Club level, which is the upper sales tier for the cosmetics company.

"No matter what she was doing, she wanted to do her best," Valerie Krise said. "My mom totally immersed herself into whatever she was doing, whether it was selling Avon, being a military wife, raising six kids or acting."

Although none of Evelyn's children followed their mother to the stage, she did pass the acting bug along to at least one grandchild. Granddaughter Kelly Roseman, 14, of Longwood performs locally and has big dreams of an acting career.

"Grandma's house was full of magic because she had costumes, and when she read books, she did all the voices," Valerie Krise said. "She didn't just read Little Red Riding Hood. She became Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf and the grandma."

In addition to her daughter, Evelyn Krise is survived by sons Jeffrey Krise and Michael Krise of Burlington, N.J., and Scott Krise of Winter Park; daughter Andrea Krise of Altamonte Springs; brother, Donald Bohn of Greencastle, Pa.; seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

Baldwin-Fairchild Funeral Home, Forest City Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.

337 Descendants of John ASHCOM 12 September 2013 Father, Son Graduate Together Elder Sloan to Receive Masters Degree, Younger Sloan Ph.D. By Peggy S. Chen, June 6, 1996

Like father, like son.

Norton Q. Sloan Jr. '58 and his son, Norton Q. Sloan III '90, already have a lot in common. They have practically the same name and both call Harvard their alma mater.

Now they will have another experience to share: Both father and son will receive graduate degrees from the University today.

The elder Sloan will receive his masters of liberal arts in History of Science from the Extension School. His son will receive his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

They did not realize that they would be getting their degrees at the same time until this winter, said the younger Sloan.

"It was pretty coincidental," he said. "I didn't know that I'd be defending [my thesis] this year until the winter. Then we realized that [my father] had almost finished by then."

After graduating from the College in 1990, Norton Q. Sloan III began working on his Ph.D., with a dissertation focusing a computer simulation of ocean currents and temperatures.

His father, who also has an MBA from the Business School and is now retired from corporate finance, began taking classes at night from the Extension School at about the same time.

"These were courses I found intellectually stimulating," said the elder Sloan. "Then I found there was a masters degree program that I could join, and it seemed like a good challenge."

Father and son have enjoyed their common studying experiences and share a love science, they said.

"It's been kind of fun comparing stories in graduate school," said the son.

"We've both had a lot of interest in what the other was studying," said his father. "One of the things we used to do was to get together for supper before or after my class, and he'd tell me what he was doing and I'd tell him what I was working on."

Today, both father and son will get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The duo plan to celebrate with family and friends at dinner after the Commencement ceremonies.

They have only one hurdle to jump: planning the family schedule to fit in both commencement ceremonies.

"I think we've got it all planned out, as long as everyone sticks to the schedule. We'll be running across the Square to get from one to the other," said the father.

He is President of the Pennsylvania Rehab Group.

The following article appeared in the August 24, 2007 edition of the Pittsburgh Business Times:

Private equity investor purchases Pennsylvania Rehab Group

Private equity investor Chris Cynkar has acquired The Pennsylvania Rehab Group from founder Cliff Milowicki. The price for the Castle Shannon-based medical staffing firm was not disclosed.

Chris Cynkar is president of private equity firm Swisshelm Park Investors LLC, named for the East End neighborhood where it is based, but he bought Pennsylvania Rehab "individually." As president, he will run day-to-day operations.

The seven-year-old company supplies social workers and physical, occupational and speech therapists to the home health care industry. Cynkar sees it as a burgeoning market and wants to expand the client base beyond Allegheny County, but he must get a grip on the continuing problem of recruitment, which dogged Milowicki almost from the inception. Demand consistently outstrips capability because medical professionals are in short supply.

"Cliff has set a really solid foundation with great customers and very loyal employees," Cynkar said.

Although Pennsylvania Rehab posted $1 million-plus sales from 2003 to 2005, its failure to quickly replace a couple of departed employees caused 2006 sales to dip below seven figures, Milowicki said. Pennsylvania Rehab currently employs 20.

"This is a business based on market demand based on what your roster size is," Milowicki said. "If we had 10 more, we'd set a (company) record."

Milowicki, a licensed physical therapist, would jump in and handle assignments instead of running the company, concentrating on business development and hiring. For Pennsylvania Rehab to grow, it needed a professional executive at the helm, he decided, and Cynkar brings a business background to the table.

Cynkar's goal is to add eight employees over the next 12 months. He said an acquisition also is possible, to broaden geographic reach or to add areas of specialization.

Milowicki will maintain an administrative role for the next three months, helping to smooth the transition. He hasn't decided if he'll stay or look to new opportunities.

This is the third time Cynkar opted to buy and run a business. He invested in printing company Shenango Valley Quikprint, Hermitage, in 1999 and sold it in 2003, and he acquired medical equipment repair firm Cool Pair Plus, Herminie, Westmoreland County, in 2001 and sold it two years ago. Pennsylvania Rehab, he believes, will not be a quick turnaround. "The demographics of western Pennsylvania, with such a large, aging population, lends itself to a significant increase in medical needs over the next 12 to 15 years," Cynkar said. "Insurers are increasingly looking to use home health care as an alternative to in-patient care. Both of those are really advantageous for this company and show no sign of letting up in the foreseeable future." Swisshelm Park Investors may do deals, but Cynkar can't see personally committing to more individual investments over the next few years. He will return in November to Carnegie Mellon University's Donald H. Jones Center to teach "Entrepreneurship Through Small Business Acquisition," a course he introduced last year for members of the business community. "We get people who are interested in buying companies, selling companies and some interested in the investment side," said Art Boni, center director. "We've even allowed a few students in the MBA program to take Chris' class. He's done very well at showing how to do what he does. It's not something people think of as a route to being an entrepreneur." [email protected]
