THE CAPTIVITY OF STEPHEN ASHBY AND HIS FAMILY
Taken from: THE INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY, VOL. 9, 1913, PAGE 109 Which was taken from and a series of sketches written by Judge William Polke and printed in the Fort Wayne Times in 1842. Judge Polke knew personally Stephen Ashby THE BOOK OF AUGUSTINE SHELBURNE by descendants of Stephen Ashby Audio Tape of the Katherine Thurman Washburn's story of the Captivity of Stephen Ashby THE ASHBY BOOK by Lee Fleming Reese submitted by Harold R. Coffman (SYCR90A@Prodigy.com)
More information not shown...
His family did well over the years. Beady Ashby became fairly wealth and was considered by all a success. He married Mary Elizabeth Figley. Beady died before his father and a daughter named Malinda Ashby received the "tract of land I now live" from her grandfather. Robert Ashby also died before his father's death in 1831 and his daughter, Susan Ashby, is mentioned in her grandfather's will. Young David Ashby seems to live close to his father for many years. He married Sarah Burnett, daughter of James Burnett and Margaret Robinson. They moved with Stephen Ashby to Christian County, Kentucky and back to Shelby County. In the late 1820's David and his family moved to Clay County, Missouri, and later to Platte County, Missouri, where David owned a farm just west of the present Kansas City Airport. His son, Cromwell Ashby owned a farm east of the present day airport. David died in early 1850 and his wife, Sarah, died in 1853. Cromwell's son, David P. Ashby born 8 May 1851 lived until 1939, and I, Harold Coffman, was born on his birthday and remember him well. But, I never heard of the adventures of my three great-grandfathers David Ashby. How I would have loved the story as a teenager in the 1930's had I known it. Judge William Polke ended his story of the "Captivity of Stephen Ashby and His Family" with these words: "What patriot and friend to his county, will not say that such sufferers deserve the gratitude and bounty of their country?"
