My real life story began Along the Atlantic Seaboard in the Colonies John
Ashley born 1625 and brother William, born in England. They share a story of
love and rejection. They both loved the same woman, Lady Jane Cooper, daughter
of Baronet John Cooper and wife Ann, daughter of Sir Anthony Ashley. It was
decided between them, whichever she rejected, would migrate to the Colonies.
William lost, and came to the Colonies. Scant early records seem to point to
William settling in Accomack Co. VA. My paper trail only goes back to !797
But other Ashley's who match me have a paper that goes back over a thousand
Years . Baron Ashley of Wilbourne St. Giles. in 1662 Lord Ashley and others,
being apprised of the excellent soil of this country, united and formed a
project for planting a colony on it. Charles II granted them all the lands from
Lucke Island (southern Virginia) to the river Saint Matthias (Florida) and
extending so west to the Pacific Ocean, which embraced almost the entire
"Southern States" of today. Of this immense region the king constituted them
absolute lords and proprietors. Anthony died Jan. 21, 1683, at Amsterdam, Holland.
