Ashton: another son & descendants of Valentine?
Ashton: another son & descendants of Valentine?
I googled Geseilfa, which led me to the website of someone in Los Angeles - Alan A Curtis - who appears to be descended from the Ashtons there.
Now I'm left wondering if he is a distant cousin (removed or not).
The oldest ancestor he has is:
288. Edward ASHTON was born in 1756. He was christened on 7 Aug 1756 in Geseilfa, Trefeglwys, Montg, Wales. He married Jane BENNETT on 27 Apr 1782 in Trefeglwys, Monts, Wales.
I don't have an Edward ASHTON of this age in my tree, but as an Ashton, living at Geseilfa (which is a farm), it seems highly likely that there is a link somewhere.
What this link is, is down to speculation, as Alan's site does not identify his father. He seems to be about the right age to be another son of Valentine ASHTON and a brother of John ASHTON b. 1748 - d. 1834.
He also has an Elizabeth SAVAGE in his tree, but the wrong generation, and it threw me at first. Maybe SAVAGE married into the family more than once?
I have taken the lineage below from Alan's site, and all research has to be credited to him:
