Someone is asking about records of veterans of Spanish American war.
I suggest a couple of resources, which may not give any genealogical info,
but.... to know what you are looking for, you have to know whether it will be
useful to you.
1. Ask your librarian to help you find some information on the Spanish
American War. I understand that it, the War, was incited by the publications of
William Randolph Hearst, but what do I know? A children's encyclopedia may
help you understand. Theodore R
Virginia, do you have any more information on S.B. Ashley (I only
have his initials.)
who married Fredonia E. McNeil, daughter of Daniel and Edna White
McNeil, Jr. (or II)?
I don't have much on their son, Ransom?/Ranson? Ashley, who married Emma Seale,
though I have 8 children's names.
All I have on them came from Rev. Martin Luther White's 1925 family tree
for Robin White and Mary Hux and John Lewis Coon and Mary Fannon,
which has very few dates.

For our Wilkinson Co. MS Ashley family, I had my male cousin do a DNA
sample. His sample matched with another descendant of John D. Ashley [no
surprise] and James Thomas Ashley, b. 1876 Coahoma Co., MS.
I have not been able to trace this line but still have hopes of doing so.
The lady working this line thinks they connect to the Robert Ashley of
Claiborne Co., MS but we haven't been able to prove it, at this time.
One thing we do know is, Robert Ashley of Claiborne co. had a brother
named Thomas and
