Thomas and Mary might had more kids than just Martha and Harriett.
Martha and Harriett listed with pretty good dob's and places so think this is the right family.
Adolphus says his mother born AL and Dad in MS.
Now one thing you realize is we may never find Martha or Hariett's husband's.......even thou they did not marry they could have had kids w/an Ashby cuz but only dna would prove that. I meant to ask you, how do you know for sure they did not marry.
1910 Martha says she is a widow but again often women said that even if they never md too.
I need to find some more census we are missing like 1850 AND 1900 would be nice.

Notes for Rev ADOLPHUS D. ASHBY:

Bio: A. D. Ashby, Sabine
Parish, Louisiana:
Submitted: by : Gaytha Carver Thompson; Source: History of Sabine Parish by
John G. Belisle, The Sabine Banner Press, 1912 (Page 278)

    Mr. Ashby is a member
of the Parish School Board from Ward Seven.  He was born in Itawamba County, Miss.,
and lived there until 18 years of age, receiving such education as the small
rural schools afforded, which was very limited.  He came to Sabine parish in
1899 and resided here ever since.  On March 9, 1910, he was married to Miss
Mattie Bruce. Mr. Ashby's principal occupation has been farming, but in 1910 he
entered the ministry of the Congregational Methodist church, with which denomination
he is prominently identified.  His chief regret is that he was unable to finish
his education.  In 1912 he was elected member of the Parish School Board and at
the organization of the new board he was elected chaplain of that body, being
the first man ever honored with that position.  Mr. Ashby has always been an
advocate of a modern educational system that would thoroughly fit the youths of
the parish for the battle of life and the attainment of a more ideal
citizenship, and his influence will be cast with all progressive movements for
the public wealth.
