Mother: Mary Elizabeth FARROW |
Frances Wright (b. 1742; m. [1st, on Nov. 30, 1759) Capt. Nimrod
Ashby [commissioned justice of the peace of Fauquier Co., Va.,
12/1/1762; this commission was renewed on 5/26/1764. Sometime
within the next few weeks both Ashby and his hunting companion,
William Furman, were killed by a band of ca. 20 Delaware Indians
when the two men were hunting near Furman's Fort on the South
Branch of the Potomac.
Fauquier County Order Bk. 2:312 appointed a male guardian for
his "orphan" children on 6/28/1764. Frances survived him and m.
[2nd, ca. 1765) John O'Bannon [tentatively styled "Jr." by
J.A.W. According to Sundberg-Gott's recent study of the O'Bannon
family, however, he was probably the son of William O'Bannon,
and thus the 1st cousin, once removed of Lt. Presley Neville
O'Bannon, USMC, hero in the capture of Tripoli during the war
against the Barbary Pirates]. She died post Feb., 1784).
Children (by her 1st husband):
Martin Ashby (b. 1760; m. Mir[i]am ___; he d. post 1790).
Thomas Bryan Ashby (b. ca. 1762). [See esp. the following
records of Fauquier Co., Va.: Marriage Bk. 1:1, Will Bk. 1:241
and 247, Deed Bk. 10:216, and Court Order Books 1:212 and 2:312;
PEYTON, Hist. Augusta Co.,117; RITCHIE, 39; J.K. Gott, "The
O'Bannon Family," pp. 9-34 in SUNDBERG-GOTT; J.A.W., Outline,
12113.
HAYDEN, 450-451, adds a third child--Miriam Ashby; this is
extremely dubious, for she is nowhere cited in any of the
extensive abstracts of relevant Fauquier Co., Va. records
collected by PP in J.A.W., U.G.S., #4, PP correspondence,
10/9/1959.
HAYDEN, 450-452, is apparently accurate, however, in indicating
that Capt Nimrod Ashby's younger brother, John Ashby, was the
greatgrandfather of the celebrated cavalry leader Gen. Turner
Ashby, CSA]
In April 1763 he rec'd from the treasurer pay for himself & his
men.
JUN 1764 he was Ambushed & killed by Indians en route back to
the Fort & robbed of this payment. This amount, 74 pounds, was
paid out of his estate. This left his children "destitute of
bread". A Petition filed 18 Nov 1766 by Robert Asby, his father.
29 JUN 1764 Estate appraised. Nimrod had advanced his own credit
to procure uniforms & supplies for his men. 1
Petition filed 18 Nov 1766 by Frances (Wright) Ashby, his widow.
Frances Ashby, widow of Nimrod Ashby - 1764
The following Ashby's were found in the Journals of the House of
Burgesses, Volume 10, pages 281 and 363. Though not linked to
any Taylor family the Ashby's resided in north Fauquier County.
Nimrod Ashby married Frances Wright 30 November 1759 in Fauquier
County.

as the Pay due to his Men; that on his Return back to the Fort
where his Men were stationed, in Order to pay them the Money
which was respectively due them, and to discharge some Debts
