Story On Fort Ashby
Included in Forth
Coming Book

An interesting chapter on Fort
Ashby, which was built in 1774 by
William Walton Ashby and other
pioneers at the confluence of Cherry
Creek and Douglas run, at Gortner,
is contained within a book, "The Con
quering Heroes Came" which is being
compiled by J. C. Breuninger, on the

chapters concern the Indians that
roamed the hills of Garrett county

Dorsey Ashby, who is now aged about
80. 1t was his grandfather who was
born in the fort and he told Dorsey
the story for nearly twenty years
There was forty-two families in the
fort at one time, which was located
on what is now the Swartzentruber
farm east Of the school. The fort en-
closed ten acres of lard, which was
500 feet wide and 875 feet long.
Mr. Ashby has a picture of the
Fort as it appeared in pioneer days
and is presenting it to the Garrett
County Historical Society.
A portion of the story of Fort
Ashby includes the following:
In 1772, one John Ashby, a captain
of the Virginia Militia, gathered a
party of wandering and adventurous
souls to penetrate the "back country
and to investigate land grant Ash

rendered in border skirmishes
against the Indians. A member of this
party was William w. Ashby about
