More About AShby
Family in Kentucky

More information about the mem
bers OF the Ashby family who
moved TO Kentucky early in this
nations history, was provided this
week by Mrs. Bess Norton LOhr.
She discovered she was in error
in a recent story as to the gem
GRAFTON of Isaac, great grandson of
Jesse, brother of this county's
William, of Revolutionary war time.
1t was stated he was a son of
Jesse, born in 1898, which could
not be possible. Isaac was born
near Ccntcrtown, Ky, in May, 1894,
and was just &C when visiting in
Oakland recently.
Other data, however, has been
uncovered from old letters dated
1920 from Kentucky. Evan Will
liams was writing to his widowed
sister Sarah Williams Ashby, in re-
ply to request for information about
Kentucky relatives.
The latter was addressed to
"Kingwood, Preston County, Mary
land" One time William and Sarah
lived in what is now Preston, then
Monongalia County, West Virginia.
Post offices were few, and mail
scarce. The land line between
Maryland and West Virginia was
not settled before William died in
1904. Nathan son of William and

Warns Against Home
Made Suntan Lotion

Suggestions from the Maryland
State Department of Health re-
garding exposure of the skin to
the summer sun include pre-
caution about improvised tan
ming" preparations made by mix
ing iodine tincture with mineral
or baby oil.
Although such mixtures will
stain the skin and give the effect
of sun tan, a person so stained
is still subject to the burning rays
of the sun, according to f. S.
Balassone, Chief of the Depart
ment's Division of Drug Control.
Users should not be mislcad by
the discoloration, and assume they
have acquired a protective coating
from the sun. However, the oil
does lubricate the skin, Mr.. Balas-
some explained. Continuous ap-
plicatiOn of the oil would act as
a physical barrier to the suns
rays and offer some protection.
Mr.. Balassone advised mode
rate exposure and adequate pro-
lection according to the suscep-
tibility of each individual"
Some Health Department sug-
gestions are:
l. Know your type of skin and
how easily and quickly it burns.
Skins differ in their sensitivity to
sunlight. Babies under two years
and delicate children of any age
need close watching when they
start their sun baths.
2. Learn when and where the
sun has greatest burning power.
When the sun is high overhead, its
rays are short, direct, and burning.
AS the sun goes down, its rays

Sarah, lived in the old stone inn
near Terra Alta, after William.
II is even possible that Sarah was
living in that area in 1920. At any
rate, the family lost sight of those
three tor four) brothers who had
gone to Kentucky until recently
when through kindness of the post
masters, and clerks of courts, in
various parts of Kentucky a fairly
reliable amount of data is being
collected. Who the parents of these
oldest brothers were is still mat
ter Of mystery.
1t has come to light that the war
services of the old Ashby brothers
have been well matched by sew
eral of their descendants in later
war services.
One of the men killed at Pearl
Harbor was a descendant of Jesse.
A half-brother of Isaac Ashby
lost a son last January when Presi-
dent Eisenhower was in Rio tie
.Janeiro when Charles BardWell
Ashby of Beaver Dam, Ohio Coun-
ty Kentucky, was in the U. S. Navy
plane that crashed over the city.
Isaac's only son, David Rowe Ash
by, is in the armed service at Fit.
Meade. The family has not lacked
for patriots. At least three of the
pioneers served in Indian Wars and
in the Revolution.
The other brothers about whom
we have found data are as fol-
lows: Peter, who married Winifred
Timmons in 1889, was born in 1851,
and died in Hopkins County, KY, in
1888. He reared at least four sons
and four daughters.
George, whose wife was Susaniah
-, was a commissioner
of Ohio County in 1900, 1902 and
1903. His will was probated in 1911,
so he must have died in 1910 or
1911.
Henry must be the brother who
went on farther west to Ohio or
Missouri. Letters from Keyteville,
Mo, from a cousin Daniel to a
descendant of Jesse leads to the

A Threat To Our Freedom
Many Americans who have been
watching the relentless expansion
of Communist power throughout
the world are gravely concerned
for the future of our nation-and
mankinds freedom. They are
aware that in 40 years of eXtraor-
binary success the Communists
have already achieved most OF
Lenins blueprint for conquest,
summarized and paraphrased as
follows: First, we will take east
crn Euripe; next the masses OF
Asia; then we shall encirle the last
bastion of capitalism, the United
States of America. We shall not
have to attack; it will fall like an
overripe fruit into our hands"
With infiltration, control of prop
aganda outlets, and cunning politi-
cal maneuvering, while our nation
looked on, the Communists COB
bled up eastern Europe; then most
of the masses of Asia, including
China's 500 million. And now we
witness Cuba, 80 miles from
Florida, being converted into a
Communist stronghold, the base
for widespread Latin American ac-
tivities. Thus Lenin's blueprint for
expansion, no matter how fantastic
it may have sounded when he said
it, has become areality. The U.S.A.
is encircled, and within our bor-
ders the Communists are undermln-
ing our will to resist.
Let us be alert, and recognize
Communist propaganda for what it
is. regardless of its source.

belief that Daniel may be Henry S
son. Research is being continued
on Henry's line.
Another Revolutionary soldier
who is now believed to be brother
of Jesse, Peter, George, Henry and
William was the Stephen Ashby
who married Susan Foote, and left
a large family when he died in
Caldwell County, Kentucky. HIS
will signed in 1887 was proved in
1880, hence his death must have
been in 1929 or 1880. Mrs. Masten,
a descendant, now nearly blind,
says that he was brother to Jesse,
Peter, George, and Henry. Ashby-
burg, Onton, Anton, and other
Kentucky towns have Ashby des-
cendants of one or the other
brothers. The postmaster at Onton,
Cornelius Ashby, is a descendant
of Peter, many generations re-
moved.
