Subject: Madison Co. GA 1840 census; children of SSA

... on the 1840 Madison Co. Census.  It shows that Samuel is between
20-30 yrs. Say he is born 1815, ... Could work,huh? Then it shows he has
a female age between 30-40, His wife Mary Jane Harrison ... could be 
her, ...?. 
...
Per the info about the 1812-1843 marriages: Jane Criswell is spelled 
with an 'i', not an 'e'. one.  Believe her full name could have been 
Mary Jane Criswell.  
...
I have that the children of Samuel Shaw Ashley were Moses Samuel 
McDuffie Ashley, born Aug 4, 1840; William 'Billie' F. Ashley, born 
March 5, 1845; Mary Taylor Ashley, born May 15, 1847 and V. Ashley, born 
abt 1857.

This cousin of mine that gave me most of the names for this period had
been given hand written data from an old cousin of hers back in the
1980's. This cousin lived somewhere in Arkansas I think. So this is all
that I had to go one.  I tried to document most of my findings in Hunt
County, Texas and Kaufman County, Texas that I could find.  Went to the
cemeteries in Hunt county and photographed all the stones that were
there.  Even researched the Kaufman County and Hunt county papers
for any info on the Ashley line.  Not much there.
...
I have on the 1850 .Talledega County, Ala. census that Samuel is living
next door to Tabitha Ashley and Marcus Ashley and he was living in 
Benton Co., Ala. in 1852.
