Marriage Index: Alabama l800-l900
=================================

Ashley, Hiram      spouse:  Parton, Margaret.
                   Marriage date:  Feb. l6, l840
                   Benton County, AL

Ashley, Moses      spouse:  Nancy A. Newley
                   Marriage date:  April l8, l847
                   Benton Co., Al
[Could this have been "our" Moses, and could this have been the Nancy
shown as age 28 in his home in the Greene Co. AL census in 1850 (3
years before his recorded marriage to Nancy Lay in Greene Co.,
following).  If so, she would have been the mother of Joseph rather
Pamela.  This is but 3 years before Delila, Sion and Samuel showed up
on nearby Talladega Co. Census.  Wm. R's will showed Samuel as resident
of Benton (Calhoun) Co. in 1852. -jr]
         
Ashley, Moses*     spouse:  Nancy Lay
                   Marriage date:  January l6, l853
                   Greene County, AL
[Could this have been the Nancy Lay who showed up on the Greene Co.
1850 census as age 18 and was she the Nancy age 28 living in Moses home
in Greene Co. in 1860. -jr]

  
Ashley, Tabitha*   spouse:  Brooks, Matthew
                   Marriage date:  December l8, l850
                   Talladega County, AL
[Wm. Riley Ashley, s. of Wm. Ashley, was apparently not aware of this
marriage since he referred to her as Tabitha Ashley in his 1852 will.
-jr]


Marriage Index:  GA l754-l850
=============================
                     
Ashley, Moses      spouse:  Mitchel, Pamela
                   Marriage date;  December 16, l833
                   Madison County, GA
[This has been presumed to be the first marriage of "our" Moses, due to
the location and time.  We know of no known children from this
marriage.  We should remain open to the possibility that this may have
been a different Moses.  The name was not uncommon in nearby Abbeville
Co. SC.]

Ashley, Samuel*    spouse:  Creswell, Jane
                   Marriage date:  January 11, l839
                   Madison County, GA
[This is almost certainly our Samuel S., since Samuel and Jane were
living very close to Delila and Sion Smith and to Tabitha Ashley in the
1850 Talladega Co. AL census -jr]
