John A. Ashley

Abt 1858 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	John A. Ashley  [1, 2]
  Born	Abt 1858	Clarke County, Mississippi   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Shown on the IGI as born 17 Jan 1858 and died 12 Feb 1938 in Oklahoma City. Shown to have married twice, to Josephine CONCORD and Lula Jane MILLER, and as the father of seven. In 1910, a John A Ashley (age 61, born ca 1849, Mississippi) and wife Lulla (age 23, born ca 1887) can be found in Caney, Atoka, Oklahoma with seven children. It was shown they had been married 7 years, and that she was the mother of two children, both living. It would therefore appear that Ollie-17, Willie-15, Rosa-13, Minnie-11 and Maggie-8, were born to John's first wife, Robert-7 and Fred-4 both born to Lula. John's mother, a 91 year old widow, Catherine Ashley was listed in their home as well. She was born in Mississippi as well. Other other facts fit this John A. Ashley as being a son of Catherine C. McLemore, but the ages are markedly different. Info can be found at FindAGrave on this John A. Ashley, linked to Josephine Concord. But again, due to the significant age gap, this should be carefully verified. John Albert Ashley, Choctaw, early day state farmer who fought in the Civil War as a Confederate, will be buried in the Harrah Cemetery Monday afternoon following 2 p.m. services in the Choctaw Baptist Church. Ashley, who died Saturday night in University hospital after an illness of several months, joined the Confederate ranks in Mississippi early in 1864 and fought until the end of the war. He was not wounded. Ashley moved into the southern part of Oklahoma shortly before the turn of the century, and later moved to Choctaw. He came to the state from Texas. published in the Oklahoman February 14 1938 Memory Lane Cemetery Harrah Oklahoma County, Oklahoma Find A Grave Memorial# 40244929
