From the Rootsweb ASHLEY-L Archives: I have Ezekiel Ashley who was married to Piety Pridgen and later to Catherine McLemore. I beleive he had a brother named James since he married Piety's sister. I believe he was born in Al but that is all I know about where he came from or his parents. If anyone has any info, I would love to hear from them.
