The Ashby family is of English origin.  The name is derived from the Saxon word “ash”, and the Danish “bye” which means town.  Located in Leicestershire is the ancient castle of Ashby.  This castle was first mentioned in records during the time of Edward the Confessor .  The castle was held by Hugh, under the Countess Judith, at the time of the Norman Conquest.  She had been presented the castle by her uncle, William the Conqueror .  In 1480, the ruined castle was rebuilt by Sir William Hastings , and crowns a height to the south of the town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.  The castle was immortalized by Sir Walter Scott  in his “Ivanhoe”.  It was here that Mary, Queen of Scots , spent several months in captivity.[i]

For the past 600 years the Ashby family has had many distinguished members who have attained honorable positions and fame in English literature, politics, and military service. The American branches of the Ashby family are found in Virginia as early as 1636, in Maryland in 1650 and in Massachusetts in 1640. The immediate ancestor of the Virginia branch of the Ashby family was Captain Thomas  Ashby  who located in what is now Fauquier County[ii].

The Ashby's owned Quenby Hall, which is near the village of Hungarton, in Leicestershire. John Ashby  (who married Elizabeth Thoroughgood) owned a large plantation near Charleston, SC, called Quenby Plantation (which still exists, although the current house was not built by Ashbys). The family lost the plantation after John Ashby junior 's death, almost certainly due to malfeasance by the Ball family (John Ashby junior's second wife was Elizabeth Ball). The Thoroughgood family had land in Virginia, which may be one of the reasons that Thomas Ashby  emigrated there from South Carolina.

h.     
Elizabeth Ashby , m. Samuel Thomas .
i.

I have also found the following notation: Thomas Ashby  1680-1742 VA married to Rosanna "Rose" McClure 1689-1752 and they had the following children: John,Benjamin,Stephen, Robert, Thomas Jr.,Henry, Elizabeth, Sarah, Rose, Ann.

So the exact parentage of each of his children is questionable at this point (7/98) of my research.

Capt.[xlii] Robert Ashby , Gent.

3.1.1.3.3.4.1.  Robert Ashby , Gent. , son of Thomas & Rosa (McClullen) Ashby, b. ca. 1715[xliii], he was age 47 in 1762, of “Yew Hill”, Delaplane, VA; d. 27 Feb 1792; , (will dated 2 Jun 1790; proved Feb. 1792), Fauquier Co., VA; m 1st ca. 1753 to Dorothy (unknown) [xliv]; m 2nd 28 Apr 1783, Fauquier Co., VA[xlv] to Catherine Combs , daughter of Robert Combs, Sr.  [xlvi].  No issue of 2nd marriage. [xlvii] ; m 3rd 1750, South Carolina to Margaret Bonneau [xlviii]

Yew Hill is described as a “typical early pioneer home”, located on Route 1, near Delaplane, Virginia.  It was erected in 1748 by Robert Ashby , on the original land grant of Thomas Ashby .  It was built by Robert Ashby.  It is said to be the first house to have been built in this community to have had glass windows.  Robert was the first of his family to make his home there.  He first occupied Yew Hill in 1760 while engaging in surveying his own tract of land lying near Ashby’s Gap.[xlix]   George Washington  is known to have spent several nights in this house on his way to survey his own land around Gap Run, near Ashby’s Gap.[l]  Robert Ashby served as a marker for George Washington  on 15 Mar 1748 while he surveyed a tract of land for George Fairfax, Esq.[li]

During the Revolutionary War, George Washington  made his headquarters at Yew Hill form Mar 9 to Mar 18, 17 69.[lii]  While Washington was staying at Yew Hill he was visited by Colonel Thomas Marshall , father of John Marshall , Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.[liii]  Robert Ashby  was a Captain in the Fauquier County Militia.  His name is mentioned twice in the Order Books on 27 Sept 1759 and 26 Jun 1761.[liv]

Robert Ashby  was residing in Fauquier County, VA at it's formation in 1759, son of Thomas Ashby , d. ca. 1792, Fauquier Co.,  VA.  Robert Ashby was a man of rugged force, though limited education.[lv]  He was brought up on the confines of the settlements of Virginia, his childhood was spent amid the hardships and dangers of frontier life.

An interesting advertisement found in The Virginia Gazette and the Winchester Advertizer, “Whereas my wife Catherine Ashby  has eloped from my bed and board, for reasons unknown to me, I therefore forbid all persons whatever, from harbouring or dealing with her on my account, as I am determined not to pay any debts to her contracting.”  Signed: Robert Ashby , 21 Feb 1788.[lvi]

Fauquier County

In the Deed Books of Fauquier County we find Robert Ashby  as an active member of the community.  He signs several leases and is a witness to a number of leases, bargain & sales, and mortgages.
