"One thing we have discovered is that we are a nation of wanderers.
Our ancestors have wandered the globe, and often left us with
only one clue to trace their heritage, their surname." - Unknown
The primary goals of this site are:
1. To list our "cousins" researching this surname.
2. To link to pages of interest to people researching this surname.
3. To collect information pertaining to this surname, and the bearers
of this surname that might in some way facilitate research of this
surname.
4. To present this information on the web so that it can be freely accessed by any of our cousins at any time, from any place.
"In order for all our cousins to be gathered together,
from wherever they may have wandered,
you need a nest to gather them in." - Unknown
I need your help to do this.
Please Send Me:
The names of your direct ancestors and their spouses. And if you have one, a link to your genealogy web site and / or your online Ashworth family tree.
Well, I wish you success in your research!
Contents:
Ashworth comes from Old English ęsc ''ash tree'' + wor{dh} ''enclosed settlement.'' - Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4 Courtesy of Ancestry.com
(also shown as ''Assewrthe'' or ''Asseheworth'' in early records - other records show ''de Ashworth'' meaning ''from Ashworth'')
The Ashworths were named after the parochial chapelry (similar to a township) 3 1/2 miles west of Rochedale in Middleton Parish in the Hundred, or Royal Manor, of Salford (also known as Salford Hundred or Salfordshire) in County Lancashire, England.

I loved this customizable guestbook. But when it changed hands Lycos ruined it. Now the text in the entries is all bunched up.

Here are four books I know of with information about Ashworth families.
"The Ashworth Family" by Vanda V. Ashworth
''I have a copy of the Ashworth book...The book is helpful in some ways, however, the writer displays some points of view that may or may not be correct or in harmony with other researcher's points of view. Some of the information the writer has compiled is not validated or documented. For the most part, the book has some genealogical value for the more present day generations of Trinity Co. Ashworth families. Vanda V. Ashworth's assessment of the Ashworth ancestry in earlier eras is very vague and without documentation.'' - Dave Ashworth Dave's E-Mail Address Another copy is available at the Kurth Memorial Library in Lufkin, Texas.
"Ashworths of VA & W VA - The Issac Line" by Gay Edens Carrigan
Gay Edens Carrigan has spent years researching and validating the Ashworth line via the Issac line, which includes generations in Virginia and West Virginia. Gay's E-Mail Address
"My Thomas, Hayes, Ashworth Families" by Dolly Nicol
Dolly Nicol (descendant of James Ashworth and Keziah Dial) has published a new book entitled "My Thomas, Hayes, Ashworth Families". It contains over 377 acid-free pages and many pictures, documents, and Bible records. Soft cover with a plastic overlay and "soft spiral" binding. Cost $35.00 (includes postage and handling). To get a copy, send a check to Dolly at 3822 Hansen Drive, Dickinson, TX 77539-6114 or call 281-337-4211. (If this information has changed, please let me know.)
''The Harness Makers'' by Patricia Crowder Yaw
''The Ashworth and Crowder families were united in marriage by Emily Amanda Ashworth, first daughter of Cornelous and Hannah Mooney Ashworth to James Madison Crowder, son of Littleberry and Mary Mills Crowder. The story of their lives from VA to IL in the spring of 1854 is in my book, 'The Harness Makers,' with family tree and pictures of Cornelous, Hannah, Emily Amanda and Mary.''

IMPORTANT! There's nothing more frustrating for a genealogist than either finding a connection with a fellow researcher only to be unable to get in touch or losing touch with one.
To avoid that frustrating experience, please, please, PLEASE do the following things so your e-mail address image will change automatically when you update your address in your RootsWeb or Ancestry.com account.
(Too bad I didn't think of this years ago, instead of trying to do it with a members' area and ImageMagick. For your sakes, I sure wish I had.) skip
You may also want to create a free account and enter your current e-mail address or, if you don't have one, your residence or phone number at Plaxo.com, an indispensable service that automatically updates your contact information in your contacts' address books and at other sites you're also a member of when you update it in your Plaxo account.
(Another web site you may want to create a free account at is an identity aggregator to manage your online identities, including your address books, bookmarks, feeds, community profiles, etc. from two or more web sites.)
If you have no other accounts online, prefer not to give your other accounts' passwords to Plaxo to import your accounts' information or have lost contact with a fellow researcher and that person doesn't have an account at RootsWeb, Ancestry.com or Plaxo, create an account at or check the following free directories or change of address services.
Then make sure you update your contact information in your account every time you move or get a new e-mail address so others can stay in touch with you.
For your sake and / or your fellow researchers', don't put it off till it's too late. Do it now. skip
Please Note:
Hiding e-mail addresses in Javascript or ASCII doesn't work anymore. So to prevent spammers from harvesting them, I hid the following researchers' e-mail addresses in two ways:
Plus, I added each address to the alt attribute of each image for the benefit of blind researchers. It's written in the phonetic alphabet. Each phonetic word refers to a letter, number or symbol in the address.
Instructions:
I was never able to find out how to set up ImageMagick to automatically update the image of the e-mail address I have for you in my list of researchers when you update it in the members' area, so I removed the members' area.

Since I put this page online in 1999, this page has been accessed at least 3000 times. But...having lost my third counter, I'm counting from zero yet again. Alas! What a short life online counters have!
Many thanks to the folks at RootsWeb for hosting this web site and for making our online genealogy research much easier and more productive.
