Subject: 1820 SC Census and Daughters of William and Delila ... I have just read, with interest, your information on the 1820 SC Census. Before I left the Genealogy Center last Tuesday, I copied the Ashleys' on the 1790, l800, l8l0, and the l820 Census Indexes. I did not have time that visit to look at the actual census records, but I plan to do that this week when I go back to the G. Center. I have always thought that our Ashleys came from Abbeville County or an area close to Abbeville County. I agree that the "William" that you pointed out on the l820 SC census look promising as "our" William. On the probate records that I found, there was a Joseph, David and Edward that had records on corresponding pages with William, Delila, and their known sons. Could they have been missing sons of William and Delila? Also, on your web page, it was mentioned that Sarah and Ann Ashley could have been daughters of William and Delila. Wouldn't that have been very likely since William, Delila. and Samuel were the only "Ashleys" listed as heads of households on the l830 and l840 Madison County Censuses? Also, nothing definitive, but Moses first son was named Joseph and his first daughter was named Sarah Ann; and it seems to me that "our' line of Ashleys never named a child unless it was named after a family member. Also in all of my searching, I have come across information that makes me believe that Tabbitha was Moses and Delila's daughter and not their daughter-in-law. What I saw in my search was her age and she was too young at some point when she was living with William and Delila to have been married. I should have written the information I saw down, but it did not register with me until a later time that perhaps she was William and Delila's daughter. I know, I have to consider that she had a son named Marcus Ashley. As I have already stated, I am going to the LDS Family Center on Tuesday to see if I can order the Madison County Probate Records microfilm. However, if it is not available there, I have discovered that I can order the probate records for $3.00 per name and $1.00 per page copy from the Probate Court in Madison County, GA. I have the telephone number and the address of the P. C. in Madison County. That sounds a lot more economical than the $25.00 per name fee from the GA Archives. I'll keep you posted on the results of my searches this week.
