Sorry I did not include parents, I guess I thought you had them.
Thursday, July 06, 2000 8:39 AM

Nicholas Woodfin, b. August 2, 1759 Greenbrier Co., VA (now WV),
d. December 21, 1832 Fosterville, Bedford Co., TN; m. 1789 VA, Hannah Mary Ashbrook, b. May 3, 1766 Hampshire Co., VA, d. August 8, 1845 Fosterville, Bedford Co.,
TN. As mentioned previously they are both buried in the Woodfin Cemetery near Fosterville.

Nicholas father was John, b. 1726 and he had brothers Samuel II, Thomas III, James and Elisha and probably 4 sisters. Beyond that it gets real murky as there were 3 brothers who emigrated named Samuel, Thomas and John, and they all named sons the same soit is next to impossible to sort them out. There is some published material that Nicholas' father was a Rev. Samuel but that is almost certainly in error.

I have not done a lot of work on the Ashbrooks but Hannah's father was Moses and his father was Aaron, and his father was John. I have been told that the actual family name was Flowers and the ones that emigrated adopted the family titled name of Ashbrook. There is a minor Irish peerage of the Viscount Ashbrook which still exists today but I have not confirmed the connection.

I have quite a bit of info on the siblings and descendants which I will send. Also quite a bit of various published source material. It will be a couple of days before I can get it all copied but I will try to get it out this week.

Regarding Rebecca, I believe I have a transcription of her will which was written 8/14/1859 and was filed in Fulton Co., KY as she owned a lot in Hickman, KY. Somewhere (I will have to check where) I picked up that she was in KY (I would guess Fulton Co.)in 1852 and in Gibson Co., TN in 1841. Several of the family moved to Obion Co., TN/Fulton Co., KY in the late 1840's/early 1850's. Eric Woodfin Naylor, who is a Professor at The University of the South in Swanee, TN, is from Obion Co. and still owns some of the family farms there. I visited him in Obion Co. several years ago.

I will get, at the least, the descendant chart to you this week.
