Robert Asher in Kentucky

RGeohegan — 2012-05-07 02:59:05Z

Looking for information about Robert Asher that committed suicide by hanging. He was either the father of Hila Asher or the Grandfather. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks!

Looking for Sarah Catherine Asher

MilisaHenderson — 2012-05-04 13:07:53Z

believe her mother's name was Susanna, born in Illinois. Married circa 1878 August Frederick Brueggemann. Have census evidence that the couple and their children lived on both sides of the state line in the St. Louis, MO area.

Family legend has it that Sarah's mother was a "Taylor" - tying in somehow to the family of President Zachary Taylor. However I cannot manage to proove Sarah's existence before she married August F Brueggemann.

Sarah is my great grandmother, her son John's middle name, Asher, is supposed to be from her maiden name.

ASHERS in Florida

maestro1_1 — 2012-04-29 06:56:08Z

Pursurant to my previous post about JAMES ASHER, I have been able to find a descendant (grandchild) of this James in Florida. Her name is SHIRLEY JOAN ASHER, born around 1935, and married in 1986 in Lake County, Florida. In fact, I can find records for her as late as the mid 1990s in Bradenton.

Would love to hear from anyone who knows or who is a member of this branch of the Asher family.

Asher's in Illinois John m. to Susanna daughter Sarah C

MilisaHenderson — 2012-04-23 01:50:08Z

John b about 1829
Susanna - alleged via family lore to be a Taylor but I'm presently doubting that. b about 1836
Sarah C Asher b about 1854 later married August Frederick Brueggeman and I have them on a census living in Litchfield Illinois in 1880. Sarah and August are my great grandparents, looking to trace the line further.

thanks!

JAMES ASHER (b.1876) from Scotland in 1905

maestro1_1 — 2012-04-20 07:19:07Z

I am trying to trace any descendants of JAMES ASHER, who was born on 8 July 1876 in Blackhills, Elgin, Morayshire in Scotland. On 29 Sept 1899 he married MARY ANDREWS, who was born in 1874.

They had four children: JOHN McGILLIVRAY (1900-1905), WILLIAM NORMAN GRAHAM (b. 1901), MABEL MARY (b. 1904) and JAMES (b. 1905).

James, Mary, Norman, Mabel, and James arrived at Ellis Island on October 29th or 30th, 1905 aboard the S.S. COLUMBIA from Glasgow, which they had left on October 21st. Their last address in Scotland was given as Forres. The immigration records show that their final destination in the United States was to be the Citadel Building, 7th Street, Pillsburg/Pillsbury/Pittsburg (sic), Pennsylvania.

This family is recorded in the 1920 United States Census for Hartford, Connecticut.

In the 1930 United States Census for Washington, D.C., both James and Mary are mentioned, together with children Mabel and James. Also mentioned with this household are...Dora Asher (Daughter-in-Law, aged 25), and William Nottingham, Leila Nottingham (spouse), U. Dudley Rucker, Frances M. Rucker (spouse), Frances N. Rucker (child), and Polly Patterson (servant).

Would appreciate any help.

Re: Roscoe Asher

remyrobot — 2012-04-04 01:46:14Z

My Grandpa Henry Howard Babin was Georgiana Babin Asher's brother. There were 7 brothers and sisters in Georgiana's family. This is interesting because I am from the Babin side. Yes, Georgiana's dad was Levi. I believe he was born in Nova Scotia April, 1862 and died around July 1941 in Two Harbors. He was married to Mary Ann Lemere. She was born on Jan. 18th 1860 and died in Two Harbors on Jan. 4, 1933. My grandpa told me all of this information when I was a little girl. Georgiana and Roscoe had 7 children; Elmer, Orville, Marie (Sis), Everett, Lorraine, Lloyd, Howard and 2 lost. I don't know if they died in childbirth or what. I do remember Sis--she married Francis Croke and crazy as it sound they had 1 daughter named Georgiana. We called her Georgie for short. I only saw Lloyd once. They called him Circus. Hopefully this will help.

There are several trees at Ancestry dot com that list a son named Roscoe, but they do not have date of birth or death (they show him dead (gone) before 1900.

In any event, there are several descendants you should be able to contact.

Hi Robin
All of my info was lost in a computer crash so I'm going completely from memory right now so I'm not sure on siblings. I made the Facebook page where I have the photos posted public, so as long as you have an account you should be able to see them.

Re: Robert and Susannah Norris Asher

RGeohegan — 2012-03-05 00:52:24Z

Hi Kelly.

Yes, we're coming down the same line, at least in siblings. I have Sam as the son of Dixon. Wasn't Dixon a sibling to Barnabus? Barnabus' son william Elmer is the line I come from. I couldn't open the pictures that you have listed though. Robin

Re: Robert and Susannah Norris Asher

Kelly_Fletcher_Rogers — 2012-03-04 01:38:40Z

I don't have my info in front of me so I'm not sure if this is the correct line or not. My great grandfather was Samuel Humfleet who married Sarah Asher. I have posted many old photos that I believe came to my grandmother through her aunt Vera (Humfleet) McHargue (Sam's sister). You can look at the photos here...http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003504237804

Kelly_Fletcher_Rogers — 2012-03-03 04:34:56Z

I have been scanning old, unknown family photos. People in the photos may be Ashers. If you can help me identify anyone in them, it would be very much appreciated. Of course, I will send copies to anyone that wants them as well. I set up a Facebook page so I can more easily post and share all the photos. There aren't many there as of yet but I'll keep scanning and post more as I get them done. Thanks!

Re: Roscoe Asher

normsailer — 2012-02-21 23:48:14Z

The only clue I found to the origins of Roscoe Asher is the 1900 fed census - Atchison Co - the ONLY other Asher Lora D Asher "servant" - as a POSSIBLE sister. Lora is a KNOWN child of Calvin Asher on the 1880 census (Roscoe was born too late to be included on this census.) Calvin dies before the 1900 cencus. Roscoe is a young adult, goes to work for the RR and ends up where the job takes him.

I find this a very likely scenario, but no way to confirm it.

Good luck with your search! Crystal

Re: Roscoe Asher

chrsa713 — 2012-02-21 20:50:18Z

I have one more question, if you don't mind....what is your best guess as to where Roscoe came or who he came from.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Roscoe Asher

normsailer — 2012-02-21 00:49:33Z

Roscoe Asher is born AFTER the 1880 cencus. There are no other reliable counts for Missouri until 1900. Calvin Asher died before the 1900 cencus.

IF (and I don't know how it could be proven other than private family records) Roscoe is the son of Calvin, This Asher line is well documented back to John Asher born abt 1661 in England.

This family is some of the first settlers into what later became TN. They went into Cherokee lands and there is strong history between the Ashers and Cherokee, although I have never been able to find a marriage into the tribe.

I have researched this line quite a bit, but my line goes directly from TN to MO (not thru Kentucky)

Crystal

Re: Roscoe Asher

chrsa713 — 2012-02-20 20:15:12Z

I am wondering if the reason there is no record of him until the twentieth century if he might of grown up and or raised by a Native American tribe. One of his daughter's name is Indian. Is this possible to find out?

I have looked into the Babins' ancestry. They are quite a group. They moved from Quebec to Wisconsin. I am not sure Roscoe and Georgianna ended up together. I do know that there were/are Babins in Two Harbors, besides Georgi.

Thanks for your help,

Chris Asher

Re: Roscoe Asher

normsailer — 2012-02-20 10:54:34Z

There is only one other Asher in Atchison County, MO on the 1900 cencus - Lora Dell Asher b. 1877 d/o Calvin Asher 1852 - 1894 and Mary Miller. Try as I might, I could not connect Lora to Roscoe. There is another sister Edith Pearl Asher b. 1878. All three are listed as "servant" on the 1990 cencuses. Roscoe is working for the RR in 1905 which gets him to Minnesota.

If you search familysearch dot org "Roscoe Asher" you will find death cert for Georgiana lising her parents (misspelled) leading to: Levi Babin and Mary Ann Lemere (Lemier)

It's a start...

Roscoe Asher

chrsa713 — 2012-02-19 20:30:03Z

He was born in Missouri in abt 1880. There is no indication that I can find (I am new at this.) that gives his mother's name or his father's name. He move to MN in the early 1900s married a girl named Georgianna and father quite a few children. His wife died in abt 1926 and he died in 1946. (They both died and were buried in Two Harbors, MN.)

I am in front of a brick wall as to his parents.

Help Please.

Hi Martin,

I'm really hoping you're still able to receive posts from here.
Abraham and Mary were my grandparents! You didn't say who your father was but I am assuming it's Morris or John? My Aunt (their daughter obviously!) who's 89 now has been looking into the family tree for some time and I know she has a lot of information but also a few gaps.

Would love to hear from you, I assume we'd be third cousins perhaps?!

In old family albums from my grandmother, Goldia Burdick, I have found several photos of a young Robert Asher, I remember him because we are approximately the same age. His mother's name was Ella and his grandmother was a wonderful lady we called Mrs. Harter. This was all in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1940's and 1950's If any of this sounds familiar I would enjoy hearing from you and sharing my memories and of course the photographs. My name is Jim Street, my mother was Opal and we lived for many years in Livermore, Ca.

This is where I found some awesome info relating to parents. They do have an online link and they may be willing to help you via an online inquiry. Best Wishes!

I've heard that there was Indian in our Ancestry and I have been unable to locate anything, but I suspect with the "Trail of Tears" it was the government's intent not to be able to have much documentation, thus, less claims...ugh!
