William was one of five sons born to Robert and Sarah(Middleton) who migrated to Ogdensburg somewhere around 1836. William was the fifth son,( born 1843). He married Mary J. Barker of Lisbon, NY in 1865. He was a laborer and well known for his lawn building. They had seven daughters, Wyoma, 1866, Hattie,1869,Jessie 1875, Florence (no BD), Gladys (no BD), Mabel, Eva and GRACE D. ( no BD's). The Mother (Mary) preceded the Father( William) in death in 1909 he died the next year 1910. Hope this helps.

Sarah,
I have just started looking at my ancestors, Ashwoods have lived in Hertfordshire for years I have found in Sheephall in 1792. My great grand father Edward Ashwood born in 1852 in Stapleford. Ashwoods have been in Waterford 2 miles from Stapleford for 3 generations. I have 3 Children, MARK, SARAH and Paul. How weird.

Dear Carl,

That makes you my 3rd cousin. I am assuming you have an interest in your genealogy since you saw my post. I always enjoy finding relatives that I've never known. I've also found two other Ashwood cousins in the last year. (Or, should I say they found me.)

I have some information on our Ashwood ancestors that I would like to share with you.

Please email me at mchiles123@comcast.net if you have any interest.

Good hunting,

Myra

I found your inquriy very interesting as I have just started researching my families history. My grandmother was Frances (Lesperance) Ashwood and she had three sisters but none with the names you listed. There names were Edith (Ashwood) Sovie, Florance (Ashwood) Gagnon, and Marjorie Ashwood. They are all from Ogdensburg New York. I have some photo's which we might compare should you also have some. Feel free to contact me if you think that any of this matches. Ron.

Hi Janeen,

Sorry I haven't responded until now. Anyways, I don't know exactly when my family came over to the U.S. I'll ask some family members to get more of the details. I do know that we cam from North Eastern part of England. Ashwood is realy Welsh. From what I've been told, the city from where the Ashwood's came from was near a big forest of Ash trees so that's how we got the name. The family crest is a English Sun with seven scrolls below the sun. I'm not sure what the seven scrolls represent. I'll check with my Grandpa to find out. Anyways.... that's what I have for now. Take care.

Hi Scotty,
My grandfather, Horace Raymond Ashwood, was the son of John Ashwood, who was a son of Joseph Ashwood. Horace Raymond Ashwood came to Oklahoma abt 1921, but was born in Schuyler County, Illinois. I have some information on the family that came to Oklahoma. Also some information on the ones that stayed in Illinois, also have other contacts that are working the same lines.

Ashwoods in Illinois

skeet8828 — 2003-11-24 07:36:52Z

I am researching Ashwoods in west central Illinois and have made alot of progress, yet I am still trying to piece together several of Joseph Ashwood's decendants and all of his ancestors. He was born 1/7/1823 in Ridgemont, England and made his way to Illinois and was married by 1848. He died in Schuyler Co on 8/24/1897. If anyone has any information or needs information from here in central Illinois my e-mail address is skeet8828@cs.com

Ashwood - New York and New Hampshire

odonut — 2002-12-28 16:20:19Z

my great grandmother was harriet v. ashwood, born in 1869 ogdensburg, new york and died 1942 nashua, new hampshire (near milford). harriet married william whitehead about 1892. they had three children, charles, gloria and james (my grandfather).

i believe harriet's parents were william ashwood and mary j. (last name unknown) and i think there were four daughters, harriet, jessey, nellie and wyona. this is pure speculation at this point (smile).

i'm interested in learning more about my connection to the elusive ashwood family...

thanks, janeen graper odonut@prodigy.net

Re: Ashwood - New York and New Hampshire

odonut — 2002-12-28 16:20:19Z

i am most definitely interested in english ashwoods. i've been able to tie back to william ashwod of ogdensburg, new york, whose parents were from england, according to the 1880 census. william was 34 years old in 1880 (approx. 36 years old) which means his parents were already in new york by 1846. does this information tie with you?
thanks for writing,
janeen

Re: Ashwood - New York and New Hampshire

odonut — 2002-12-28 16:20:19Z

yes, i am most definitely interested in ashwood's from england. my gggrandfather, william ashwood, reports in the 1880 census (ogdensburg, 241/14) that his parents were from england. william was born in new york in ~1846, thus his parents must have immigrated before that time... does this tie to you? thanks for writing, janeen

Re: Ashwood - New York and New Hampshire

odonut — 2002-12-28 16:20:19Z

Chris,
Yes, there are several of us interested in the Ashwood family/ies. How did your Ashwood's make their way to Minnesota? Do you have any family history that takes you back through NY to England? I'm still working on my Ashwood's in NY. I haven't yet been able to find the immigrant ancestor (sigh).
Have a safe and happy New Year.
