 Abt 1756 - 1780 (~ 24 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. | Hankerson ASHBY was born about 1756 (son of Thomas ASHBY and Mary Ann MCCULLOUGH); died in Aug 1780. Notes:
Hankerson Ashby was killed by Indians in August 1780 while serving under George Rogers Clark; he was granted land warrants in KY posthumously which went to his heirs. Since he never married, the heirs at law would be his living siblings since his parents were apparently both dead by the time the warrants were granted. I have seen where his brother Bladen inherited Hankerson's land. In The Ashby Book Vol. 2 it says that his other brothers also inherited his land. I am still checking on this to see exactly who got Hankerson's land as heirs at law. I do recall that Bladen definitely got some of the land.
