Elizabeth Ashton was a daughter of Col. Henry Ashton, resident of Westmoreland County. Col. Ashton died there before 1731 when his will was probated. He was quite wealthy and Elizabeth seems to have been his only direct heir:
Westmoreland Co. 26 Feb. 1730, The will of Col. Henry Ashton “Item. I give unto my Loving Daughter, Elizabeth Ashton, a thousand accars of land in Stafford County lying on Difficult Run wch: I have a Pattent for two thousand accars which ye other thousand accars I gave to my Cosin, Burditt Ashton, which said thousand Accars I give to my said Daughter, Elizabeth Ashton and to the eirs of her body lawfully begotten for ever; Likewise I give unto my Daughter, Elizabeth Ashton and her heirs sevin good Negros none to be above forty yeares old nor to be under ten years old; Likewise I give unto my Daughter, Elizabeth, twenty head of Cattle and twenty head of Hogs and a good fether bead and all furniture belonging to a bead; And likewise I give to my Daughter, Elizabeth, fifteen pounds Sterling or three thousand six hundred pounds of tobacco to by her some household stuff. . .” rec 30 Nov. 1731
