Notes

  • Family tradition states that these families are descended from Col. John ASHENHURST, a Cromwellian, who moved to Ireland after the Restoration of the Crown. However, information received through recent correspondence with another researcher indicates that Col. John may not have had male heirs. (1)
  • "The Ashenhursts are descendants of the family of 1.  John Ashenhurst 2.  Randall Ashenhurst  - OUR LINE of Ashenhurst Hall Straford Shire, England ---The records were burnt in the 1921 revolution. They came to America in 1793." (5)
  • Bow is an unincorporated community in Cumberland County, Kentucky, United States. It lies along Route 90 southeast of the city of Burkesville, the county seat of Cumberland County. Its elevation is 607 feet (185 m).
  • CUMBERLAND COUNTY was organized in 1798 when it became Kentucky's thirty-second county. At the time it was a very large county encompassing what are now parts of Metcalfe, Monroe, Russell, Wayne and Clinton Counties. The Walker line further confused things, as some farms which were believed to have been located in Kentucky actually ended up in Tennessee. Cumberland County received its name from the Cumberland River which flows through the county from end to end.
