They share a story of love and rejection. They both loved the same woman, Lady Jane Cooper, daughter of Baronet John Cooper and wife Ann, daughter of Sir Anthony Ashley. It was decided between them, whichever she rejected, would migrate to the Colonies. William lost, and came to the Colonies. Scant early records seem to point to William settling in Accomack Co. VA. About 1650, John and Jane Cooper Ashley also migrated to the Colonies. They had two known sons, Thomas born about 1650, and Isaac born about 1660. Thomas stayed in VA and Isaac moved to Maryland, as those are the states their records are found in. There are many Ashley descendents in the USA that trace their lines back to John Ashley and Lady Jane Cooper and brother William through their children. | Mary Ashley Spouse1: John Root | b.1644 d.1702 | Father: Robert Ashley Mother: | | Robert Ashley | b. d.1682 | Father: Mother: | | Robert Ashley | b. d.1602 | Father: Mother: | | Samuel Ashley Spouse1: Sarah Kellogg | b.1664 d.1761 | Father: David Ashley Mother: | | Thomas I Ashley Spouse1: Ann Plowman | b.1650 Lancaster County, Virginia, Colonial America d.1720 Salmon Creek, Bertie County, North Carolina, Colonial America | Father: John Ashley OF LANCASTER COUNTY Mother: Jane ? | | Thomas Jr Ashley | b.1710 Lancashire, England, United Kingdom d.1790 BERTIE CO., NC | Father: Thomas Ashley I Mother: Ann Plowman | | William Ashley Spouse1: Jane Dutcher | b.1742 d. | Father: Aaron Ashley Mother: Sarah Day | | | | | |
