Elizabeth Ann Asbill 1837-1924

Sherrod Asbill 1842-1863

On February 2, 1863, Thomas Jefferson Asbill and his 21-year-old son Sherrod were either murdered by renegades or hung by Cherokee Indians for stealing horses in the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma during the Civil War. Both of these stories have been told within the family. Three of Thomas' younger sons died of childhood illnesses.
The Asbill Family Newsletter out of Northview, Oklahoma, dated June 15, 1992, states that Nancy Kincaid (Wood) Asbill and three of her sons, Andrew T. Asbill 1843- , James F. Asbill 1854-1865, and David R. Asbill 1857-1863, are buried on the old Asbill homeplace in Jasper Township, Crawford County, Arkansas. Their graves were unmarked in 1992, but the headstones and footstones were still standing. The owners at that time had put barbed wire around the graves to keep their cattle out.
