He was the son of Col. Samuel Ashley, one of the proprietors of the town of Claremont, and one of the early settlers. Was Captain of the Claremont company at Bennington, and established Ashley's Ferry in 1784. In October 1788, he married Olive Lawrence. Another record shows an Oliver to have married Eunice Doolittle Aug. 9, 1770. If the same Oliver it is probable that Olive Lawrence was a second wife.
