*********************************************
1814 is the correct death year for Thompson Ashby despite the conflict in the inscription in his headstone. His will was probated April 1814 in Shelby Co., Ky.
(J.L. #47713575)
*********************************************
Thompson was crushed by a horse in Shelby Co., KY, several years before before the family moved to Indiana. Although his tombstone inscription in Ladoga Cemetery reads 1773-1825, the family history states that "he left a widow with a houseful of children." Lettice Ashby was listed as the head of household in the 1820 Shelby Co., KY census with 6 children (ages 7-19), 4 children having married. Familysearch lists Thompson's death date as 23 Apr 1814. Other sources indicate his death may have occurred between 1812-1815. Since the entire Ashby family moved to Indiana in 1828, he may have been disinterred and taken with them to their new home, OR a marker could have been placed at the Ashby gravesite in memory of him when Letitia died in 1845. If the marker was made many years after his death, it could be the year was inscribed incorrectly.
