• Ashbrook Family Tree (2 KB)
  John Ashbrook arrived in Philadelphia Oct. 1682, on the ship Antelope from Belfast. I descend from John as follows: John > Aaron > Moses > James L. > Matilda > William > John Hooker > Luther. James Ashbrook appears on Pulaski Co. tax records Aug. 24, 1808 as a male older than 21. He married Christina Fry April 23, 1811 in Wayne Co., KY. According to Pulaski Co. records, Matilda married John Elliott May 9, 1839. But the next record that I can locate for Matilda is the 1850 Russell Co., KY census using the surname Ashbrook. She is living next to her father, James with son William, age ten, and twins, a nephew and niece, age 1 month, John Wesley Ashbrook and Nancy W. Ashbrook. William is the father of John Hooker Ashbrook, my great grandfather.

  My Flanagan line in Russell Co. begins with John Flanagan arriving by 1810 settling on 100 acres on Lily Creek. From "The Cemeteries Under Lake Cumberland and Russell Co.
