Any help with this family will be appreciated.

JOHN P. ASHBY b. Jan 1823 TN m. LUCY CATHERINE ? b. Abt. 1830 TN. They probably married Abt. 1844 in Lincoln County. John P. Ashby married a second time in Texas to HANNAH E.? b. Jan 1848 Alabama . They probably married Abt.1868 in Rusk County.

From the reference census records (See below.), the children of John P. Ashby and Lucy Catherine ? are:
i. Saphronia Ashby, b. Abt. 1846 TN.
ii. Nancy J. Ashby, b. Abt. 1848 TN.
iii. Samuel Thomas Ashby, b. Abt. 1852 TX.
iv. Auk A. Ashby, b. Abt. 1854 TX.
v. John P. Ashby Jr, b. Abt. 1856 TX.
vi. Hudson Ashby, b. Abt. 1858 TX.

The children of John P. Ashby and HANNAH E. ? are:
vii. James W. Ashby, b. Feb. 1870 TX. (James married IDELLE ? ? b. May 1876 TX.)
viii. Claude D. Ashby, b. Jul 1886 TX.
ix. Frances C. Ashby, b. Sep 1888 TX.

In the 1850 census John P. Ashby is residing in Lincoln Co, TN, immediately next door to TRAVIS Ashby b. 1796 North Carolina. (Travis m. REBECCA GROCE b. 1798 North Carolina.) I can only guess that John P and Travis are son and father, respectively. Travis Ashby is known to be the son of HALIFAX Ashby b. Abt. 1768 VA.
