Sarah Asbury was the daughter of William Asbury and Jane Unknown. (Some people say it is Jean Ankerum, but I have no proof)

After William Asbury of Fauquier County, VA died (around 1793), the widow Jane Asbury and half the children moved to Harrison County, (W) VA and the other half of the children moved to KY.

Below is a chancery case that involves two twin slaves originally owned by Jane Asbury where some folks sue the Asbury’s over the ownership. I just included the pertinent genealogy info.
