My great grandparents were Ephriam and Mary Ann Moore Aston. Their son Ira Jacob, Fannie's brother, was my grandfather. He was the oldest of their four children, born in 1857. I also have hit a brick wall. I only started this past week in researching my family tree and can find absolutely noting past Ephriam and Mary Ann.
I have found different years of Ephriam's birth as well as different places of birth, along with his first name spelled differently and in some cases Austin listed as his last name instead of Aston. Also, Mary Ann's place of birth is different on some sites. I would really like to find information of their parents and if there were any siblings. I'm assuming that somewhere back they came from England since that is where most of the Aston's came from, but I would like to have confirmation.
