Sorry to take so long in responding to your response to my previous email. Here's what I am trying to find and, how it relates to your question.
I have DOCUMENTED my Aston ancestors back from my naternal grandfather George Hugh Aston b. Bells, TX 1887 m. Myrtle Neill Aston in 1907 through John Aston b. b. 1775 VA?? or PA?? m. Elizabeth Taylor (NOT a joke!) in 1798. This John Aston also has a son named John R. Aston b. 1816 Powhatan, VA. My challenge is now to find John "Senior's" parents.
I have been down many cul-de-sacs which had no documentation. Perhaps I am at a "dead end" but TWO candidates seem likely but are UNPROVEN but with LIMITED support. They are William Aston b. ??1730?? in PA whose second wife was Margaret Phipps - m. circa 1750. They MAY??
have had a son named John b. around 1755. I do have ample documentation on William Aston including the fact that he was in multiple Chester Co., PA locations and owned land there paying taxes, etc. However, I can find no documentaiton for John's birth although at least three different on line trees state this as the case. The other candidate for John "Senior's" Father is Daniel Aston. Please see a posting on this same site from Martha Bell Aston dated Dec. 19,2010 for supporting details but, it seems that while both Daniel and William MIGHT be John Sr's. Father neither can be fully proven at this time.
Needless to say, IF I turn up convincing support for either, I will post new information and please do likewise.
Also, please feel free to contact me directly IF you wish.
