Event Notes Note (1) Findagrave reports Samuel Ash's burial at Johnsons Island Confederate Cemetery, Marblehead, Ottawa Co, Ohio. Basis for that is not clear but is presumed to be from prison records which showed his death there and assumed that he was also buried there. Findagrave has no headstone photo. Perhaps he was buried there and is still there, or perhaps he was buried there and later disinterred for reburial at Underwood Cemetery. We may never know. In any event, there is a gravestone for him at Underwood Cemetery, a photo of which clearly shows this birth date as Mar 31 1820 and his death date as Jan 3 1863. Note (2) Name on headstone: Nancy N. Ash Gain. Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Dec 1847. Note (4) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Dec 1854. Note (5) His second marriage, her first. Note (6) Not with family in 1870 Census.
