    Other Events:

    • Census: 1820, Tyler Co, (W)VA

    Notes:

    Many researchers identify this Christian Ash as Christopher "Christian" Ash, with the same 1770 birth date, but with a death date of Aug 20 1842 at Center Point in Doddridge County. However, we have found no conclusive evidence that he was known as Christopher, and we have also found strong evidence that he died in the year 1828.

    A rough headstone at Underwood Cemetery near Ashley, Doddridge County, is inscribed with "Chrispher Ash." It has no dates, and it is not even certain that the marker was placed at the time of his death. This may or may not be the headstone of this Christian Ash.

    He was listed as Christian Ash in the 1820 Census, with his household enumerated as follows:
    1820 Census, Tyler County, Virginia (now West Virginia):
    Name: Christian Ash
    Enumeration Date: August 7, 1820
    Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 1
    Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over: 1
    Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2
    Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 1
    Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25: 2
    Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over : 1
    Number of Persons - Engaged in Agriculture: 1
    Free White Persons - Under 16: 4
    Free White Persons - Over 25: 2
    Total Free White Persons: 8
    Total All Persons - White, Slaves, Colored, Other: 8

    On 21 October 1828, an inventory/appraisement was done on "the personal property of Christian Ash, deceased." This would indicate that his death occurred sometime during that year, probably within the several preceding months. The two-page appraisal was filed in Tyler County probate records in December 1828. Christian Ash's residence in the Center Point or Ashley area was located in Tyler County at that time, since Doddridge County was not formed until 1845. The appraisement was submitted to the court by Lewis Ripley, William Wells, Stephen Gatrell and W. Underwood [probably William S. Underwood, 1780-1866], all of whom where probably Christian Ash's friends and neighbors.

    Further bolstering the notion that Christian Ash died in 1828 is the fact that his wife Lovina was listed as head of household in the 1830 Census, as follows:
    1830 Census, Tyler County, Virginia, now West Virginia
    Name: Lovinia Ash
    Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1
    Free White Persons - Females - 15 thru 19: 2
    Free White Persons - Females - 20 thru 29: 2
    Free White Persons - Females - 60 thru 69: 1
    Free White Persons - Under 20: 2
    Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 3
    Total Free White Persons: 6
    Total - All Persons (Free White, Slaves, Free Colored): 6

    In 1850, Lovina Ash was enumerated in Doddridge County in the household of daughter & son-in-law Mary & James Weekly.
    .

    Christian married Lovina "Libby" SWIGER. Lovina (daughter of John William SWIGER and Mary DUVAL) was born 17 Oct 1770, Pennsylvania; died 20 Sep 1856; was buried , Underwood Cemetery, Rt 23, Ashley, Doddridge Co, WV. [Group Sheet]
