There is some controversy over whether William Ashmore was married once or twice. The other wife attributed to him is Hettie Ford. It seems that every researcher has a different account of which children were from which wife. However, the only thing that anyone has found that is relatively certain is that William Ashmore and Mary Hadden were the parents of William Lindley Ashmore. There is no record of Mary Hadden's death or burial that anyone has found. However, it appears at this time that Hettie Ford was actually married to a different Ashmore. I am going with this theory for now as it is the one put forth by Mary Ashmore Sewell, who impresses me (Joni Vella) as being a very thorough researcher and has a reputation among others as such. JKV
