INDEX

[1263] Margery Lindley was married several times. She also had an out of wedlock son by the name of Joshua Hadley who appears in several records with James Ashmore, Richard's son.

From Gover Pope:

Now the first thing I found to make me wonder about the father of James Ashmore was a clipping from Allie Marie Ashmore Pharr from Tx. she also desc from Joshua Bloomer Ashmore. This clipping tells of a James Ashmore and a Joshua Hadley who were half brothers that burn the ammunication wagon of Col Waddel to fight against the British rule. I decided to try and find the father of this James Ashmore. One thing is the James Ashmore son of Walter Ashmore was b in 1742 , it is recorded in the St.Paul Church as well as rest of his children . I got to looking and found where a Margery Lindley b in 1710 Ireland got preg by a Joshua Hadley and confessed to the Quakers in Jan of 1736. The father ran off an m a younger female and lived with her until his death.

Next I found a will for a Richard Ashmore dated in 1747 in Lancaster Co. Pa. he named his wife and a step son Johua, did not name his children, just all my children. He specified that step son was to get an equal share of his estate. I figured the children were minors in 1747 and Margery had to go to orphan court to get the inheritance for the minors. Another cousin has been helping Mary Ashmore Sewell and I with this, he is Wayland Ashmore. Wayland found the orphan court records for York Co. Pa. in these records it names Margery Ashmore as widow of Richard Ashmore, Widow of John Nelson, Widow of William Mcgarraugh, Widow of James Dickson. Ashmore died in 1747, Nelson died in 1754, McGarraugh died in 1759, Dickson died in 1767 Dickson did not name a wife but in the court records he is named.

It seems that John Nelson took pocession of the Ashmore inheritance and Margery had a hard time of getting the money, McGarraugh started the court action to her get the money plus interest, but died before she got it. Then after she m James Dickson in 1760 he went to court with her and she finally got the inheritance for herself, Joshua Hadley, James Ashmore and Edy Ashmore.. All names are plain to read.

Ref; The Pa Quaker book by Hinshaw tells of Margery and her preg by Joshua Hadley in 1736 Have copies of all four wills of Margery's husbands. Have copy of Pa. Orphan court records to prove the above marriages and who was who. Have documentation times two on the burning of the ammunication wagons in Carrabus Co.NC. The book, Sketches of Western NC. by Syrus Hunter says that James Ashmore and Joshua Hadley were half brothers and from the same rotten material.........Not so......

There were two James Ashmores in NC. at the same time, 1771, one in Orange Co. the other in Mechlenburg where Walter Ashmore Jr. was. Walter's son James Ashmore also m an Elizabeth ?? same name as did the other James. Now James Ashmore who m Elizabeth Balch went to the state of Georgia when he got in trouble by burning the Ammun wagons, he bought land next to Frederick Ashmore the son of the old Walter and Margaret, they lived and died in Baltimore, Md. Frederick was a brother to the Walter in Mechlenburg, NC. James stayed in Ga. for a few years, Walter in Mechlenburg sold land for James while he was in GA. James came back to the state line of NC and then into Tn. This James owned a Tavern in Jefferson Co. Tn. after the death of the Orange Co. NC. James that died in Chatham Co. NC. Another thing the James that was in Ga. with Frederick m Elizabeth Balch and came into Tn. as most of his children
carried the name of the siblings of Elizabeth Balch, Hezekiah, Amos, Rhoda , another two or three just can't remember of the top of my head.

I have been researhing the Ashmore surname for many years as my mother was an Ashmore, decided to do this in her memory as she dearly loved her people. Most researcher say that the James Ashmore we desc from was the son of a Walter and Margaret Ashmore found living in Baltimore Co. Md. in the early 1700;s Walter was b abt 1700 son of poss a John Ashmore. His son James was born in 1742 according to the church records there. They had this James producing his first child at age 14, this I could never accept. I got some inf from a cousin several years ago, written in a book, Sketches of Western NC. by Syrus L. Hunter. Hunter tells of nine young men dressing in ragged clothing, putting black something on their hands and faces so no one would reconize them, they sneaked into Col. Waddel's camp and blew up a wagon train full of ammunication on its way to SC. to bring the Regulatory movement under control. Now he says that two of the men were a James Ashmore and a Joshua Hadley. There were two James Ashmores in NC. at the same time, one James in Mechlenburg Co. where this event happened, the other lived in Orange Co. NC. Many of the Ashmores, Lindleys and Hadleys had moved abt the same time from Pa/Md. to NC. This was not to go unnoticed, I got the Va. Quaker book and no luck, another cousin got the Pa Quaker book. Well there was mention of a Mary Ashmore along with a Walter Ashmore who attended the Quaker wedding of a Joshua Hadley in 1752 in Pa. don't remember the township off hand. A margery Lindley also attended the wedding, then later there was Margery Lindley confessing to the Quakers that she was with child by Joshua Hadley son of Simon this was in Jan 1736, said Joshua Hadley had run off and married another younger woman, he m Patience Brown in 1735, his first wife Mary Rowland died in 1734 leaving him with three children. Joshua Hadley lived with Patience Brown Hadley until his death in Orange Co. NC. in abt 1769. Thus Margery Lindley had an illig son by Joshua who was never accepted by the Hadley family. Then a cousin found a will of a Richard Ashmore dated in 1747 in Lancaster Co. Pa. He named his wife Margery and a stepson Joshua, did not name his own children, just all my children. If Joshua Hadley was born in 1736 then Richard's children would be probably younger that him, thus I felt Margery would probably have to go to Orphan Court to make it possible for her to settle Richard's will as she was the Adm. To make the rest of the story short, have found where Margery m a John Nelson after Richard's death, John Nelson's will was dated in 1751 in York Co. Pa. He named Margery and two children in his will,one was not a Nelson. Then Margery m a William McGarraugh, after marry him she went to court to get the inheritance for her self an son Joshua Hadley, James Ashmore and Edy Ashmore. The court not only gave all four their inheritance according to Richards will but added interest to the amount.

This makes me believe that John Nelson took charge of their inheritance and used it as his own. Not done yet??????/ This court record names Margery as the late widow of John Nelson and before that the late widow of Richard Ashmore of Lancaster Co. Then Margery widow of William McGarraugh m a James Dickson , his will is dated in 1767 in York Co. Pa. This fourth husband did not name a wife, so Margery must have died but did name three daus in the will. Margery Lindley was an unwed mother then a widown three times from 1747----1759. Guess she was worn out from having so many husbands and kids by 1767. I have a copy of Richard;s Ashmores will, have ordered the wills and settlement records of the other three husbands , all in York Co. Pa. James Ashmore and Joshua Hadley were in Mechlenburg Co. NC. by 1771 when the burning of the ammunication wagons took place. Have a copy of Joshua Hadley's will dated in 1805 in Carrabus Co. NC. he lived on Rocky River near the Rochy River Presbyterian Church where one of James Ashmore;s wife's brothers preached. Both James Ashmores in NC m females name Elizabeth , my James m Elizabeth Balch b abt 1740 north of Deer Creek in Baltimore Co. Md. Their first child , Hezekiah was born in 1756, where they m or where Hezekiah was born ,just don't know. I have the Balch of America Book, and Elizabeth Balch had abt seven brothers,
four were Presbyterain ministers, one name Hezekiah Balch. Seems Elizabeth name most of her children after her family. One of James and Elizabeth's son was named Joshua Bloomer, this one we desc from, he was b 1761 in NC. according to census records. Elizabeth's gmother was Martha Bloomer and the name Bloomer has been pasted down in the Ashmore and Balch line. Martha must have been dearly loved to have some many desc named for her. James Ashmore named a son Joshaua and Joshua Hadley named a son James, seems they were very close in real life. One James Ashmore died in Chatham Co. N.C. but our James Ashmore lived to come to Tn with all his family as he owned a Tavern in Greene Co. Tn. and has been found in counties of middle Tn.
After the trouble in Mechlenburg Co. NC. the Governor gave orders to hang all involved in the burning of the wagons, James Ashmore moved his family to Ga. and bought land next to a Fredrick Ashmore one of the sons of the old Walter Ashmore in Md. a brother to the Walter Jr. in Mechlenburg Co. NC. While in Ga. he had a couple children born there and got Walter Ashmore of NC. to sell some land for him in NC. A few years later James came back to the edge of NC and then into Tn. I have contacted many of the Hadley researcher, none seem to have ever heard of this Joshua Hadley when all the time the data was in the Pa.
Quaker book. None of the Lindley's have any information on Margery Lindley, some say she died in childhood.

The early spring 1760 Orphan court records of York Co. Pa. show where
William McGarraugh and wife Margery went to court to get the
inheritance from Richard Ashmore's estate. Willaim died before they
could get the money. Then in the late fall of 1760 James Dixon and
wife Margery, late widow of William McGarraugh, former widow of John
Nelson and Richard Ashmore went to court to get the Ashmore
inheritance. They got the money plus interest for; Margery, Joshua
Hadley (he was grown at this time and probably left the Lindley name
off), son James Ashmore and daughter, Edy Ashmore. James Ashmore and
Joshua Hadley were both on the tax list for York Co. Pa. in 1760,
living seperate from each other and mother, Margery, so I assume they
had both married. Since James Dixon did not name a wife in his will I
assume Margery had died by 1767 or she could have migrated with her
two son who were found in 1771 in Mechlenburg Co. N.C. Joshua Hadley
died in Cabarrus Co. N.C. but James Ashmore migrated to Tn. The
Orphan court records also reenforce the fact that Margery was the
widow of Richard Ashmore, John Nelson and William McGarraugh.
