General Notes: Husband - George Ashman

---

He probably came to America in 1670, with the Cromwells, Gists, Morays, Murrays, Baileys, Philipses, Hawkinses, Bards, Wilmots, Besons and Rattenburgs, who formed a colony and first settled in Calvert County, Maryland. He afterwards moved to Anne Arundel County, on the south side of the Patapsco river. On November 30, 1894, he received a grant from King William III. of a farm of 500 acres on Gunpowder Neck, then Cecil County, which he called "Ashman's Hope," and whither he removed some time after receiving the grant.

In 1692 he and Richard Cromwell, with four others, were elected by the freeholders of Patapsco parish (later St. Paul's), as vestrymen, and as such had civil duties as well as religious to perform.
In 1693, he was presiding justice of the county courts of Baltimore. He died leaving a will dated August 10, 1698, which was probated February 23, 1699, and of which his wife Elizabeth was executrix. He devised to his son John, when he should be sixteen years old, his plantation called "Ashman's Hope;" to his daughter Charity, when she should be sixteen years old, or married, his plantation called "Charity's Delight" and to his daughter Elizabeth a plantation called "George's Fancy." In case of his children dying without issue he devised his lands to his brothers James and John. He also refers to his step-sons, Philip, Thomas and William Cromwell, whom he calls sons-in-law. At the time of his death his children were minors. He was a man of prominence and a member of the Church of England. He was buried in St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore.
