Notes – T. & S. stands for Thomas and Sarah Asher my ancestors. I have not followed several possible relations through time prefering to concentrate on those with the surname of Asher at birth who have a connection with early Indiana counties of Wayne, Franklin, Rush and Delaware (although I confess I’ve somehow missed tracking Penina Asher Palin, which error I should rectify.) Possible other relations include Rhoda ?? Asher Holtzclaw, and a couple of other Hicks and Holtzclaw individuals who appear in early Wayne County, Indiana records as well as a large clan of Asher’s in Missouri and Tennessee.
