Famous Great-Great grandfather:
Asa Gabriel's 2nd great grandfather was James Money (Mooney Monnet.)From Gene Perkins: "James Money was one of four men who first walked into Kentucky with Daniel Boone. James Money was the surveyor. On their 3rd trip into Kentucky, the group was attacked by Indians. Boone and Money were the only two who survived and escaped. James Money was given a large tract of land in Green County for his services. One of his many descendants, also named James Money, still lives there today." In Part VII of "First Settlers of Ye Plantations of Piscataway and Woodbridge, Olde Last New Jersey, 1664-1714," which was published in 1935 after his visit to Kentucky, Orra Monnette wrote this conclusion: "He was called both James Money and James Mooney, as testified by descendants, living at this date in both Green and Shelby Counties, Kentucky, and he lies buried in an old farm burial place, near Coakley, Green County, Kentucky." He was the companion of Daniel Boone in 1769.
Asa Gabriel Close was born in Kentucky and also married his wife, Nancy Jane Parker there. In 1900 they traveled with their children to Denton County, Texas where he was a carpenter who built several homes in Aubrey, and a farmer until his death in 1910 just outside of Aubrey. He suffered a heart attack while plowing in the field.
