"William Ashe Alston (16 Mar. 1812-30 May 1842), Theodosius Alston (23 Mar. 1816-1836), and John Ashe Alston (14 May 1817-8 Oct. 1858) were the earliest Alston students at the University; William Ashe attended U.Va. in sessions 7-9 (1830-1833), Theodosius in sessions 11-12 (1834-1836), and John Ashe in session 13 (1836-1837). The Alston family tended to use the same names in each generation, but these birth dates and the name “Wm A. Alston” of Georgetown, SC, listed as “parent or guardian” in the U.Va. Matriculation Books, identifies these students as the sons of William Algernon Alston (1782-1860) of The Oaks, a rice plantation near Georgetown, SC — now a part of Brookgreen Gardens — and his wife, Mary (Allston) Young Alston (1778-1844).
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of information about the lives of William Ashe Alston and Theodosius Alston. Neither man is reliably listed in the family genealogies... (Barringer)"
"What little we do know about William Ashe Alston (1812-1842) is that he attended U.Va. for only a few months in session 7, and was released “by letter” to return home in October 1830; he returned to U.Va. in sessions 8 and 9 to complete his education. (U.Va. Matriculation Books) He became a lawyer, and on 18 Apr. 1840, married Anne Porter (1816-1841), daughter of Alexander Porter of Louisiana. He had just returned from a trip to Europe at the time of his death in New York City. (Winyah Observer)"
