Son of Rev. Stephen Ashby and Susannah Foote.
ESCAPED INDIAN CAPTIVITY
In the early part of 1789, his father Stephen with family, mother, and seven other siblings started on their journey to a new life on the frontiers of what was then Western Virginia.
In 1789, sixteen year old Beady Ashby was told of his father's intentions to escape captivity in Indiana by the Pottawattomie Indians and pleaded with his father to go with him. The mother's intercessions prevailed and the two left the camp intending to escape. Mr. Ashby having escaped from captivity began a seven year exhausting effort on behalf of his captive and suffering family. Susannah and her remaining children were to remain in bondage seven years. Escaped Indian captivity with father in 1789.
