INDIAN CAPTIVE

In 1778 the decision was made to move and settle in Western Virginia in that part referred to as Kentucky. They would be joining others of the Ashby family already in Kentucky, including an uncle also named (Capt.) Stephen. Like many before them they would build rafts and float down the Ohio River to the "Falls of Louisville" thence overland to what is now Shelby or Nelson County, Kentucky. In the early part of 1789 Stephen with his family, a wife and eight children started on their journey to a new life on the frontiers of what was then Western Virginia. There was Stephen and Susannah, Miles about nineteen, Obediah called Beady, Robert, Thomas, John, David about four or five years old, Tinsen, and two girls, Mary and Sarah. The count might not be accurate as there was an infant mentioned in one of the accounts of the adventure that cannot be named.

Married Sally Catlett on 30 October, 1816, Shelby Co., KY. Tinson is not mentioned in the will of his father Stephen Ashby, as he died before his father. He is buried in Shelby County (now Spencer County), Kentucky.
