More than one source has noted that when John Ashley arrived in 1810 to Kanawha County, WV to farm the land, he was the 4th family to the area of Big Sandy Creek, about 3 miles below the mouth of Left Hand Creek. The location became known as Ashley's Settlement. This location is in the direct vicinity of today's Osbornes Mills in Amma, WV. He arrived from Monroe Co, VA. and previous to this was born and raised in Surry County, NC. He met and married Mary ALFORD who was born in 1779 in NC. Together, they had 10 children; 7 daughters; Sarah, wife of William HAMMACK; Mary, w/of Charles YOUNG, Elizabeth, w/o Mathew Geary; Nancy, w/o Hewitt Cobb; Mahala, w/o Bennett RADER; Susannah, & Eliza, w/o Skelton Cock & 3 sons; William, husband of Elizabeth WALKER; James, h/o Harriet RADER; & John Ashley, h/o Deborah JAMES. Some time soon after his arrival to Kanawha Co, he moved his family into what is now Clay County on the Elk River and built a low head dam to divert the water.
