Thomas Edwin Ashton was born Mar 1, 1829 in the town of Lockport, Niagra County, New York to Thomas Charles (1802-1883) and Emeline (Baker) Ashton (1805-1885) of New York. He was one of seven children born of their union. The other children were Mary Elizabeth, Alson A., Emeline, John Ardscoe, Martha Ann and Julia Alice.
He married Lucy Amelia Williams who had emigrated to America from England with her parents and siblings. They were blessed with the following children: Clara Louise, Franklin Eugene, Ellen Amelia, Morris Albert, William Alson, Louisa Fairman, Jessie Elizabeth, Edith May, Archie Fairman and Charles Edwin, for a total of ten children, who they raised in Holt, Kansas, where Thomas made a living for his family as a farmer. He died in 1901 in Holton, Jackson Co., Kansas and his dear wife, Lucy Amelia, died in 1920 and was buried next to her husband.
Their youngest son, Charles Edwin, would grow up and head West to Oregon in 1910. He married Emma Rosella Rice and they were blessed with four children: Lucy Pauline, John Paul, Hazel Kirk, and Charles Rice Ashton. Thomas Edwin and Lucy were buried at Holton Cemetery, Holton, Jackson Co., Kansas, but the Ashton name and legacy had made it West to Oregon, as mentioned earlier, in 1910, and Charles Edwin's brother, John Paul, who had settled in Benton County, had met and fallen in love with Otis Myrtle Bass (1891-1964), a native of North Carolina. They married and became the proud parents of three children: Pauline, b.1914, Ada, b.1915, and Daisy Mae, b.1917. Daisy Mae grew up, fell in love with and married Delivan Lillard Burkhart (1913-1998). Delivan was the son of Elmer Francis Burkhart (1888-1933) and Elsie Elizabeth (Lillard) Burkhart (1889-1968). His middle name was his mother's maiden name. His grandfather was Abraham Lincoln Lillard (1864-1915), a native Oregonian from Elk City, Lincoln Co., Oregon. His grandmother was Caroline Maria (Voss) Lillard (1869-1948). She was the 1st generation American born to her German emigrant parents from the Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany, which is near the border of Denmark. Elmer Francis Burkhart was the grandson of Raymond Sanderson Burkhart, who had come with his parents and siblings on the Oregon Trail in 1847 to help settle the Albany-Lebanon area of Linn County, Oregon. There was much pioneer heritage in the Ashton family, all across the great land of America. May they all Rest in Eternal Peace in Paradise.
