Thomas Sandreth Ashley and Malinda Hartley Ashley, ~1910
my great-great-grandparents.
Thomas Sandreth Ashley was born in 1834 in Lawrence county, Mississippi, to James Sandreth Ashley and Damaris Butler (Holloman) Ashley. He fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War with Company K of the 36th Mississippi Regiment, and was wounded at the battle of Corinth. Malinda Hartley was born in 1837 in Copiah county Mississippi. They married in 1859. They got swept up in the "Texas Fever" of the 1870's, and moved near Waco, Texas, in McLennan county, where he and his sons farmed, worked on railroad construction, and ran a drayage service. He died in 1911, and she died in 1913; both are buried in Woodbine, Texas. Their son Owen Ashley was my great-grandfather.
