Facts and Events
James Ashley settled in Fort Ann, Washington County, N.Y., his native place. He inherited his father's homestead farm there and on it built the house, a picture of which is on the opposite page, in which he passed his life. The homestead was burned in January, 1896. Mr. Ashley's life was a quiet yet busy one. He was engaged in farming in Fort Ann, and owned timber lands in different parts of the state. The transportation of the timber was done by hired men under his supervision and, later, that of his oldest son. He was an enterprising man and accumulated a competency for those times. He died respected and lamented by his fellow townsmen as a just and upright man. _PLACE: Ft. Ann, NY References
