Some Descendants of Michael Ashford & Rachel Neville
The following chart is believed to trace the line of descent from Michael Ashford and Rachel Neville to Catherine Lucella Ashford Breidenthal. It is not an attempt to list each and every one of their descendants. In general, female lines have not been followed, nor have male lines more than one generation away from Lucella's. Unfortunately, the line of descent is more tangled and problematic that a chart allows. I've attempted to identify these problems in the notes. Please keep such uncertainties in mind as you peruse this chart; and if you can shed light on this line, please contact me at nancy@nancysdeadrelatives.com.
