General Notes

Francis Asbury was "transported" meaning that he was brought over as a servant to work his way to America. Transported people agreed to give service for a certain period of time to pay for their transportation. This info was obtained from The Early Settlers of Maryland, by Gus Skordas. It is believed the Francis had at least two sons, Francis & Henry. Henry later moved to Virginia.

ASBURY OF WESTMORELAND CO., VA BY B. C. Holtzclaw. University of
Richmond. obtained at Ky. Historical. Society. 929.A799 58 ppg.

It is possible that Henry Asbury was a son of Francis Asbury of Kent Co. Md., who was granted land in Kent Co. in 1681, was drowned there in 1682, and whose wife Mary and daughter Mary are briefly mentioned in the Maryland records (Warrant C.B. No. 2, fol. 375, Maryland Land Office: Kent Co. Bonds, Box 1, Folder 55, Archives; "Archives of Maryland" Vol. 17, p.91; Baldwin "Md. Calendar of Wills", Vol 1, p. 182



Asbury is also an English place name, but of uncertain origin, although the second element is derived from Old English burh = fortified town. The first element may have been derived from Ash or a medieval given name. It was predominately found in the West Midlands area of England.

Am interested in finding the names of the slaves owned by the Asbury
family, Francis, Henry and their parents. They lived at Sam's Creek in
Frederick, Maryland. I think this was in Frederick County. The years
were form 1740's to 1820's. Any information please e-mail me at....
