In the Asbury GenForum, Sue Kimbrel writes:
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 .

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
