Capt Thomas Askey (1727-1806) Family Tree Available
Hello.I have a good start on the US descendants of Thomas Askey and I am willing to share/trade the GEDCOM with anyone who is working on a similar Askey project.From Capt Thom on down is reasonably easy with all the resources on the internet.I also live near Snow Shoe, PA and am gathering pictures of the Askey Cemetery which may be of use to someone.If you are interested in viewing the tree I have a GedHTree set of HTML files I update online about once a week with new additions.I also have the tree on Ancestry.com for anyone who wants to view/edit my sandbox.
My only struggle is the same as everyone before me - who is Thom Askey/Erskine/Aspy?Was he even an Erskine first?I found the immigration ship log where he came to Maryland in 1742 (didn't have any choice as it was a prison ship).His name on the log was Thomas Aspy. Other places he is called "Aspy/Aspey" also.I do not see the name "Erskine" associated with him except for in stories written by others in the past 100 years.
Send a email to me or post here if you are interested in sharing [email protected]
Thanks.
Andy Askey
