    Notes:

    [EFA4.FTW]

    Samuel Ashley settled in Westfield. He was a carpenter by trade, but naturally was engaged to a large extent in farming. He also kept the inn at Westfield for a number of years. He was a considerable land owner, and had a quarter interest in a gristmill at Two Mile Brook in company with his brother Dea. David Ashley and Lieut. James Dewey.
    In 1719 he sold to his brother David half the homelot which had belonged to their father. His name appears either as grantor or grantee in a large number of deeds of land during his residence in Westfield.

    Samuel Ashley was conspicuous in the management of town affairs and his name is to be seen in the records in various connections. He was elected tythingman in 1697, 1698 and 1703. On November 1, 1700, he was chosen with his brother Deacon David and two others a committee to build the schoolhouse. He was elected a selectman in 1703, 1704 and 1720. In 1709 he was elected town constable, but refused to serve. On March 8, 1713-4, he was appointed one of a committee of three to settle the bounds between Westfield and Springfield. He united with the Westfield church April 15, 1714, and was very active in its interests. He was appointed on the committee to build a new meeting-house in 1719, and, after its completion, was chosen a member of the seating committee in October, 1721. He continued to be interested in the welfare of the church up to his death, and his services were considered worthy of a special vote of the town after his death, which was presented to his widow.(*)

    Samuel married Kellogg, Sarah on 27 Apr 1686 in Hadley, Hampshire, MA. Sarah (daughter of Kellogg, Joseph and Joanna) was born on 27 Aug 1666 in Hadley , MA; died on 30 Jan 1728/29 in Westfield Cemetery. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
