    <abstract id="aspace_8218987f1089f8ed1c375287e09203ac">"Ashcraft Family Genealogy Report" compiled by John Marion Ashcraft, Jr. in 1997, tracing the genealogy and history of the Ashcraft family from 1776 to the 1990s. Includes photocopies of records documenting births, marriages, deaths, and military service (including pension records), most dating from the early 19th century. A copy of the section ("The Ashcrafts") from the "History of Worthington, West Virginia and Surrounding Communities" is included in the collection. There is also an excerpt from "West Virginians in the Revolutionary War" (No. 1, 1959) that lists Ashcraft (Ashcroft) family members' service information. There are photographs of family members, most identified, that were photocopied for the "Report". Alternative spellings of Ashcraft include Ashcrofte and de Ashcroft.</abstract>
