Biography
Melvina "Milly" Ash was the daughter of Charles Ash and Grassy "Grace" Strange-Ash. Milly had come to Kentucky from Maryland with her parents.
On May 7, 1798, Milly married Ignatius Strange. She was 21 at the time of her marriage. A copy of their marriage bond is on microfilm in the Filson Library in Louisville, KY. She was married in Bardstown.
Milly and Ignatius sons were Joseph, William Ambrose, Ignatius Jr and James. Their daughters were Nancy and Mary Polly.
