Biography

Thomas Aston of Fole or Checkley in Staffordshire, England.[1]

Caution: Two Thomas Astons Confused

According to Lewis, this Thomas Aston is the son of John Aston, esq.[2], however Richardson does not list a son named Thomas. [3]

This Thomas Aston is often confused with Thomas Aston of Aston, Cheshire, who married to Bridget Harewell.

These two Thomas Astons are sometimes reported as the father of Ellen (Unknown), wife of Robert Lowthropp.

Research Notes

Thomas Aston is reported as the possible father (no mother's name reported) of Ellen, wife of Robert Lowthropp.[1] Circumstantial evidence only. Both the wills of Robert Lowthropp and his wife Ellen mentioned a Richard Ashton. However, relationship with this Richard Ashton is unclear.

Note that Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies reports Thomas Aston, of Aston, Cheshire, and wife Bridget Harewell with only sons (no daughter Ellen).[4] Interestingly, their son John named one of his daughters Ellen.[4]

This Thomas Aston, of Checkley, Staffordshire is not the identical Thomas Aston, of Aston, Cheshire; the two places (Checkley, Stafford and Aston, Cheshire) are about 50 miles apart.

Harewell-23 and Aston-2 do not represent the same person because: Thomas is a man.
