Asahel is my Fifth Great Grandfather. He was called "Asa". He was killed by Indians at abt 23 years of age.
09 October 2018: Sadly his father Darius was also killed by Indians a few years later. Darius was working in his field plowing when an Indian attacked him and they fought to the death of both men. If I remember right, the Indian man was the Chief of his tribe.
Since I am in process of moving from one state to another I don't have all of my files with me but as soon as I get everything moved to my new state I will revise the info and put all the info I have about Asahel's and Darius's death in this post.
