WAR OF 1812
Aden (Eden, Oden, Edin) was born around 1783 in 
North Carolina. His parents were Dabney A. Ashburn SR.  (1770-?  ) and Frances Evans Ashburn (1766-1816).  
Dabney was 33 and Frances was 17.


Aden served in the War of 1812.
 He enlisted on December 20, 1813 
Private in Captain Thomas Eldridge's Company of Mounted Men
7th Regiment (Perkins' Batallion) Of Mississippi Militia
Madison County, Alabama.  
He was mustered out on February 8, 1814.

The United States Geneaology Project (Alabama) shows the following: 
Ashborn, Aden, private (d. in war) - disabled?
I also found one source listing him as a 'corporal'

 Aden has at least 'one' other brother who served in the War of 1812.  Records show that his brother Lewis was in the same Company and Regiment of the Mississippi Militia.
Aden received 200 acres of land from John Sevier.  
It was located on the south-side of the Obed River in Overton County, Tennessee - I continue to search for confirming records of proof. (Many Ashburns lived/settled in the Overton County, Tennessee, area.)
  Cited in the family tree "Tale of Talley/Mayo"  created by "pmorrison5882"


Aden married Mary Glaves Rhea (Rhead) in October of 1814 in Cedar Point, Madison County, Alabama.  
He died shortly after the two were married.  The inventory of his estate in Madison County was dated 1815. 
He had no children.  


I am unable to find a burial record/site for Aden.  
Find A Grave says 'Body lost or destroyed' - I just do not like the sound of that.  Someone… somewhere… must know something handed down from … well … someone… somewhere.  




Mary remarried Thomas Henry Nesmith.  
Mary and Thomas had one son - John Rhea Nesmith. 
John was born in 1828 and died in 1911.  
He was a PVT in Company A of the Alabama Calvary - Confederate States Army.  Mary is buried in the Masterson Cemetery in Lawrence County, Alabama,  beside John.

 LITTLE RIVER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH  & CEMETERY, ORANGE COUNTY, NC THE ALLISON CONNECTION Little River Township in North Carolina is beautiful.  There is a calmness that fills my soul; a feeling of family.  This is the area where my ancestors settled prior to 1755. Standing amid the headstones I get a sense of the area in  which they lived and the legacy they left for us. The Little River Presbyterian Church and Cemetery was established in 1761.     Joseph Allison, my 5th Great Grand Uncle, was a Charter Member of Little River Presbyterian Church. His grave is recorded, but unmarked. Joseph came south from Pennsylvania to North Carolina with his brother John (my 5th Great Grandfather) and their Mother Grizzell Wray Allison. Joseph and his family remained in the Little River and Hillsborough area as did my 5th Great Grandfather John Robert Allison SR. John Robert died in March of 1796 in Hillsborough, but I have been unable to locate his grave. John SR did much buying and selling of l
