Today I'm sharing about Charles Ashley of Jay Co., IN who was a Union soldier in the Civil War. With the recent 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, I have been trying to learn more about Charles. I have always referred to him as Charles the 1st since my 3Great-Grandfather Warren Ashley actually had two sons named Charles! Talk about confusing the family tree. I'm descended from Charles the 2nd. Charles (the 1st) was the son of Warren Ashley and his first wife, Nancy Allen Ashley. He was born in Jay Co., IN in 1844. Sources are inconsistent on his death date as I have found both May 9, 1964 or November 1, 1864 listed but all agree the death location was in Tullahoma, Coffee Co. TN. The cause of death is listed as disease. His burial is at Stones River National Cemetery in Murfeesboro, Rutherford Co., TN, however the plot number is unknown according to Find A Grave. A second source confirming the unknown plot is the Stones River National Cemetery website eve
