Hello Ashley County researchers, my name is
Karen De Groote
and I am a member of the ARGenWeb family in Ashley County. Although I do not
live in Arkansas, I have a keen interest in the history and genealogy of Ashley
county and ties to her pioneers. Thank you goes out to Rose Hunt, prior county
coordinator for her service. Rose descends from Ashley county pioneers and
will always be a part of the Ashley county genealogy interest. If you would like to help grow Ashley, please drop me a note! KD
Ashley County was formed November 30, 1848 and
was organized from Chicot, Union and Drew Counties. Hamburg is the county
seat. It wasn't until 1861 that the final county lines were solidified
so you may need to search for your people in Drew or other surrounding
areas. Ashley County is named for Chester Ashley (1790-1848). You
can check out
Jim Shell's Evolution of Ashley County for historical maps of the
county through the years.
