Augustus Asher 
Bell-Fayette-Clay County KyArchives Biography

Author: Dr. John J. Dickey Diary

Dr. John J. Dickey Diary, Fleming County, Ky.  


Augustus Asher - June 23, 1898.
     My grandfather, Dillon Asher, came from Tennessee to Ford of Cumberlands in 1800, moved to Red Bird.  His wife was Sally Davis.  Their
children:  Blevins, Robert, John, Ira (Roberts), "Pug" (Henry Sizemore). 
There were others, I do not remember them.  By Miss Davis, his wife's sister, he had children that took the name of Asher as follows:  Jackson, Wilkerson, and Joshia who still lives and I think, Preston Asher was their brother.  Bige, Matt, Jackson, Hugh, Tom and Dillon Asher are sons of Jackson.  These are the men that have become so wealthy.  All are worth more than Bige and he is probably worth 25,000 dollars.  Jack, said to be worth $300,000, Matt, $200,000, Tom lives at Masiota, worth $3000,000. 
Hugh lives at Pineville, also Jack, though they have houses near Lexington.  Matt, Jack and Hugh were famous lumbermen who started booming logs on the Kentucky River at Ford; they made big money.  Their sisters are Mrs. Martha Morgan; Charity Howard; Puss, Bige Morgan of Sexton; Polly Gibson.
