For Constant Wilmot (d. 1749)

John Ashman, born c. 1689, son of George Ashman and Elizabeth Trahearne, married Constant Wilmot, daughter of John and Jane Wilmot, in 1713 or 1714. The information concerning the live of John Ashman is that he nearly died after receiving blows from a man named Giles. John Ashman recorded his will on 31 May 1731 and this will was filed on 10 October 1727. John and Constant had issue: George, born 8 Nov. 1714; John, born 1 Sept. 1716; Constant 17 Mar 1720, married William Cockey, then William Randall; Charity, born 11 Feb. 1722, married William Cromwell; Rachel, born 29 Oct. 1726, died unmarried 1768; Patience, born 26 Mar. 1731 married (not recorded) Jacobs; and William, born 8 Jul 1731, died unmarried 1762.

Marriage dated 1713/1714 and a son John born 1 Sept 1716 are irreconcilable with Constant's tree birth year of 1715; supports clearing it.
