| Notes |
- According to an account dictated by W. T. Martin in 1837, husband of Amelia Ashcom (Nathaniel's daughter), which is in the files of the Historic Society Pioneer Library, Bedford, Pennsylvania, Nathaniel was a planter on the family estate in St. Mary's, Maryland. The estate was called "West Ashcom", which is now Cremona, Maryland. He apparently mismanaged the estate, relying too much on his slaves, and lost it. He and his family then moved to Hagerstown, Maryland where they spent several years before moving to Mercersburg, Franklin Co., Pennsylvania, and then to Bloody Run (now Everett), Pennsylvania. in about 1807 or 1808.
As of May 1. 1997, virtually all of the information in this record regarding the ancestors of Nathaniel Ashcom was supplied by John Dwight Kilbourne, 2828 Connecticut Ave., #507, Washington, D.C., e-mail: jkilbourne@worldnet.att.net, based on, among other things, information that he obtained primarily from a Mrs. Reeder beginning in 1952.
According to Mrs. Reeder, Nathaniel and his brothers (other than Thomas, who moved to Queen Anne County, Maryland in 1804) left St. Mary's County, Maryland for Bedford County, Pennsylvania between 1800 and 1804 because they had converted to Methodism and were compelled to leave Anglican Maryland in search of religious freedom.
According to a transcription of THE OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE FOR ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND, 1777, on usgenweb.com, Nathaniel Askum subscribed to the following oath, which was was prescribed by the General Assembly in Section XIII, chapter XX, Laws of Maryland, February Session, 1777:
"I do swear, that I do not hold myself Bound to yield any Alegiance or Obedience to the King of great Britain his heirs or successors, and that I will be true and faithful the the State of Maryland, and will, to the utmost of my Power, support, maintain, and defend the freedom and independence thereof, and the Government as now Established, against all open Enemies, and Secret and traiterous Conspiracies, and will use my utmost Endeavours to disclose and make known to the Governer, and or some one of the binations, against this State or the Government therof, which may come to my knowledge. So help me God."
According to the 1790 Census (STATE: MD; COUNTY: St. Mary's; REEL#: M637-3), Nathaniel Ashcom lived in St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1790 with four males under age 16, three females and five slaves.
