"Anthony must have been born somewhere around 1630. He is found in Salem in
1663 where he lived at Juniper house on Salem Neck where he was an
innkeeper...
"...his first wife is not named in any of the records searched, but his
wife, Abigail Hutchinson, is often mentioned...
"Anthony was a very active and aggressive man, prominent in public life. He
was an innkeeper, a juryman on th grand jury, having charge of road work, etc.
"There are many interesting things in history about this Anthony Ashby:
"How he was owing a debt to Walter Barefoot of Boston and paid the bill in
boots and shoes. He was likely a shoemaker.
"How he traded seal skins at five shillings each for serge at five pounds. He
could have been a trapper or fur trader.
"How he bought a house which immediately burned down. He accused the wife of
the man of whom he bought it of setting the fire. She was found not guilty
and he was sued for slander and had to pay a fine of three shillings.
"How he moved to New London, Connecticut and sent his son, Anthony, back to
Salem to sell land." Ashby Ancestry, ed. Robert L. Ashby, pp. 4,5.
