Jennifer,
Yes, I've heard the story of the General Weedon connection in my family as well. The truth is Gen Weedon died "without issue" (this according to the Society of Cincinnati, to which I applied for membership as a direct descendant). Also, Ashford's father was not Samuel Weedon, as I've seen reported elsewhere, but John Weedon, mother Margaret Calahan--this according to his marriage bond with Mollie O'Bannon in 1875. My email is

Cheers, Mark
