General Notes (Husband)
Taken from "The History of Gibson County Indiana" 1914
BENJAMIN KEITH ASHCRAFT
It is not an easy task to describe adequately a man who has led an eminently active and busy life and who has attained a position of relative distinction in the community in which his interests were allied. But biography finds its most perfect justification nevertheless, in the tracing and recording of such a life history. It is, then, with a full appreciation of all that is demanded and of the painstaking scrutiny that must be accorded each statement, and yet with a feeling of satisfaction, that the writer essays the task of touching briefly upon the details of such a record as was that of the gentle-man whose name heads this paragraph, who, though long since passed over that "dark river," yet still lives in the memories of his fellow men as one who lived well his life.
Benjamin Keith Ashcraft was born in Grayson county, Kentucky. His great-grand father, Jeremiah Ashcraft, removed in an early day from Pennsylvania to Kentucky and located in Grayson county, where he purchased land for his three sons, Jacob, John and Daniel. After thus giving them a start in life, the great-grand father of the subject started back to the Keystone state, but on the way was attacked and killed by Indians.
Daniel Ashcraft was the grandfather of the subject. He was a soldier in the border wars during the Indian troubles and was twice wounded, his wife also being wounded once. He was born March 13, 1768, and died June 5, 1842. He married Sarah Dye October 18, 1793. She was born March 21, 1775, and died September 17, 1845.
One of the sons of Daniel Ashcraft was Jediah, the father of the subject. Jediah was born December 12, 1794. He married Ann Wilson, of Grayson county, Kentucky, February 10, 1820, she having been born October 19, 1797. They were the parents of four sons and five daughters and were early setlers in Gibson county. Their children were: Elizabeth, who married a Mr. Lamb; Emily is the wife of Lewis Laws; Benjamin Keith; James and Joseph, who settled in Illinois; Eliza, deceased, never married; Thomas located in Illinois; one daughter died in infancy. Although the subject received a very limited education, he had become, by constant reading and observation, quite a scholarly man, his remarkable memory being a great help to him in his readings. Early in life he went with his parents to Richland county, Illinois, and settled ten miles southeast of Olney, where he worked out for several years. On August 21, 1860, Mr. Ashcraft was married to Tirzah M. Stewart, of White River township, Gilson county, Indiana, a daughter of Rev. Samuel A. and Lucinda (Howe) Stewart. Rev. Samuel A. Stewart was born in Virginia, and after living in Grayson county, Kentucky, for a period, came to this county and settled in White River township, entering virgin land from the government. In addition to cultivating his land, which comprised one hundred acres, he was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church. His death occurred on the home place, while his wife died in Princeton. Perhaps the most dominant and notable characteristic of Mrs. Ashcraft's father was his fidelity to truth and honor. He invariably sought the things that were "honest and of good report." In the training of his children no precepts were so constantly or so urgently insisted upon as those which concern sound and worthy character. He taught that honor and truthfulness were of such commanding worth that self interests should never under any circumstances set them aside. These principles were the standards by which he estimated men and to which he religiously held himself. Whatever else he might do or fail to do, he meant to be in all his actions right before his Creator and his fellow men. His life was an inspiration to all who knew him, and his memory remains to his friends and surviving children as a blessed benediction of a noble and upright character. While advancing his individual interests, he never lost sight of his obligations to the community in general, and during his mature life he held a hgh place in the confidence and esteem of all who knew him.
To the parents of Mrs. Ashcraft were born eleven children: Elizabeth, deceased, was the wife of Andrew Milburn; William S. is deceased; Thomas, who was a farmer in White River township, married Susan Hudelson and both are now deceased; Robert died young; Tirzah. the subject's wife; John Wesley, deceased, was a farmer and a soldier in the Civil war. He married Emma Lawrence, who is now living in White River township; Mary J., the widow of Frank Taylor, a Civil war veteran, lives in Princeton; Nathaniel Floyd, who was also in the army, married Addie Lennox; Sarah Ellen, Rachael and Lucien died young. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Ashcraft lived in Richland county, Illinois, for ten years, and then came to Gibson county, Indiana, and located on the old Stewart homestead in White River township, taking care of Mrs. Stewart in her old age. After her death they continued on the home place until their removal to Princeton, where the subject died on March 17, 1897.
While never seeking public office, Mr. Ashcraft was interested in the success of the Democratic party, while his religious affiliation was with the Methodist Episcopal church. His widow, who was born June 20, 1833, is an estimable lady and is very well known in Princeton and Gibson county. She is very well preserved for her age and is a pleasing woman to converse with. She has done a great deal of hair art work and some painting, her habit being to always be busy.
