John Ashly is reallyCalifornia Jack Ashby (see other postings under ASHBY).So did these young men come together on the same wagon train or just meet in the mining camps?There isDark/Darke family in KY that had a lot of Biblical names in the family, but I can find no record of a James or Ephrim born in the 1820s in KY.Can anybody out there help?If I knew they came on the same wagon train, I might be able to backtrack my John Jones line and I would help anyone else who might know these young men find info also.
