To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Ashburn were among those contributors:

Ashburn Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • Joseph Ashburn, who arrived in New England in 1675

Ashburn Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • Joseph Ashburn arrived in Annapolis in 1724

Ashburn Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Thomas Ashburn, aged 43, landed in Ohio in 1812
