Ascenith, or Aunt Ceenie as the Herrons called her, was our grandpa Elijah Ervin's step mother. There is a record of a marriage in 1826 in Harrison County, Ohio between her and John Ervin. He already had several children though I've been unable to find a record of his first marriage. Ascenith had a daughter, Elizabeth Hearn, and I first thought Herron was Ascenith's married name, but Herron researchers have told me that she was born in Maryland to William Herron. She must have had Elizabeth out of wedlock. Coincidently, Elizabeth married Reese Baldwin, brother of Sarah, who married Elijah, our grandpa and Ascenith's stepson.
John Ervin also was born in Maryland but moved west to Tuscarawas County, Ohio. After he and Ascenith married, they had several more children. John was fifteen or more years older than Ascenith. When he died in 1861, his 80 acres passed to her, and he made bequests to all his children.
I have no record of when Ascenith died.
