Here is a little background information about Ashe County to hopefully help you in your research:
Ashe County is located in the Northwest corner of North Carolina. Named for the Revolutionary patriot, Samuel Ashe, Ashe county was formed in 1799 from the North side and North West corner of Wilkes County. Later, in 1849, Ashe County gave up its South West border to help create Watagua County. Then, in 1859, it gave up part of its Northeast section to create Allegheny County.
