| | Ashford Township, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin |
 | | This town was first a constituent part of the town of Auburn in its organization, but was set off from it and separately organized in 1849, the first election being held in April of that year, at the house of William Boener, at which Robert E. Adams was elected Chairman, and George Thorn, Town Clerk. |
 | | Ashford is bounded on the north by the town of Eden, on the east by Auburn, on the south by Wayne, in Washington County, and on the west by Lomira, in Dodge County. |
 | | Ashford was originally organized as the town of Chili; but for some reason this name was not satisfactory, and by act of the Legislature, approved January 26, 1854, it was changed to Ashford, which, it is said, was suggested on account of the great quantity of ash timber growing in the town. |
