		I have no marriage information, and I don't know who his parents were, but I suspect that he was the brother of Samuel Ashmun (b.
		1764) of Champlain, NY, since Samuel was the progenitor of three younger Jehudis -- including the "famous" Jehudi who went to Liberia and the Jehudi you found in Michigan and a Jehudi who went to Waupaca County, Wisconsin.
		He died at Worcester, February 11, 1833, aged sixty-seven." I don't know which Worcester this would be.
