William Asher (1739 or 1740-1780) was the oldest son of John Asher. He was born in Culpepper County VA. He died on July 23, 1780 when he was attacked by Indians. William and young son Bartlett were serving under General George Rogers Clark during the US Revolutionary War, having enlisted from Culpepper Co. William entered as a Private, but attained the rank of Ensign. Clark’s regiment had dwindled and, at that time, had taken less than 1,000 men up the Ohio Valley, leaving a small number of men to protect the garrison on Corn Island (Falls of Ohio, near current day Louisville, KY). William was among the officers assigned to protect the garrison. On July 23, 1780 the garrison was attacked by Indians and William was killed.
William’s wife Ann received a land grant of 400 acres near the settlement as a beneficiary.
