Nancy was concerned whether it was a problem that Richard's Mom was an Ashby. It is not - Haddie was too distant a relation to be a concern. But there is another interesting connection.
Haddie Ashby Stringham moved to Holden, Utah after her husband died to live next door to her daughter, but when she got older she moved to Pomona, California and lived there until she died. She was my Grandma Stevens's mother. Meanwhile, my Grandpa Ashurst's parents moved from Texas to Pomona, Ca. to retire and grow oranges. They lost the orange grove after a killing frost wiped them out, but they stayed in Pomona until they died and they are buried there. So they might have known Haddie Ashby. Who knew their descendants would marry?

Just for the record, we weren't really *concerned*. Just thinking it's funny that we have never put that together before. It's not like we were ready to call off this whole wedding and divide up the kids or anything.
