Biographical History
Textile designer and physician.
Born in England in 1803, he was a member of the Manchester Social Community Company, Manchester, England, and under its auspices emigrated to America in 1834 and established a cooperative community in Franklin County, Indiana. When the community failed in 1836, Ashton got a job designing patters for oilcloth and table covers, work he continues in various capacities for many years.
In the early 1850's he studied medicine and eventually practiced medicine in Cincinnati. In 1862 he moved to his farm in Whitewater Township, Franklin County, Indiana where he practiced medicine and supervised his farm until his death in 1870.
