THE ASHBROOK(E)S: ELEANOR CHENOWETH(4) 1774-?

Levi Ashbrook and Eleanor Chenoweth were one of three marriages between three Chenoweths sisters and the sons of the Rev. Levi Ashbrook of Hampshire Co., VA (now WV). Unlike his other brothers, Levi, Jr. was the marriage of Rev. Ashbrook and his first wife, Mary Pentacost. Rev. Ashbrook's second marriage was to Eleanor's aunt, Mary Chenoweth. Eleanor was born about 1774, in Hampshire Co., the daughter of John Chenoweth and Eleanor Parke. 1774. Levi and Eleanor likely married in Hampshire Co. By 1792 they were in Clark Co., KY. In all they would have 12 children. Levi is known to have moved on to St. Louis, MO, where his son Levi Louis Ashbrook became a successful businessman. Sadly most of his family's history has not yet been recovered. It is not known, when Levi or Eleanor died. The name Levi Ashbrook is found in three successive Censuses of Clark Co. from 1810 to 1830. The 1810 listing is definitely Levi and Eleanor and their family. More work needs to be done to determine the other listings. In 1850, there is a listing for Levi Ashbrook in the 6th ward of St. Louis, most probably this is the son, Levi Louis Ashbrook
