The first mention of Robert Ashley in the Town Records relates to a rate agreed upon to build the minister's house and for Mr. Moxon's maintenance, which was voted in January, 1639. It is probable that he came here the previous year. From whence he came it is not known. He had land granted him soon after his arrival, and his homelot as first mentioned was between that grated to John Searle and that to John Dibble, but the lot on which he later resided was that next north of the present State Street. Elected to several minor offices In 1653 was chosen one of the Selectmen. The other members of the Board were George Colton, Thomas Cooper, Benjamin Cooley, and Thomas Stebbins. His service as Selectman was in the years of 1653, '54, '55, '56, '61, '63, and '66. His store accounts with John Pynchon show that his purchases related mainly to household items from 1652 to 1655. Ashley paid his store accounts partly in labor, or use of his oxen, or in wheat. The largest payments were in wampum.
