In 1667 they moved to land in Westfield where he built a mill and was Town Clerk. In 1712, during Queen Anne War, his house was one of those converted into a fort (garrison house). The gravestones of David and Hannah Ashley are among the oldest in Westfield dated 1718 and 1722.became known as King Philip War. It was the single greatest calamity ever to occur in 17th century Puritan New England. In little over a year, nearly half of the regions towns were attacked – and the major settlements at Providence, Rhode Island and Springfield, Massachusetts were both burned to the ground. New England economy was all but ruined, and much of its population was killed. Proportionately, it was one of the bloodiest and costliest wars in the history of North America.l period. They became founders of Westfield, Massachusetts where the rest of the children were born. David would spend the rest of his life in Westfield where his home was ; in Queen Anne War for defense against Indians. He held several town offices. Hannah Glover, the daughter of Henry Glover and Helena (---), was christened May 26, 1646 at New Haven, Connecticut. She was the third of her parents’ seven children. David Ashley and Hannah Glover were married November 24, 1663, at New Haven. They had eleven children, born between 1664 and 1685, including one set of twin daughters. David and Hannah Ashley spent the first three years of their married life at Springfield, before they moved to the new settlement of Woronoco, that later became Westfield. He had land at Woronoco confirmed to him that had been granted to his father in 1661 to start the new settlement, and received an additional grant of thirty acres in 1664 contingent on moving there within three years, which he probably did in the spring of 1667. Westfield had chosen as its first minister Rev. Edward Taylor, who arrived in December 1671. Due to King Philip’s War and other hardships, the church was not formally organized until August 1679. David Ashley joined the Westfield church on January 1, 1679/80, five months after it was organized, and had his children baptized on the 11th of that month. David Ashley, who styled himself a yeoman, participated in the farming culture of the new settlement. He also ran the mills important to an agricultural community. In 1669, Sacketts Creek was granted to him and Joseph Whiting to build a mill and grind corn. In 1685, he was one of four men given liberty to erect a sawmill. He took the freeman’s oath at Springfield September 28, 1680, and was prominent in the governance of Westfield, serving as a juror, selectman, clerk of the writs and treasurer of the town. On the western frontier of the colony, Westfield was at risk of attack at times of war. During King Phillip’s War, David was one of three men appointed to convey a protest to the government at Boston when residents of Westfield were instructed in 1676 to abandon the town and retreat to Springfield for protection because the cost of defending settlements scattered along the Connecticut River was consider too great. On June 9, 1712, toward the close of Queen Anne’s War, David’s house was selected as one of the houses to be “forted.” Fortunately, the Ashley family did not suffer as their neighbors in nearby towns did. David Ashley died December 8, 1718 at Westfield, and was buried the Westfield Cemetery; his gravestone reads, “David Ashley Dyed on Dec Ye 8 1718 Aged 77 Year.” Administration on the estate of David Ashley was granted to his widow Hannah on March 10, 1718/19.
