"THIS OLD MONMOUTH OF OURS," 
by William Horner, 

pg. 409:

"Capt. Joseph Ashton Yard, son of Benjamin, was born 3/23/1802, and 
died 10/17/1878.  He married, 2/26/1824, Mary Woodward Stirling, who 
was born 2/13/1805, and died 11/14/1863.  She was daughter of John W. 
Stirling and his wife, Ann, daughter of Apollo and Mary 
(Allen)Woodward.  Captain Joseph A. Yard was father of James Stirling; 
Robert Boyd, born Jan. 9, 1828; Anna Mary, born 12/2/1829; Caroline 
Elizabeth, born 7/30/1831; Henry Augustus, born 2/12/1833, died 
1/17/1849; Wesley Stirling, born 1/29/1835; Thomas Stryker, born 
9/12/1837, died, 9/26/1879; Alexander A., born 7/26/1839; Josephine 
Alveneta, born 8/26/1841; Benjamin Holdich, born 1/1/1843; and John 
Tyler, born 12/23/1844, died 4/9/1863."

	QUERY 2ND:
I appreciate your response.  I was able to add Mary Woodward Stirling's
ancestors to my records.  I had the names and dates of Joseph Ashton's
children.  What I am looking for is the Civil War service of the 
brothers other than Alexander (my grandfather).  One source said that 
he had five sons who fought for the north in the civil war - I'm trying 
to find their record of service as well as their descendants.  I have a 
record of my grandfathers service and a portion of the diary that he
kept during April 1864 to June 1964.
