More searches for more records on Uncle Aashol Munn — really could not believe anyone being saddled with that name!!! I found a copy of the Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988, online at Ancestry where records for the records for the family of Noah Munn were listed:
Noah d. 13 May 1821, Gill; m (1st) 7 Dec 1769. Brimfield, Desire, b. 5 Ma. r. dau. Moses & Bethiah (Younglove) Hitchcock. m (2nd) 25 Sept 1804, Gill, Sybil, b. 17 July 1759, Northfield; d. 30 Sept 1816, Gill; dau. John & Jerusa (Hastings) Allen, and widow of John Field.

So, chalk one up to a bad transcription that was done over a century ago and a good thought to my cousin who proposed that his name was “misspelled from Asahel who was the youngest son of Zeruiah” and was just another of the Biblical Namings.
