This tombstone was placed in July 2005 by Askew descendents.  In the book, "The 
History of Harris County, Georgia 1827-1961," by Louise Calhoun Barfield, she 
mentions on page 532 the Askew Cemetery (Askew Farm).  At the time of Mrs. 
Barfield's research, the stone for John Askew was readable as she makes a 
notation of it.  By 1997, a submitter to the tombstone project notes that the 
stone is unreadable and list it as in the Maull Family Cemetery. Another marker 
in the Askew Cemetery is that of Mollie (Askew) Russell Maull, daughter of John 
Monroe Askew who was the nephew of John Askew of North Carolina. The Askew Farm 
was Land Lot 54, 202 1/2 acres, 20th District, Harris County, GA and was 
purchased by Nathan Askew ca. 1836-1837 (no dates given in the Deed Book C, 
Harris County Courthouse).  This property is no longer in the Askew Family.

Additional Comments:
Even though these Askew descendents are not in John Askew's direct line, it was 
felt that because of Love for Family and as a memoriam to those who have gone 
before, a new stone should be placed so that future generations will know who 
they are and from where they came.
