Thurs. Dec. 9, 1802  Wilmington Gazette
   DIED, at his seat near Halifax, on Saturday, the 27th inst., COL. SAMUEL B. 
ASHE, in the 55th year of his age. COL. ASHE was a native of North Carolina, 
and embarked early in life, as an officer of the American Revolutionary War; 
where he served with reputation to himself and his Country, until the close of 
it. He has since been repeatedly called on by his fellow citizens as their 
Representative in our State Legislature and in Congress; and has ever been 
distinguished, as well, for the urbanity of his manners, as for the integrity 
and patriotism of his conduct. He was a real Republican and the estimation in 
which he was held by his Country will readily appear by the vote of the 
General Assembly of the 20th instant, through which he was elected Chief 
Magistrate of this State for the ensuing year by a large majority of the two 
Houses. He is, however, no more, and has left a wife and a son, as well as 
many friends to lament his loss.
