==Personal and early life==
Ash was born a slave on May 15, 1859 in Loudoun County, Virginia. He attended the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, where he graduated in 1882. He worked as a teacher for many years and helped found the Teachers Reading Circle, a short-lived organization for African American educators. On May 29, 1889 Ash married Sallie B. Miller, with whom he had no children. During his time as a politician Ash studied law and self-identified as a lawyer, although there is no record of him having actively practiced this profession.〔
After retiring from politics Ash returned to teaching and in 1907, began teaching at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. He died at this college on February 14, 1908 from kidney failure.
