Aunt Harriet and Uncle Tom
Harriet Victoria Ashby (née Weston) is Barbara's younger sister. She was born on 9 January 1947, and was married to Thomas Eugene Ashby on 29 May 1964 in Charlotte County, VA. Thomas was born on 28 October 1942.[1] As of 2014 they were living in Chesterfield County near Richmond and had recently moved from a house to a condominium. Chris leaked their previous home address in the Miyamoto emails, hoping that Shigeru Miyamoto would send them a letter to somehow establish his legitimacy.
Harriet seems to admire the American presidents, and considering the number of flags she has on her Christmas tree, she is a TRUE and HONEST American patriot. She once gave Chris a map of the fifty states with slots for the state quarters as a present which he completed years later in summer 2010.[2][3] Other gifts from Harriet to the Chandlers include Chris's old fold-out bed[4] and a CD of big band romantic music which she gave Bob for his 84th birthday shortly before his death.[5] Uncle Tom, according to Chris, is a retired fire inspector and offered Barb advice after her house burned down.
As Chris told Catherine during her meeting with him in 2014, Harriet and Tom were in the habit of talking with Barb every Saturday over the phone, but they would not allow her over to their condo or even give her their address. At the time they were the last family members with whom Chris and Barb were still in touch.
Barb possibly went after Tom very aggressively when she was young.
