The Family AinsworthModified Register for Edward AINSWORTHFirst Generation1. Edward AINSWORTH was born about 1652 in England. He died on 5 Mar 1740. This account comes from Ambrose Ainsworth and passed to me though my uncle Clarence Ainsworth Benson. begin quote .................... The Ainsworth family are of English origin. The earliest known data of record is that of the birth of Edward, near Springfield, Massachusetts. It is supposed, but not Known for sure, that Edward's parents came from England about 1654. Evidence indicates that all of the descendants of Edward resided in Massachusetts until 1830, when the Amasa Ainsworth, born 1776, and his three sons by his second wife, migrated to Western New York, settling at Bloomfield, Ontario County. In the year 1858 two of these sons, William and Whitman, migrated to Monroe, Wisconsin. The other brother, Francis, returned to Massachusetts in 1844. All the Ainsworths in the United States (not numerous) are supposed to have descended from Edward's parents. This record of the Ainsworth family was originally compiled by Ambrose F. Ainsworth, and at the time of that writing, the first day of march, 1919, he was the only surviving son of Francis Ainsworth. Being a printer, the type setting for this family record was done by his own hand, in the eightieth year of his life, in the office of his son, Frank J. Ainsworth, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He Began his printing apprenticeship in January, 1856, at Canandaigua, ontario County, New York. It was his wish that certain heirlooms be handed down and the family records continued. Three of the men named in this family record were in the Revolutionary Army, one, Luther, was killed in the siege if Boston, and another fought at Bunker Hill. A recurrence of the same first name in multiple generations is noted. Some of the most popular being, Nathan, Luther and Amasa. The family heirlooms contain a portrait of Hannah Ainsworth taken in 1851, and is a daguerreotype photograph, one of the first types developed for cameras. There is also a bit of red fox furs, which were wedding gifts to Hannah Ainsworth, some plaid linen made by her in 1812 from flax grown on her father's farm near Grauton, Connecticut. She was responsible for the spinning, coloring and weaving of this cloth by hand, a remarkable achievement. end quote .................. Further information is taken from the published genealogy entitled "Ainsworth Families in America" (AFA). Edward was born in England and arrived in Roxbury, Mass. before his marriage to Johannah Hemingway who was born in Roxbury. He came to this country when he was asked by his uncle Daniel to come and become his heir. They removed from Roxbury to Woodstock in Worcester County Mass. after the birth of their eighth child. Woodstock later came under jurisdiction of the state of Conn. There Edward was a successful husbandman and when he became too old to run the farm he turned it over to his oldest son with the stipulation, which was the custom of the day, that maintenance be provided for him and Johanna for the rest of their lives. The Ainsworth family undoubtedly takes its name from the chapelry Ainsworth (i.e. Aynes or Haynes enclosure) commonly called Cockey Moor, which is situated in the Parish of Middleton, Salford Hundred, in the County Palestine of Lancaster, England. So long ago as 1369, A.D., John Ainsworth was of that ilk and owned lands there, but Baynes Directory for 1825 gave no one of the name as an inhabitant---there were then no Ainsworths in Ainsworth. The place was always a small one, and the census of 1881 states its population as only 1729 and its area as 1309 acres. Burke's General Armory gives four coats of arms. A picture is included on my web site at http://www.burrcook.com/history/ainspic.htm or in the book "Ainsworth Families in America". Every war here has seen the Ainsworth name repeated on its muster rolls, and the number who died in the French and Indian War and the American Revolution seems out of Proportion to the number who bear the name. The book "Ainsworth Families in America" is limited to the genealogy of those who migrated to the new world. One Anchor Ainsworth, by his attorney, Henry Rashley, sold his house plot in Boston March 30, 1647, to Joseph Phippeni. There is nothing else to show that Anchor himself was ever in New England, and nothing to suggest any conection between him and other Ainsworths, except the fact that about the same time Daniel Ainsworth appears on the records as the owner of lands in Roxbury. Daniel Ainsworth and his wife Alice were in Roxbury as early as 1647, he then being the owner of a house and home lot of 12 acres besides 20 or more other acres. He died Nov. 13, 1680, leaving no will, and his property was appraised at (L198). Alice died Jan. 9, 1684-5, and the estate, real and personal, was again inventoried and valued at (L192.04.02). Among the chattels valued each time was a bible which it might be interesting to see. There is no record of any children born to Daniel and Alice. Feb. 13, 1684-5, Mr. Gore of Roxbury was appointed Administrator in place of [the name is lost but probably it was Alice] "in behalf of the heir or next of kin," and there is nothing on the probate records to show what became of the property; but, there is little doubt that the estate passed by operation of law --- not by deed --- to the next of kin, or that Edward Ainsworth was this next of kin. Daniel's homestead when he died consisted of a house and twenty acres adjoining, a part of this land being probably the ten acres of home lot that he bought of John Stow [or Stave] and the same that Daniel morgaged in 1649 to Philip Eliot: and no doubt the home lot was the same named in Roxbury Book of Possessions before 1654 as owned by Daniel Ainsworth and there described as "bounded northerly by a highway." November 4, 1664, he deeded to Philip Curtis twelve acres of meadow, bounding the same on the west by other land of Daniel. Resource : Ainsworth Families in America (AFA) #1.

Edward AINSWORTH (Edward) was born on 18 Aug 1693 in Roxbury, Mass.. He died on 16 Jun 1758. My uncle Clarance was in possesion of documents handed down by Peter O. Benson who married Emily Ainsworth. He gave the birth date as 1698 though the published AFA document says 1693. I tend to believe the 1698 figure. Described as a prosperous husbandman in Roxbury, Mass. All of the children were living 28 June, 1758 when it was decided that William should administer on their father's estate. Edward married Joanna DAVIS daughter of Matthew DAVIS and Margaret CORBIN on 5 Apr 1722. Joanna was born on 22 Oct 1696 in Pomfret, Conn.. She died on 25 Apr 1753.

He died on 14 Nov 1815. 11. Thomas AINSWORTH (Edward) was born on 15 Apr 1708 in Woodstock, Conn.. He died before 4 Feb 1794 in Brookfield, Mass.. Thomas was a resident of Brookfield, Mass. from Feb. 13th, 1735. Whitney, in his "History of Worcester County" (p. 81) says : "There is now [1793] living in Brookfield a Mr. Thomas Ainsworth who supposes he is the last surviving soldier who was in the famous Lovewell's fight." Although this is not impossible, it is probably incorrect, as Thomas Ainsworth was_only seventeen years old at the time of Lovewell's last fight, and no person named Ainsworth is mentioned in the list of Lovewell's men. These lists may not be complete, but, of those known to have served under Lovewell none were from places far distant from the valleys of Merrimack or Concord Rivers. There is a Tradition that Thomas at one time lived with the Narraganset Indians, that he was very strong and venturesome, and there are old anecdotes of his cunning and daring in the hunt and in Indian fighting. It is not unlikely that in his feeble old age he got the delusion that he was one of Lovewell's band, or possibly Mr. Whitney's_informant may have misunderstood some reference to other fights at which Thomas Ainsworth had been present. The order in which the children were born is generally not known. Nor can I determine by which wife. Dorothy signed a deed in 1736. Hannah was certainly Elinor's dau.

Adelaide is the one I would pick, if by some divine act, I was allowed to choose my own mother. She never scolded me. I don't recall her even speaking harshly to me. This, even though I was the most troublesome of the family. I became rebellious in the third grade and refused to do school work. I failed that grade and several others until the School Board insisted that I be seen by a doctor. The doctor found no reason for my lack of good study habits, but, I think, both of my parents felt that something was wrong and as a result I was treated differently from my siblings in regard to discipline. I'm sure that my clashes with the academic world caused embarrassment for the entire family. Adelaide had 9 children an admirable job raising them all and all turned out to be fine citizens. -The above was written by Burr (Buster) Cook.

AINSWORTH, Francis, Amasa, Nathan, Edward) was born on 23 Jul 1917 in Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York. He died in 1992. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Ontario County, New York. See Uncle Bunny's Autobiography also on this web site. It tells the story of a boy growing up with morals and character and who went to war for very moral reasons. Flying over Germany in 1944, alone, under fire, is something I can not ever see myself having the courage to do. He was, very obviously, in possession of the "right stuff". Bunny had 21 happy years with his second wife "Kate". When I recently spoke with Kate (gaining permission to publish Uncle Bunny's biography on my web site) she said that they were 21 years without an argument. That seems remarkable to me. He was loved and respected by his Step son, his wife and four children. He died of colon and liver cancer in the Thompson Hospital. Bunny was a painter and worked with his father, Roy Benson Sr., for many years. He and Kate were members of the Congregational Church. Roy married (1) Lettei Jane POMEROY about 1943 in San Francisco, Calif.. Lettei was born about 1918. Roy met Lettie while training to fly a fighter in WWII and flew missions over Germany. See his story on this web site. (A Biography of a Rabbit) Roy's nickname was Bunny. Roy and Lettei had the following children: + 548 F i. Evalynn BENSON . Roy married (2) Kathryn COONS about 1969. Kathryn was born estimated 1920. See Benson and Cook families for more details. Bibliography (a list of resources used in gathering information for these pages)
