1. 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.

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.

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.
Thomas married (1) Dorothy Kellogg in 1729.
After the death of Thomas she was executor of the will. His estate
consisted mainly_of a 45 acre farm
at Brookfield.

A seat in the meeting house at Brimfield, Mass., was assigned to him

three older children and
Hannah Ainsworth, who was, perhaps, his sister, were warned out of
Sturbridge by the
thrifty officials of that town; but he lived there until 1770
certainly, for in a deed of that date
he describes himself as of Sturbridge, yeoman. Later, he removed to
Windsor, Vt., where
it is said that his sons married, thence perhaps to Royalston; and
about the year 1800 the
whole family appear to have removed to Woodbury, Vt., and Ephraim,
senior. was then an
elder of the Free Will Baptist denomination. In 1841 there was a
stone chimney and other
remains of the log house in which Elder Ephraim died. His grandson,
Joseph Ainsworth,
who was presen t, states that just before his death the Elder had his
family and friends
called in, and preached his own funeral sermon from the text Rev. xiv.

"as soon as the 'amen' was said he immediately expired."

"Roy Benson (my father) was born in Centerfield, and worked all his

in Canandaigua. When 22 years of age he married Frances Lorraine Gulvin
(my mother), then 21
years old, (who came over from England when she was 3 years of age, and
her family settled on
a farm at Seneca Castle, New York). They were the parents of nine
children. At the time of this
writing (March 1973) there were 20 Grandsons and 10 Granddaughters.
This History was
constructed with the help of records kept by Jessie L. Benson of
Canandaigua (a cousin) and a
copy is in the possession of Burr Cook, in Lyons. My great great grand
parents and many
relatives are buried in a small cemetery at Toomey's Corners, formerly
Carter's Corners, 5 miles
west of Canandaigua, New York. Roy is buried, with his parents, at
Woodlawn."

519. Adelaide Emily Benson
"Em" (Roy Garfield Benson, Emily M. Ainsworth, Francis, Amasa, Nathan,
Edward) was born on 26 Jan 1908 in Canandaigua, New York. She died in
2001 in Lyons, New York . The cause of death was Old Age. She was
buried in Hopewell Cemetery on Mumby Road.
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.
Adelaide married Stanleigh Gates Cook "Stan" son of Dr. Arthur
Mortimer Cook and Esther Pamelia Gates about Oct 1927 in Canandaigua,
Ontario County, New York. Stanleigh was born on 22 Dec 1907. He died on
7 Jun 1977 in Newark, NY in Newark Wayne Hospital. He was buried
in Hopewell Cemetery on Mumby Road.
The following is from the obit. column: Stanleigh Gates Cook Sr. of
Orleans, Rd#2 Clifton Springs, NY
who passed away June &, 1977 was a direct descendent of Lemuel
Cook, from his son Miles. He was
born in Canandaigua, NY Dec. 22, 1907, Mr. Cook, is also a direct
descendent of John Alden and
Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower Pilgrams on his mothers side. He
always lived in NYS. He married
in 1927 and had 9 children, 7 boys and 2 girls, 27 grandchildren and 6
gr grandchildren. He had one
sister, Evelyn Cook who lives in Buffalo. Mr. Cook was an auto mechanic
for a number of years. For
the last 30 years he had an electrical contracting business called
"Cook Electric" along with his oldest
son Stanleigh Jr. and with the aid of other sons along the way. He
enjoyed hunting and at one time
flying, he had a pilots license for small planes. Mr. Cook had never
been in a hospital until Mar 6 of
1977 three months prior to his death from cancer. Some grandchildren
are scattered about. Mr. Cook
was an Eagle Scout, and was in the Scout Program for many years,
serving as Scoutmaster, Explorer
Advisor and Committeeman. Resources: Cook Family Bible; Memory.

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
