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.

He died on 8 Mar 1884 in Clarendon, NY. He was buried in Hillside Cemetary in

York.
Dewitt came to Western NY. with his father before his marriage and settled at
North Bergen,
Genesee County, in 1840 he was residing in Clarendon with his wife where they
lived the rest
of their lives. Dewitt was a carpenter or house joiner by trade, he built many
of the frame
Buildings of the town, homes, farm buildings and schools that are still
standing. His residence
was on Upper Holly Road at lot 152 which consisted of 48 acres, a short distance
north of
what is now the Brown Schoolhouse Road. He was a member of the Orleans Pioneer.
His wives were born at Norfolk, Conn. Their church affiliation was Methodist.
The children
were all born at Clarendon.
Sarah C. Burr was the first wife of Dewitt. Sarah died on march 2, 1839 at age
20 due to
complications of giving birth to George Newton, Dewitts first son. During the
next several
months, while Dewitt was at work, Sarah's older sister Celestia cared for and
became attached
to the child, who was sickly and required constant care. on Sept. 9, 1839 George
Newton died at age 7 months and 13 days. Dewitt and Celestia, both grieving
deeply over
the loss of the child, took refuge in each other and married shortly there
after. Together they
had three more children and there are literally hundreds of living ancesters
like myself.
Dewitt is burried at Hillside cemetary in Holly, Orleans Co. NY. Also burried
there are his
wives and three children. This Cook family plot is in a beautiful place on a
hillside in a grove

I believe that Celestia was born in Norfolk Conn. , but her name is not on
record at the Norfolk
Town Hall. It may be that she was born somewhere else, since I have no proof. I
was able to
find the birth record for Her father Elisha, on file in Norfolk. Dewitt and

FOSTER on 17 May 1836.
He early entered the store of A. Haskins as clerk, where he remained until his
majority.
He was soon after appointed executor of the estate of an uncle which made it
necessary
to go to Georgia, where he disposed of the "Woodbine Plantation". What he saw
while in
the south made him a strong anti-slavery man. After his return to the north he
became a
partner in a large store in Keene. He decided in 1840, to remove to the then
"far west", and
drove with a horse and chaise 400 miles and took up land in Clarendon, N. Y. and
that was his home until his death. Mr. Milliken was a man of sterling integrity,
energetic
in business, of a kindly and geniel disposition, so that he was respected and
beloved by
all who knew him. On account of curtain doctrinal beliefs he never united with
any church,
but was a devout student of the Bible, a strict observer of the sabbath, and one
who
sought reverently to do the will of God. Politically, he was a strong
Republican, always
taking active interest in the success of the party. For 2 years in 1861 and 62
he was supervisor
of Clarendon. He was under the care of his son George, who always lived on the
homestead,
and from him received the most dutiful attention. The funeral was attended by a
large circle
of relatives friends and neighbors, who by their presence and kindly words,
testified
to the esteem they held the departed. His place of birth could have been Keene,
NH.

Presbyterians
and changed to Methodists after arriving in Hopewell. My sister, Mary Ann, has
the family
bible for Daniel and descendants. Daniel came to hopewell by boat using the
Canadaigua
Outlet on the last leg of the trip. His grave stone disagrees with the Preston
records (which
have him born in Oct. 1745 ) and says he died 15 May 1832 at 87 yrs. 7 months,
which
would put his birth closer to Oct. 1744. I will go with the stone as I have
personally checked
it out. Daniel purchased land from Phelps in town of Gorham for 6d per acre. He
was first tax
collector in the town of Gorham. probably not to popular.

"Jacobs occupation was Capt. of the Militia. In the mid 1700s, the DeWitt family
was
living in Naponock. About 1760, one of the clan, Jacob Rutzen or Rutsen DeWitt,
moved
to Port Jarvis. About 1770, Jacob built a stone and frame house near the
Neversink
River near current Port Clinton. During the revolutionary War, a stone fort was
built near
his house, called Fort DeWitt. The fort is still standing but has been enclosed
in a wooden
frame and is not readily identifiable. (In case you are interested, where
Highway 209 crosses
the Neversink River, on the south side of the river a road turns off to the
right then doubles
back sharply toward the river, then turns north and follows the river for a
ways. The old
fort is the first building on the left after the road turns north to parallel
the river).
"Jacob also built a grist mill just up stream from where the old boat canal
crosses the Neversink
(I think it must be about a mile above where 209 crosses the river.) If you
continue driving
north from the fort there is another road that takes off to the left and climbs
into the low hills
along the river. We were given directions to a house that is built on bluffs
along the river just
above where the old boat cannal crosses the Neversink. From the deck of this
house, the
owner (a very cordial lady) can point out the mill's raceway and water Wheel
site that was
carved out of solid rock.
"Jacob Rutsen DeWitt died in Mamakating in January 1792. In his will, William
Rose is referred
to as Jacob's son-in-law, apparently the husband of Jacob's daughter, Mary.
"Jacob removed to Sullivan (now Orange) County, where he purchased land on the
Neversink
River. Was captain of a militia company during the Revolution. His oldest son,
Moses, was
one of the surveyors to establish the boundary line between New York and
Pennsylvania,
and was County Judge and Surrogate of Herkimer and Onondaga Counties, 1791-94.
Moses
died Aug. 15, 1794, in the 28th year of his age. One of Jacob's daughters, named
Rachel,
married Col. Robert, of Revolutionary fame." - Dick Rose
He was a member of the rangers guarding frontier Ulster and Sullivan COs. He
gave his
stone house on the river Neversink, subsequently called fort Dewitt, as a refuge
for women
and children during the revolution.

a member of the
Pres.Church. He married his first wife, Hepsibah Brown, on Jan. 10th 1740.
Hepsibah was born in
1712 and died in 1772. His 2nd wife was Reliance Unknown. It is not clear which
children are from
which wife, but, I believe that Reliance was the mother of Aaron, as one of his
children has the name,
Reliance. Ebenezer's son, Oliver, who was born in 1744, named one of his
children Hepsibah.

from
April 27 to Nov. 23, 1758. His will, probated Aug. 7, 1798, is recorded at

his son, Samuel, being named executor. He must have been a man of much natural
force of

children, excepting James,
were born in Wilton, N.H. For Sources: see Alex Sr.

208. Edward AINSWORTH was born about 1652 in England. He died on 5 Mar 1740. He
married Joanna HEMINGWAY on 11 Jan 1687.
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.

288. Alexander MILLIKEN was born estimated 1669 in near Dawson Bridge, Ireland.
Alexander Milliken was a Presbiterian, and a native of the Lowlands of Scotland,
he resided at
Dawson Bridge in N. Ireland. Defended Londonberry in Siege of 1689. G. T.
Ridlon, in his
book "Saco Valley Settlements and Families," says this of the origin of the
Millikens of
Keene, N. H. The Name Milliken is of Saxon origin and was first written
Millingas,
being of date as early as the 13th century. We are left in doubt as to the
signification,
for there are no reliable authorities on definition of early Saxon surnames. The
name has been traced from its original source, and from its Norman-French
adoption,
directly into England and southern counties of Scotland and Ireland bordering on
the Irish
Sea, whence families have scattered into other sections of those lands. The name
in
Scotland is spelled "Milliken", in Ireland, "Milligan", and in England,
"Millikin" and "Millican".
In the north of Scotland it is sometimes found as "Mulliken". In United States
the surname
in various branches of the family has been spelled Mulliken, Milliken, Millikin,
Millican and
Millikan. Alexander Milliken, from Lowlands of Scotland, resided at Castle
Dawson near
Dawson Bridge near the river Boyne, in the province of Ulster, north of Ireland.
He is said
to have been one of four brothers who were among the sturdy defenders of
Londonberry
in the memorable siege of 1689, he alone surviving. His grandson, James, who was
probably
reared mostly in the family of his grandfather, remembered that at his
grandfather's funeral
the military turned out to do honor to his memory as one of the survivors of the
siege.From
this Alexander, through his sons William and Alexander, have descended many
branches
and numerous families now scattered through the Union. The Millikens were
staunch
Protestants and their posterity have generally exhibited the moral and religious
charecteristics of their progenitors.
