I will be happy to look-up for anyone who thinks they may be a part of this family. Carol Nix nixcarol@sbcglobal.net Dear Carol, (and others on the AINSWORTH list,) Good morning. Thank you for the look-up offer. I have 2 questions. # 1: William AINSWORTH, born: Abt. 1690 in Virginia, died: 1759 in Cumberland County, North Carolina, md: Jennet(t)/Janet(t)(e)/Jeannette ?/PATTERSON, (poss. PATTISON,) born: Aft. 1690 in ?, died: ? in ?, md: Befl. 1735 in Virginia. I am very curious about this Je/(a)n(n)et(t)(e) PATTERSON, (poss. PATTISON as I have paternal 7th great grandmother of the same name of Jennet(t)/Janet(t)(e)/Jeannette ?/PATTERSON/PATTISON who was born: Abt. 1706 in Overwharton Parish, Stafford County, Virginia, died: 1752 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, who was a maid in the household of Henry CON(N)YERS until she married him as his 2nd wife, (not sure of 1st wife's name,) and then she married as the 2nd wife of Randolph "Randol" HOL(D)BROOK, (whose 1st wife was Ann STANWAY,) and they were the parents of my paternal 5th great grandmother who was Elizabeth HOL(D)BROOK who married as the 2nd wife of my paternal 5th great grandfather, (Major) Samuel EARLE, III. Is it possible that these are the same 2 Jennet/etc. PATTERSON, (poss. PATTISON,) women who married these 3 men, William AINSWORTH, Henry CON(N)YERS, and Randolph "Randol" HOLBROOK? Or, at the least, it would be a strong possibility that they were closely related...cousins possibly. Do you know anything of the one that was William AINSWORTH's wife? She appears to be as obscure as mine? # 2: My aunt, Ellen Grace MYRICK, married Almy Leon "PeeWee" AINSWORTH, (son of Mary Etta CONN, born: 1904 in Wesson, Copiah County, Mississippi, died: November 1980 in Copiah County, Mississippi, (md: Raymond RAVELL, md: Ellis BODRON and John AINSWORTH,) and John AINSWORTH, born: Abt. 1904. I did have the information on his parents and how he descends in the AINSWORTH family but a computer crash awhile back lost it. Would you have his information? Looking forward to hearing from you or anyone else regarding this information. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick-Barnett BellindaMBarnett@aol.com
