According to obit of Ira Hanks Elsworth/Ellsworth he was born Feb 14 1808 Bennington VT. Died Nov 23 1888 in Nottawa,Michigan. Parents and children moved to NY after he was born sometime.Oldest of 10 children. Father died early and Ira helped his mother with raising all the younger children. He was educated I believe because he held an assessors job in Michigan. He married in Manlius, NY in 1829 and lived in Clay, NY for a while. His mother's name may have been Margaret Bein/Bain/Bayne? I am looking for any help on Ira and his parents and siblings. I know there were Ellsworth and Aylesworth in this area at this time frame and would very much appreciate anything anyone can give me on this. This has been my brick wall for so long I can't even remember how long I have been working on this. Norma Elsworth Roberts
