    Notes:

    Birth:
    On the 1891 census, Henry's daughter, Mary Eliza Trumpour, confirmed that her father was born in the USA.

    Land:
    "Henry next secured - this time direct from the Crown - two lots, No. 74 and 75, in the 5th concession of Hillier, amounting to two hundred acres. He applied himself to clearing and cultivating the soil. It is said that when he first took his grist to Demorestville, employing for that purpose four or five yoke of steers, he dared not return at night because of the danger from wolves. Deer were plentiful. Feed was so scarce, that often he had to browse his stock in the bush. He raised his own flax, and grew his own wool, and the spinning wheel spun material for use by the family."

    Land:
    "Henry Ainsworth bought land in Ameliasburgh, and having cleared a number of acres, was getting things into shape, when a man named Isaac Williams established a "prior grant".

    Politics:
    "The esteem in which he was held in the township, is attested by the fact that, for several years, he was elected councillor."

    Occupation:
    [1851? 1861? 1871? census] Of his 100 acres, 80 was cleared. It was valued at $ 2250. He and his son Danford operated a farm with 6 cattle, no sheep, 2 hogs, and 4 horses.

    Occupation:
    [1851? 1861? 1871? census] Of his 200 acres, 150 was cleared. It was valued at $ 4000. There were 6 people in the household. He had 10 cattle, 6 sheep, 3 hogs, and 5 horses. His sons, Danford and Franklin, were listed as tenants.

    Birth:
    Since Henry was age 83 when he died on June 9, 1892, his birth year was calculated as circa 1809.

    Military:
    His father-in-law, Peter Redner, and his mother-in-law's brother, William Brickman, were both in the 4th Company. William Brickman was a Sergeant.

    Residence:

    Religion:
    "Henry Ainsworth was listed on the 'Original List of Subscribers to Building Fund' for the Rednersville Church." Philip J. Ainsworth noted that "Although Henry Ainsworth was a lifelong member of the Hillier Disciples Church, it is likely that this contribution resulted from the fact that his wife, Mary Redner, was the daughter of Peter Redner, and likely a member of the Rednersville Church. None of Henry and Mary's children appear as subscribers. Mary's four brothers, Lewis, William, Henry and Rynard, all appear on the list. The subscriptions appear to have been bought in 1849 as the church celebrated its 100th anniversary aroung January 1, 1950".
