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.

_TODO:
Philip AINSWORTH died April 22, 1850 [Prince Edward or Northumberland?]

Birth:
Since he died in 1854 aged 83, his birth year was calculated as circa 1771.

Family:
"Philip was the fourteenth and last child born to Daniel Ainsworth. Daniel was married twice. Philip was the fourth child borne by his father's second wife, Elizabeth Corbin, of Worchester, Massachusetts."

Name:
"He was named after his grandfather, Philip Corbin."

Immigration:
"Philip's father, Daniel, suffered financial losses in the period after the Revolution had ended. This led Daniel and his remaining young family to migrate westward to the wilds of New York state along the Hudson River valley." The family settled for a time near Albany, New York. Philip spend his remaining youthful years in that area.

Census:
He was enumerated on the 1800 USA census - reel 25 of Microfilm series M32, page 4

Moved:
"About 1800 Philip and Mary moved to a more remote and undeveloped area of New York State that was still considered Indian Territory, in the neighbourhood of Watertown, Jefferson County."

Family:
After his wife, Mary, died, he met and married a widow, Joanna Whitney Burr. Since Joanna had a family as well, they had a combined family of children, and also had children together.

Occupation:
"The clearing of four hundred acres left a large amount of wood ash; he decided at once to use it (along with what he could purchase from neighbouring pioneers) in the establishing of potash works in the township. This industry he combined with farming, and raised large quanitities of grain".

Travel:
"During this period Philip had the opportunity to visit Canada and came back very enthused by what he saw, particularly in Prince Edward County."

Emigration:
Philip J. Ainsworth says that "Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, page 104, states that he emigrated to Canada in 1815, but his citizenship in Canada came in 1830 and states that he had been in Canada 7 years at that time, making his arrival in 1823 more likely."

Moved:
"During this period Philip had the opportunity to visit Canada and came back very enthused by what he saw, particularly in Prince Edward County. He decided to move his family to Upper Canada and they made the move in 1823."

Residence:
[This location is today near highway 62 and Oram Road, south of Christian Street.]

Occupation:
"Philip developed a business of making potash from the ashes of trees burned during the clearing of land for farming. Potash was in great demand in the major cities and in England for the making of soap and lye."

Residence:
"However, he soon discovered that Isaac Williams had made a prior claim of this particular property." [This land is on what is now Victoria Road.]

Residence:
"He continued in Sophiasburgh, until after the marriage of his son Henry, when he removed to Brighton".

Residence:
"By 1830 Philip had dexided to make a more permanet location and signed a formal lease on 100 acres of Clergy Reserve land in Hillier Township." [Today this location is found on the Town Line Road just north of the hamlet of Allisonville.] "This site became the location of the first Ainsworth homestead in Prince Edward County. It remained in the family for nearly one hundred years and is still used as a home today."

Moved:
"By this time their eldest survving son, Cornelius, had started his own farm in Hillier Township (on what is now Burr Road) and the second surviving son, Henry, had taken over the homestead near Allisonville. Philip and Joanna's son, Eli, was soon to take over the farm they purchased in Cramahe."

Residence:
Census of 1841: The family inclueded 2 males over 16 (likely Philip and son Eli), 2 females over 16 (likely 2nd wife, Joanna, and Philip's daughter, Annie - not married), and 1 male under 16 - "this is a mystery as Philip & Joanna did not have any children born in 1825 or later.

"Peter Redner had the misfortune to be bitten in the foot by a rattlesnake, but was healed by a man who lived at the Carrying Place, who procured an herb called "rattlesnake weed". In order to prevent the poison from going up the leg, he tightly bound the ankle with a black ash bandage that had been taken from a root of the tree that was below water; and then applied the rattlesnake weed in some special fashion. Redner was saved, but the skin of his whole foot spotted like that of the rattlesnake. These snakes were so common at that time that the mowers and harvesters had to use every precaution when at their work, and would closely bind grass ropes round their boots and legs up to their knees."
