Martha Ainsworth

Notes:

The Ainsworth name undoubtedly takes its name from the chapelry Ainsworth commonly called Cockey Moor, which is situated in the Parish of Middleton, Salford Mundred, in the County Palatine of Lancaster, England.

So long ago as 1369, A. D. John Ainsworth was of that ilk and owned lands there.
