FOREWORD
THE genealogy of Littleton was compiled by GEORGE C. FURBER in 1896 and printed in 1897-8.
A fire destroyed the work in 1898 and made necessary a reprint,
which was prepared under the supervision of EZRA S. STEARNS.
The extent of the errata is chiefly due to incorrect material furnished by individuals concerning their ancestry.

AINSWORTH.
The word Ainsworth is derived from Haines, the modern form of the ancient personym, Ainneph, and worth, the Anglo-Saxon term for a homestead. The family in Eng. were long located at Ainsworth, in the parish of Middleton, hundred of Salford, county palatine of Lancaster, and undoubtedly took their name from the locality. In spelling it is sometimes corrupted to Ensworth. The earliest of the name in New Eng. were Anchor Ainsworth of Boston, and Daniel Ainsworth of Roxbury, Mass. They were in the colony as early as 1647. The tradition is that Edward Ainsworth, the emigrant ancestor of the L. family, came to America on invitation of his uncle, Daniel, of Roxbury. By some mishap in navigation the vessel in which he and a brother took passage was wrecked on the coast of Georgia. All were drowned except Edward Ainsworth, who saved himself by clinging to a rock on the shore, which is still called Stranger's Rock. (See Ainsworth Genealogy, Francis J.Parker, Boston.)
