AYLESWORTH
I am only going to show the Aylesworth family through two generations and ask you to visit the Aylesworth Website for more information on other branches of the family. They have done an excellent job of researching, reviewing and finally correcting erroneous research done in the past. Sylvester Aylsworth had printed a 12-page pamphlet and it contained many errors. It was titled:
A REGISTER 0F THE AYLSWORTH FAMILY BEGINNING WITH ARTHUR, CONTAINING A REGULAR DESCENT THROUGH THE MALE LINE FROM HIM DOWN TO THE SEVENTH GENERATION, BY SYLVESTER AYLSWORTH, OF THE FIFTH GENERATION SON OF WILLIAM AND CATHARINE. UTICA: BENNETT, BACKUS, & HAWLEY, FRANKLIN SQUARE. 1840.
Homer Aylsworth and finally James Arnold had followed that with a corrected version. For that complete document, please refer to the Aylesworth family site mentioned above. Special thanks to Owen Aylesworth for maintaining the Aylesworth site and also diligently keeping the family history as accurate as possible.

ARTHUR AYLSWORTH
AND
HIS
DESCENDENTS IN AMERICA,
FIRST GENERATION
-----O-----
We are now prepared to present a fuller account of the
immigrant's family, recapitulating some of the main facts already noted.
ARTHUR AYLWORTH came to America from either England or Wales previous to
July 29, 1679, * possibly previous to King Philip's War, married Mary Brown of
Providence, a daughter probably of Rev. John and Mary (Holmes) Brown," and
settled permanently in Quidnesset, where he died between Nov. 7, 1725 and Sept.
13, 1726. Her death doubtless preceded his a number of years. The natural order
of their children's names is not known, but the names of the sons apart from the
names of the daughters, as given the following lists stand probably in their
natural order, excepting the name of Thomas, though John may have been younger
than Philip:
2. i Robert (2) eldest son, m. Ann Davis.
3. ii Arthur (2) m.
Mary
Franklin.
______________________________________________________________________
*
July 29, 1679, Arthur Aylworth and forty-one others of Narragansett signed a
petition to the King praying that he would put an end to these differences about
the government thereof, which hath been so fatal to the prosperity of the place;
animosities still arising in peoples' minds as they stand affected to this or
that government." [The Editor.]
" The probability that she was the daughter
of Rev. John Brown rests upon a very strong presumption at least. As a matter of
fact her home was in Providence, and she had nephews by the name of Andrew and
John Brown. The latter a successful merchant of Newport, owner of shipping,
etc.
Rev. James P. Root: - I think that Mary, who married Arthur Aylworth,
must have been the daughter of Rev. John Brown, son of Rev. Chad. That they had
a daughter Mary would be natural, as his wife was Mary, daughter of Obadiah
Holmes, the much persecuted and whipped Baptist saint. That Mary Aylworth would
name a child Elizabeth, after her father's mother, and Chad, after her
grandfather, would be natural. On the supposition that she was a daughter of
Rev. John Brown and Mary (Holmes), Rev. James' son, Andrew, would be her nephew,
born Sept. 20, 1706. The John Brown who died at Newport, 1764, aged 68 years,
was undoubtedly son of Ensign John Brown, son of Rev. John, He was born March
26, 1697. Both were nephews of Mary if she was a daughter of Rev. John and Mary
Brown.
NOTE.-This supposition has been proved correct. [Editor.]

The chaotic records at Wickford contain traces of Arthur Aylworth's will and codicil. Internal evidences indicate that both instruments were drawn by the same person In giving below what remains of the record the spelling of surnames and the grammatical construction of t he text is presented unchanged. Whenever the sense of the lost text can be assumed with any degree of confidence an attempt is made to supply the same in brackets, regard being paid to forms common at the time.

There are complete or partial records of seven receipts given to the executor for the legacies in Arthur Aylworth's will, all "in full" except perhaps that of Chad :
"Robert Ayleworth," by mark, Oct. 13, 1626.
"Arthur Aylworth," by
autograph, Nov. 25, 1726.
"John Aylworth," by mark, Oct. 7, 1726.

John Green for his wife Mary Green -

Peleg Card for his wife Elizabeth Card, Nov. 23,
1726.
John Davis for his wife Martha Davis, Dee. 1. 1727.
It is evident the author of the Register did not consult the Rhode Island
town records. 'The North Kingstown records then in their entirety would have
furnished him abundant material. Little can be obtained from them now relating
to years previous to 1700.
The immigrant was appointed to some kind of
inspectorship Feb. 6, He was elected ratemaker May, 1699, and viewer of fences
and supervisor of highways June 5, 1699. He deeded a quantity of land to Henry
Tibbets Sept. 21, 1697. Neither the bounds, number of acres, nor consideration
can be acertained. The deed was acknowledged October, 1697. The record of his
signature remains distinct.

3. ARTHUR -- 2) Arthur (1) married Mary
Franklin, and dwelt within the present limits of West Greenwich, R.I., to which
locality then a part of East Greenwich, they moved from North Kingstown before
June 29, 1723. He bought of William Wanton, June 22, 1724, for £100 320 acres of
land, it being the "31st farm in 3d or last deviation," and was farmer and
in-keeper. She was younger than he but died first. Working in the hay field, he
was taken sick on a Thursday in July, 1761, and died the following Sunday, aged
76 years. His will was made July 4, 1761, probably during his sickness, and
proved Aug. 1st, following; the will being signed Arthur Aylworth, and the
personal inventory amounting to £672.* The order of the first six names of their
children is not known.

The names of James, John, and Dimmis are not mentioned in the will, yet we find
mentioned a grandson, John Phillips, and a grand daughter, Edey

Ý Deacon Phillips, whose mother's name was Aylsworth, lived in the vicinity of Carbondale, Pa., in 1816. He had three daughters, names not known. One of these married ___ Hewitt, and had daughters.

They had also sons, Jeremiah and Seth, and three other daughters, Elizabeth
Bassitt, Sarah Reynolds, and ___ Hamilton. His will was made Jan. 28,
174(3?)_____.
§ Abel Aylsworth states he died at the house of Joshua Rathbun, his son-in-law which relation does not yet appear.
* His will was quite an elaborate instrument, but the
record suffered so much from fire that the relics are of little help. It
appears, however, from it that he divides a sum of money between Ann Aylsworth
and Dorcas Place, grandchildren perhaps, and the indications are that there may
have been other own children than those contained in the list. He certainly had
a grandson, Christopher Aylsworth, the subject of a special sketch
hereafter.
The town council of East Greenwich., Aug. 3, 1723, noticed the
fact that "William Aylworth is again come to reside at the house of John
Aylworth," and took such action as was customary when persons without
certificates from their own town were changing residence, to prevent their
obtaining residence and thereby possibly becoming a burden to the town. As this
was the second time or more he had lived with John Aylworth's family he was
doubtless a near relative. All tradition relating to the immigrant indicates
that he came alone to America, and that none of his near kindred afterward
associated with him. If it should be presumed that this person was the deaf mute
and that the name Thomas was a mistake, there is nothing apparent, at present,
to sustain the presumption.
5. PHILIP (2) -- Arthur (1) was born in 1692, and married Rachel Greene, daughter of Daniel and Rebecca (Barrow) Greene of Quidnessit. They lived upon the immigrant's homestead, where they died, but their death dates and the birth dates of their children are lost.

Elizabeth and Mary Major, daughters of David Major, of the Island of Guernsey,
came to Newport in 1717, bringing with them a letter from the church "in ye
Vale(?) in ye Island of Guernsey," dated in June of that year, and united with
the Trinity Church at Newport, and having left their home on account of domestic
misunderstandings with their stepmother. Mary m. June 9, 1730, William Dumoy,
who sometime afterwards went to sea and was never heard from. She died S.P.,
before May 11, 1758, when letters of administration were issued to her nephew,
Thomas Aylsworth. David Major's estate, said to have consisted principally of
property in London, was turned into the Bank of England, as the records
show.
Ý His land was 140 acres in the Pettequamscutt purchase; bounded north by the highway, east by Edward Dyer's land, south by land of Daniel Pierce, and west by land of Jeremiah Howes.
7. MARY (2) -- Arthur (1) -- She was the eldest
daughter, and perhaps the eldest child of the immigrant.¦ "The Aylsworth
Register" makes no allusion to her. She married previous to the making of her
father's will, John Greene, who, Ray Greene Huling tentatively concludes was a
son of Benjamin (& Humilty Coggeshall), (2) Greene -- John (1). He gave a
receipt, Oct 13, Page 45 1726, for his wife's legacy in the settlement of the
immigrant's estate. The following is taken from an article by Ray Green Hulling
in the Narragansett Historical Register, Vol. II, No. 3, pp. 167-8, relating to
this man and his family:
"He is styled `Lieut. John' in 1732. On Jan. 9,
1733-4, being then of East Greenwich, he purchased 49 3-4 acres of land in what
is now West Greenwich, it being "the first farm in the first division in the
right of Samuel Cranston," and in 1743 sold farms formerly belonging to his
father and brother Caleb, both deceased. The Cranston farm was the site of his
home stead. He married (2) Aug. 7, 1741, Priscilla Brown, of Swansea, Mass.,
(having a daughter Freelove Bowen), who survived him. His will, made March 26,
proved April 24, 1752, alludes to two sons deceased, in addition to those named
below.
Children's - order uncertain.
i Philip, m. (1) Theodosia Spencer, (2) Mary
Sweet.
ii Benjamin, m. (1) Mercy Rogers, (2) Anna Sweet.

Josiah, and Amos named

Mary Aylworth ... must have been born as early as 1688 perhaps earlier [Rev.

8. ELIZABETH (2) -- Arthur (1) married (1)
.....Dolliver. * Of their family history nothing has been discovered. Before
1726 she married (2) Peleg Card. She died probably before his will was made,
Sept. 17, 1764. If she was his first wife they had the children named in the
list and perhaps others of whom we have no account.Ý Order of

9. MARTHA (2) -- Arthur (1) b. ca 1698, d. 1738,
married John Davis before December 1, 1727 (1729), and dwelt in East Greenwich,
where he died, before Feb. 25, 1737-8, when letters of administration issued to
Martha Davis, late wife and now widow of John Davis of said East Greenwich,
yeoman, deceased. Inventory, consisting mostly of household goods, farming
implements, and smith tools, amounted to the sum of £194-15s.-6d. Arthur
Aylworth, of East Greenwich, and Peleg Card, of North Kingstown, were bondsmen.
Nothing further has been discovered respecting their history.
* Near the site
