ELEANOR KELLOGG {82} <1.2b.3a.4f.5c.6f.7h>, dau. of Edward {27} <1.2b.3a.4f.5c.6f> b. probably in Brookfield, 20 Jan. 1710; m., as his second wife, Thomas Ainsworth, b. in Woodstock, Conn., 15 Apr., 1708. He had m. (1) her sister, Dorothy {78} <1.2b.3a.4f.5c.6f.7d>. He m. (3) Ruth Mason, who survived him and administered upon his estate in 1794.

In his old age, he thought that he was the last survivor of the soldiers in the famous Lovewell's fight. In this he was probably mistaken, as no Ainsworth is mentioned in the list of Lovewell's men. There is a tradition that he, at one time, lived with the Narragansett Indians. He was very strong and venturesome, and there are old anecdotes of his cunning in the hunt and Indian fighting. It is not known which of the wives were the mothers of these children, nor is the order of their birth known. Dorothy signed a deed in 1736, and it is probable that he was a widower 5 June 1743, when he gave a deed that had no wife's signature. It is known, however, that Hannah was the dau. of Eleanor.
