Descendants of: Solomon Ansley
Solomon Ansley is the progenitor of both the AINSLEY and ENSLEY families in North
Carolina. He is thought to be the son of John Ansley
(Angley) who was in NC as early as 1725-1735. Solomon was in Tyrrell
County and large numbers of his
descendants still reside in that area of the state. Corrupted spellings of the
ANSLEY name, in subsequent generations, led to the formation of AINSLEY and
ENSLEY families. I hasten to add that the AINSLEY (AINSLIE) spelling also can
be found in Scotland
and "may" represent a totally different family; that is, there's no
proof yet to connect the Scottish Ainsleys and the English Annesleys (Ansleys).
If you have such proof, please contact the author of this homepage and let's
share information.
