Also - the US civil war records for soldiers lists William, James and George Ainslie as US Confederate soldiers.  Looks like he fought with his brothers.

Hi Carol,

My advice is to forget about Ancestry links and trees. Only go with the proof i.e. certificates that you have got. Unfortunately, I cannot find a death of George Ainslie but I still think the america connection has not been proved.

Yes I agree Tom, unless I can support it I typically "approach with caution".  Thanks for your help.
