I agree that the Claremont references disprove that existing Walter profile was son of Edward and Sybil. Initial error seems to be in FindAGrave. I will go thru the sources in the next day or two and try to sort out which Walter Ainsworth is which. I very much appreciate your input.
James, could you please take a look at the profile of son Walter? I'm finding sources that conflict with Walter being born in Woodstock, CT, son of Edward and Sybil Child.
ETA more details:
There was a Walter Ainsworth born in Woodstock, son of Edward and Sybil ("Connecticut Births and Christenings, 1649-1906", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F74V-3BR : 7 January 2020), Walter Ainsworth, 1769.) but it looks like he remained in that part of New England; he's a good match for the Walter Ainsworth found in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1850.
