== Slave Ownership ==

Slave ownership seems to have been continued by George's descendants. 20 years after George's death, in the 1790 census<ref>http://files.usgwarchives.net/md/baltimore/census/1790/page180.txt</ref>, George (son) has 2 slaves, Elizabeth (wife) has 8, although Darby is listed as having none.

== Land ==

* [[The regulated Vineyard]]
* [[James's Prospect]]
* Either George or his son [[George Ensor (1740)]] owned a tract of land called [[Batchelor’s Choice]]<ref>http://files.usgwarchives.net/md/baltimore/land/tracy1.txt</ref>.

== Ancestry ==

[https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/16410631/person/375313077/facts This family tree] claims, without sources, to trace the Ensor line back to 1475.
