== The first known fact of the Hollingsworth family history is that an ancestor was an Anglo-Saxon who came to Britain
during the invasion of the sixth and seventh centuries and eventually settled in what is now the village of Mottram Cheshire County
England on approximately 1,000 acres. It was located on the east side of town on the high ground. According to a very ancient pedigree,
the family has been seated at Hollynworthe Hall since 1022 and became part of the nobility under King James 1. (Genealogical and Heraldic
Dictionary of Great Britain and Ireland dated 1858). Since the title was hereditary, the ancestry would have been unbroken.
The name Hollyworthe was derived from two words, "Holly" for holly trees and "Worthe" for land. It became the family surname in the
13th century. The present spelling gradually evolved as the English language changed. The huge hall and its accompanying church were
made of native stone. Although several centuries old, both buildings were still standing in 1884 owned by a Mr. Taylor. The estate, then 625
acres, was valued at 20,000 Pounds, or approximately $100,000 (1972). The last owner as an ancestral representative was Robert Hollingsworth,
Esq. who died in 1865. (Descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth Sr. by J.A. Stewart). Today the hall is gone but the church has been rebuilt
and still contains the family coat of arms. It is a stained glass window in the rectory. The church contains the names of every Vicar since
the 1300s. It truly is a beautiful building. Down the street is a much newer church called the Hollingsworth Church. Valentine was not listed
in the passenger list of the Welcome. It states that no list was formally drawn up and it was possible that some were not accounted for.
During the Reformation Period, the Hollingsworth family were severely persecuted by King Charles 1 because they were Protestants.
Many fled to Ireland. One Richard Hollingsworth (1607-1656), an ordained Presbyterian Minister with a Ph.D. Degree and a noted
Controversialist, wrote four tracts in defense of the church. His last and greatest, entitled "A Modest Plea for the Church of England"
was published in 1655. (The Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England by James Savage."

The name HOLLINGSWORTH, so widely known and honored in the United States,
is spelled severally: HOLLINGSWATH, HOLLINGSWIRTH, and HOLLINGSWORTH,
the last has been clung to by a large majority of the descendants of the
founder of the family in America, who was Valentine HOLLINGSWORTH, who
came direct to the New World, from Ireland, in 1682, the year in which
William PENN arrived in the Delaware, in front of what is now the city of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I. Valentine Hollingsworth Sr., first of this family in America, was born
in Parish Sego, County Armagh, Ireland, about 1632, son of Henry and
Catherine Hollingsworth. He married, Apr. 7, 1655, Ann, daughter of
Nicholas Ree, of the same county. She died Feb. 1, 1671, and he then
married Ann, daughter of Thomas and Jane Calvert, of Parish Sego, County
Armagh, Apr. 12, 1672. In 1682 he and his family, including his
son-in-law Thomas Connaway and indented servant John Musgrave, sailed
from Belfast to the Delaware River, arriving a few months after William
Penn's ship, the Welcome. He settled on a plantation of nearly 1000 acres
in Brandy Wine Hundred, Del. Shortly after his arrival a meeting was
established at his house, and in 1687 he granted [p.206]"unto ffriends
for a burying place half an acre of land for ye purpose, there being
already ffriends buried in the spot." He was a member of the first
Pennsylvania Assembly 1682-83, and of the Assemblies of 1687, 1688, 1695,
and 1700. He was a signer of Penn's Great Charter and a justice for New
Kent County. He was an overseer of Friends' meeting many years. His
second wife died Aug. 17, 1697, and his death occurred about 1711. Both
Valentine Hollingsworth Sr. and his second wife are buried in the
Friends' graveyard at Newark, Del., which he had given them in 1687. By
his first marriage he had 11 children.

VALENTINE HOLLINGSWORTH, the original emigrant ancestor was a son of
Henry HOLLINGSWORTH of Belleniskcrannel, Parish of Legoe, County Armagh,
Ireland, and Catharine, his wife and was born at Belleniskcrannel, about
the sixth month in the year 1632. He was m. 7th April, 1655, to Ann REE,
daughter of Nicholas REE, of Tanderagee, County Armagh. Ann REE was b.
circa 1628, at Tanderagee, and d. 1st February, 1671. He then m. a second
time, 12th April, 1672, Ann CALVERT, daughter of Thomas CALVERT, of
Dromgora, Parish of Segoe, County Armagh, and Jane his wife. Valentine
HOLLINGSWORTH was a Quaker and belonged to the Society of Friends; this
in a way explains his departure for the New World when in 1682, Valentine
HOLLINGSWORTH and his family, accompanied by his son-in-law, Thomas
CONNAWAY, and by John MUSGRAVE an indented servant, sailed from Belfast,
for the Delaware River, arriving a few months after William PENN'S
arrival in the good ship Welcome. He settled on a large plantation of
nearly a thousand acres on Shelpot Creek in Brandywine Hundred, New
Castle County, Delaware, about five miles northeast of the present city
of Wilmington, and not far from the Fort Christina, or Christiana of the
Swedes. That Valentine HOLLINGSWORTH was a man of extraordinary ability
and influence is demonstrated from the fact that almost immediately after
his arrival in the New World, he was called upon to hold office and
participate in public affairs. He was a Member of the First Assembly of
the Province of Pennsylvania, shortly after William PENN'S advent, that
of 1682-1683; also of the Grand Inquest empaneled 25th October, 1683, to
consider the famous case of Charles PICKERING and others charged with
counterfeiting. He served in several subsequent sessions of the Assembly,
those of 1687, 1688, 1689, 1695, and 1700, from New Castle County, and
was a Justice of the Peace from the same County. He was also a Signer of
PENN'S Great Charter and [p.293] a Member of the Pro-Provincial Council.
He d. circa 1711; his wife Ann, d. 17th August, 1697; both were buried in
the old burial ground at Newark, Delaware, which he had presented to the
Friends in 1687.

Footnote:
The records of this family in Ireland are from the registers of Lurgan
Meeting, County Armagh. There is, of course, no foundation for the
tradition that Valentine Hollingsworth married Catharine, daughter of
Henry Cornish, High Sheriff of London, who was executed in 1685. It is
probable that the Hollingsworths went over from England to Ireland with
other planters early in the seventeenth century, but there is no proof to
show that they came from Cheshire, as stated by some historians of the
family. For an extended record of descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth
see Hollingsworth Genealogical Memoranda, by William B. Hollingsworth
(Baltimore, 1884); also see McFarlan-Stern Genealogy, 6-11, 56-60,
History of Chester County, 605.
== Born in Ireland and sailed from Belfast to America in 1682 with his wife and children on the good ship * [ Welcome with William Penn.] He settled on approximately 1,000 acres in Branywine Hundred near what is now the city of Wilmington, Delaware. At that time it was a area of Pennsylvania. He was a devout Quaker (Society of Friends) and many of his descendants still adhere to that faith. From 1686 to 1710 he was Superintendent of the Quaker Monthly Meetings and established several in the Province of Pennsylvania in 1683. He also served in 1687, 1695, and 1700. He was a signer of William Penn's Great Charter and a member of the Pro-Provincial Council in 1695. He died in 1711 and was buried in a burial ground he had presented to the society of Friends in 1687 and named New Ark from which the City Of Newark, Delaware got it's name. He was survived by (five ?) sons and one daughter at age 79. His descendants were noted for their enterprise and industry. Many were engaged in the manufacture of flour and owned mills on branches of the Elk River in Cecil County, Maryland and New Castle County, Delaware. One Levi Hollingsworth, member of a distinguished Maryland ship building company, built a copper rolling mill on the Gunpowder River near Baltimore in 1809. His copper was used to cover the dome of the Capitol Building. This was acquired by Paul Revere and is now the Copper and Brass Co. (History of Revere Copper and Brass Co.). This Levi is not Eli's father. Between 1766 and 1770 several Hollingsworth families along With many Quaker families migrated to the Carolina's, which proved to be a mistake. The farmland was not suitable and being anti-slavery, they were in a poor competitive position. This caused most of the Quakers to migrate again, this time to Ohio and the Indiana Territory. In 1805 seven Hollingsworth families left in one group. They split at the Ohio River, three going to Ohio and four to the Indiana Territory. Quaker records reveal that many who went into Ohio soon came on into the Indiana Territory, which was then the frontier and good land could be obtained by Federal Grant. (In reality they migrated because they were told of a great war pending by a Quaker fortune teller. ) It seems regrettable that these color some and adventurous Quaker people who migrated and settled in groups, just as depicted by the cinema, have now lost their identity and became just another denomination to the Protestant Faith. Notes................ Was in the Irish Rebellion 1641 when a child. * In error They sailed on the " Antelope " (From Cyrus Hollingsworth and Paul Hollingsworth research dated 1972) Sailed from Belfast Ireland Was accompanied by his indentured servant, John Musgrave and son-in-law Thomas Connaway (Mary's Husband). Probably became a Quaker early in the 1660s
== Valentine was a member of the Church Society of Friends. He was a man of extraordinary ability and influence which is
demonstrated by the fact that almost immediately after his arrival in the New World, he was called upon to hold office
and participate in Public affairs. Valentine was a signer of Penn's Greater Charter. Valentine presented the old Burial
Ground at Newark Delaware to the Friends in 1687. He came to this country on William Penn's ship Antelope in 1682.
He is buried at the Old Burial Ground, Newark, Delaware, USA.
== Ann's parents were Nicholas Ree / Rea and Ann of Tanderagee.

vol. 6, P 720) He assisted Thomas Holme in laying out the city of Philadelphia. It seem that Lydia remained a Quaker but her husband reverted back
to the Established Church of his Grandfather. His sons Stephen and Zebulon certainly were Episcopalians. Henry Hollingsworth was Sheriff
of Chester Co. , Penn, in 1695, and coroner there and Clerk of the court, 1700, to 1708. He be considered the most prominent of his fathers children.

William Hogg, Benjamin Borden, John Littler, James Wright, John Frost,
Thomas Dawson, Thomas Branson, George Hobson (Sr. & Jr.), Evan Thomas,
John Calvert, Morgan Morgan, Hugh Parrall, James Davis, Thomas Babb,
Edward Davis, John Hood, Abraham Hollingsworth, Simeon Taylor, and many
others, together with their wives, sons, and daughters, all brought
together in this wonderful Shenandoah Valley. Many others soon followed
them. Is it, therefore, any wonder that this community, now a large part
of what became Frederick Co., Va., became one of the greatest strongholds
of the whole of America for the up-building of character and [p.358]
civic virtue and Faith in God and in His Truth? The generations of the
early families of this community have moved on southward and westward,
spreading ever outward and going ever onward, generation after
generation, until millions of descendants of these great families
literally cover the entire face of the United States, mingling their
precious blood with the descendants of other great Quaker families of
Maryland, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
New Jersey, New York and all New England States, going on to Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa and all Middle Western States and up and down the Pacific
Coast, thus linking together the genealogical lineages of many millions
of our sturdiest Americans of today. Ohio, once called the Northwest
Territory, was the “bottleneck” (or Gateway) through which all Quaker
families passed in their migrations Westward, whether from the Carolinas,
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and/or the New
England States; they all met in Ohio, where they mingled their bloods
through marriages between their children; and then they migrated to
Indiana, from whence they spread northward and westward until they
covered all states, with the exceptions of a few states to the South:
Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana, where few Friends have ever
lived, on account that the Quakers could not live contentedly where
slavery existed."

== "In the years 1754-55 a determined effort was made by the colonial government to force Friends to bear arms
against the French and Indians, and upon their steady refusal some of them were beaten and imprisoned.
The records of Frederick County show that in September, 1754, the following Friends, Joseph Roberts,
Edward Tyler, Dennis Bond, James Henry, Thomas Howell, Benjamin Kelley, Henry Hampton,
and [p.188] James Welch, were imprisoned in the county jail at Winchester, where they were kept for over a year.
On one occasion, Hopewell Friends held a meeting beneath the jail windows until dispersed by soldiers who
seized one of them, George Hollingsworth, and threw him into prison.
Upon his being brought to trial he was fined xxx5 Sterling for "disorderly meeting & assembling."
Friends in eastern Virginia waited upon Governor Dinwiddie at Williamsburg and finally secured the release
of their brethren in Winchester." Source: HOPEWELL FRIENDS HISTORY 1734-1934 Frederick County, Virginia

He then settled 2.5 miles NW of Plainfield, IN. The family built a log cabin, ate wild game, made sugar and molasses from trees,
raised flax and spun and wove their clothing. Elizabeth said that she heard wolves run over the roof. The girls would carry
their shoes and hose near the church and them put them on; when out of sight on the way home, they would take them off
and carry them. On Oct. 07, 1824, they arrived in Hendricks County, IN and entered 400 acres, including the N/2 Section 28 Guilford Twp.
