Do you have access to THE IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS INTO PA
1682-1750, by Myers? There is a lot written about the Hollingsworth family.
There is much background on Valentine Hollingsworth, and wife Ann and
children, who came to PA in 1682, from Balleniskcrannell, Parish of Sego,
County Armagh, Ireland, and settled in New Castle County on Delaware. I'll
include some, but if you send me your snailmail address I'll copy it all and
send it to you.
Henry Hollingsworth, son of Valentine, came over from Ireland in 1683,
in the Ship LION, as an indented servant to Robert Turner.
Valentine Hollingsworth, so of Henry Hollingsworth, of Belleniskcranness
was married 4 Mo 7, 16554, to Ann Ree, daughter of Nicholas Ree, of
Tanderagee, county Armagh. She was born about 1628, at Tanderagee, and died
2 MO. 1, 1671. He then married a 2nd time 4 MO. 12, 1672, to Ann Calvert,
daughter of Thomas Calvert, of Dromgora, parish of Segoe, County Armagh, and
Jane his wife. (there follows a copy of the marriage certificate)
1671, County Armagh..."Valaentine Hollingswoirth had taken from him for
Tithe, by Thomas Ashbrook tithmonger 29 stooks of Barly, and 3 stooks and a
hald of oats, all worth one pound one shilling; 1672k taken by Edward
O'Maghan, 26 stoods wheat, 3 car-loads hey, 26 stooks of Oatsk 26 stooks of
Barley, Value 2 lf. 18 shillings; 1673, corn and hay valued at 2 lb; 1674,
wheat, hay, oats, harley valued at 3 lb 4 shillings.
in 1682, Valentine Hollingsworth and his family, accompanied by his
son-in-law, Thomas Connaway, and by John Msgrave, an indented servant,
sailed from Belfast for the Delaware, and settled on a large plantation of
hearly 100 acres on Shelpot Creek in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle, about 5
miles NE of present city of Wilmington. He was prominently identified with
the affairs of Friends, and early meetings were held in his house.......and
so on. Ther follows a long list of many pages, containing his children,
their mates, children, dates , etc. If you want them, let me know your
snailmail.
