Note

THE HOLLINGSWORTH FAMILY---by Ed Stout

Samuel Hollingsworth, the first son of Valentine and Anne (Calvert) Hollingsworth, was the great grandfather of our Ruth. He was born on 27 Mar. 1673, and came to Delaware with his parents in 1682, living in New Castle County from then until his marriage. In 1701 he married Hannah Harland (Harlan) in the Kennett Meeting. Her grandfather, Peter Harland, is also found on the Muster Rolls of County Armagh, in 1631. The new couple moved to Chester County, Pennsylvania, where they remained the balance of their lives. He was Justice of the Peace for Chester County in 1729 and again appointed in 1738. He served in the Provincial Assembly as an Assemblyman from New Castle County for one session from 1725 to 1728 and his name often appears in the old books of the courts of that time. During the Pennsylvania-Maryland Boundary case, which finally ended with Mason's and Dixon's famous line, he appeared in 1740, at age 67, in lengthy testimony. He died in September of 1748 in Birmingham Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This couple had five children, the third was a son, also named Samuel.

13. ↑ Source: #S176 Data: Text: Valentine Hollingsworth, wife-Ann; children: Mary Conway; Catherine; Thomas; Samuel; and son-in-law, Thomas Conway, immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1682 for "William Penn's land" from Belfast. His certificate is dated July 6, 1682. About Dec. 10, 1682, Valentine arrived on the "Antelope" under the master "Edward Cooke". Missing from the 1682 immigration were sons Henry, age 23, Enoch, age 7, and Valentine, age 5 and daughter Ann, age 2. Perhaps they were on the ship the "Sea Lion" as the GAB states that Valentine immigrated on the Sea Lion instead in 1682. (C-429, 592) (This information came from the book "IMMIGRANTS OF THE IRISH INTO PENNSYLVANIA, 1682-1750".)
