HOLLINGSWORTHS IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE FIRST CENSUS-1790 The First United States Census of the entire country was taken in 1790. Many homefolks felt that it was a plot to aid in taxation schemes, and so the Marshals (Enumerators) had a difficult time obtaining the needed statistics! Of the sixteen (16) states then enumerated, we unfortunately lack the records for six. The schedules for Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee & Virginia were either destroyed by the British when they burned the Capitol in 1812, or were lost in some other unknown way. A large collection of Tax Lists for the same period have been compiled in an attempt to replace these schedules. We have availed ourselves of them. We can, therefore, give a list of HOLLINGSWORTHS in Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee & Virginia, who were, at least, taxpayers. The "Titheables," or "Rateables," of New Jersey are extant for most of that state in the period, but have not been published. There are partially published lists in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey now in continuous presentation. Your editor has examined those which are now available, being only those for the early years 1773-1774. No form of the name has been discovered there. These include Gloucester, Cape May, Hunterdon, and a few other counties. Below, we present the total list of HOLLINGSWORTH (HOLLINSWORTH) heads of families in the U.S. Census of 1790 for the 10 states which have complete schedules. These are now available in most large libraries, published and fully indexed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1907, 1908. There then follows a list of the HOLLINGSWORTHS found in the secondary lists of Taxables for the five states whose 1790 Census Schedules are lost, omitting New Jersey, which is too obscure to be of value. Before continuing, it is interesting to note that the U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C., in conjunction with its publication of the extant Census Schecules of 1790, published a Digest of the Statistics shown in the Census. This is titled "U.S. Bureau of the Census - A Century of Population Growth, 1790 - 1900." (Washington, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1909.) On page 246, under the heading "Nomenclature, Dealing with names represented by at least 100 white persons by States and Territories at the First Census, 1790 - ....," we find the following statistical information on our family: "HOLLINGSWORTH, HULLENSWORTH, HOLLISWORTH, HOLINGSWORTH, HOLINSWORTH, HOLLANDSWORTH, HOLLUSWORTH, HOLLUNDSWORTH.." 1.
