THE HOOSIER HOLLINGSWORTHS
(At the 1850 U.S. Census)


Now that we have treated the Quaker Hollingsworth families in the Newberry County, South Carolina, area, and also sketched for you the life of Valentine Hollingsworth, the founder of this line, in Ireland, we feel that we can place before you all the Hollingsworth families in the State of Indiana as of the Census enumeration year 1850. This valuable information comes to us through the cooperation of the Genealogy Dept., State Library, Indianapolis, Indiana, where a complete index to the 1820, 1830 and 1850 enumerations is on file. After receiving a copy of the index covering our surname, the editor has consulted the microfilm copies of the original census schedules in the reading room of the Rufus B. VonKlinesmidt Central Library, Fifth & Flower Streets, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. Many of these "Hoosier" Hollingsworths were born in South Carolina, as the schedules show. Some even came direct from the area covered by the Bush River Quaker Monthly Meeting just considered on previous pages. Others sojourned a while in the State of Ohio before pushing on to Indiana. We will provide a full tabulation of all other statistics at the end of this article. But we must note one, in particular, here. Out of all the families, only one of the Hollingsworths was born outside of the United States! This was the Joseph Hollingsworth, age 28, Engineer, born in England, who is listed on page 24. The editor tried to find him again in the later census for Aurora, Indiana, but he was not found. We present the families enumerated in alphabetical order of County names.
