The two old Angle-Saxon words, HOLEGN, or HOLYN, (a holly tree), and WORp
or WURdE, (both pronounced similar to our modern English word 'worth',
meaning "an enclosed place,") are believed to be the roots forming the
ancient place name HOLYNWORTHE, or HOLLINGWORTH. Thus, the meaning of
this place-name and surname, would be, "THE HOLLY-TREE FARM," or
"ENCLOSED HOMESTEAD AMONG HOLLY BUSHES." It is thought that the place
HOLISURDE (pronounced HOLLYS-WERTH) mentioned in the Cheshire Domesday
Book (c1086 A.D.) lying in the area of Mottram-in-Longdendale, in the
northeastern part of the county, gave rise to the surname. There is also
a "Hollinworth", a hamlet or chapelry in Butterworth Township in Mottram
Parish. Two families calling themselves "Hollingworth" held manors and
also grants of arms, in this township, beginning about the year 1613.
Persons bearing the surname extend back to at least 1215 at this place.
How, by what means, or for what purpose, some of the members of the
Hollingworth or Hollinworth families in England began to spell the name
"Hollingsworth," by adding the letter "s", is unknown. The practice first
appears about the middle of the 17th century, although isolated instances
can be noted back into the 1500's.
This series deals with the Hollingsworth family of Newton County,
Mississippi. Some of the readers interested in this family may think it
a bit previous, but the anxiety expressed by so large a posterity of
this old family, as well as the serious errors rampant about them, makes
it mandatory that we publish what we have now.
Isaac Hollingsworth was the first of his surname to bring his family
and settle in MS Territory. His brother, Jacob, was the next in order of
such a settlement. Isaac & Jacob, were already adults when MS was
organized as a Territory of the United States, in 1798. By the time
Statehood was achieved (1817), Isaac Hollingsworth had been settled in
the Territory a number of years. (There is a single reference to a
William Hollingsworth, in MS in 1802, but no further information about
him after.) To these men belong the acclaim for having made the first
permanent Hollingsworth settlement in MS. Their descendants still abound
in the area, and the family has always had a place of high esteem in the
public eye, and a deep religious faith in its private life.
Isaac Hollingsworth was born about 1780, in North Carolina. The U.S. Census, 1850 and 1860 confirm this. (A work called "Family Records of MS Revolutionary Soldiers," by Alice Tracy Welsh, page 348, asserts that Isaac's age in 1850 is "109 years," and based on this false assumption, supposes him to be the Isaac who was the Revolutionary Soldier in Twiggs County, GA, in 1827. The actual reading of his age in 1850, is "69".) He died about 1866 near Decatur, Newton County, at the age of about 85. He had resided there for about 30 years. The Court House at Decatur burned in 1876 and with it burned the best of the records about this family! In some cases the loss was made good when members of the family brought their old deeds in and re-recorded them agter the fire. A complete coverage of the County records for Hollingsworth material has never been made. No telling what juicy information awaits us!
The exact location of birth of Isaac Hollingsworth and his only known brother, Jacob, is not known. Great-grandchildren of Isaac say that he "came from the Carolinas." But the particulars of his parentage and exact birthplace have been lost to living memory. Unless proof through records is found, we may never enjoy the re-birth of this part of the history. This writer has been helped immensely by many members of this family, and, as a consequence, has amassed a good amount of material about it. Still, much is missing.
If one assumes that these men were living in North Carolina, as
children in their father's household, in 1790, they both would have been
listed as "males under 16 years." There are seven families listed in that
census who have at least 2 such children (or persons) in the enumerations.
(See REGISTER, April, 1965, p. 16). Let us cover this list:
(The Census of 1790 listed families by
"Free White Males, including Heads of Families:
Over 16 years;
Under 16 years;
Free White Females, all ages;
All other Free Persons, Except Indians, Not Taxed; Slaves."
In 1790, Isaac was about 10: Jacob about 15 years old. If they WERE in
North Carolina, and if the Census taker didn't miss that family, the
following seven families might have included them:
If perchance, the boys were in SC in 1790, there were thirteen
Hollingsworth families there who might qualify! We will, therefore,
confine our analysis to NC, unless future research disqualifies and
eliminates all the "candidates"!
Information from other sources, too lengthy to publish here,
eliminates the following:
Samuel Hollingsworth of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, is the best likely person to be the father of the MS pioneers. In 1790 he had 7 males over 16; 2 males under 16; and 3 females, plus 10 slaves! Other information shows he was a soldier of the Revolution, and a signer of the "Cumberland Association" of 1775, in behalf of Independence. He was born about 1740 and died about 1814, aged about 74 years, supposedly by the bite of a venomous snake. (Descendants of Valentine Hollingsowrth, Sr., (1925) by J.A. Stewart, page 140.)
The recent publication, "Mississippi Daughters & Their Ancestors," a D.A.R. work, page 117, lists "HOLLINGSWORTH, Samuel; 1740-1814: North Carolina; m. (2) Sarah Murphy 1804; ch. Samuel H. m. Liney Smith: Desc.: Mrs. Lorene Rayburn CONNER." As far as the information we have, the above is very incorrect. Samuel Hollingsworth who married Liney or Linna Smith, was a son of Isaac Hollingsworth of Newton County, MS. He was born in MS about 1814/15, (See further). But, as reflected in the opinions of several in the family, it appears that "a generation has been left out here." In other words, Isaac Hollingsworth has been left out, and Samuel H. Hollingsworth who married Liney Smith was the Soldier's grandson, not his son! Also, Isaac would be by the Soldier's first wife (name unknown), not the second.
Stewart's book, above cited, is in error, placing Samuel the Soldier as a son of Samuel 3 & Barbary (Shewin) Hollingsworth of Pennsylvania. (See REGISTER, December, 1966, page 147.)
pg 3 VOL. 3, NO. 1, MARCH, 1967
As the article in December, 1966 REGISTER shows, Samuel the Soldier
was a grandson of John 2 & Catherine (Tyler) Hollingsworth, whose children
were all reared in the staunch "Welsh Baptist" form of belief, commonly
called "Primitive Baptist." As far as we can tell, the Soldier was of
the same belief. And so was Isaac Hollingsworth of MS and his family.
Among his grandchildren were many lay and ordained ministers!
All of this is in the tradition of Rev. Stephen Hollingsworth, founder of Calvinism at Cape Fear River, the oldest son of John & Catherine. Samuel the soldier of Fayetteville was probably his son, and Isaac and Jacob of MS may have been his two youngest sons in 1790. Stewart (copying the 1884 book by Wm. B. Hollingsowrth of Baltimore, MD) lists but 4 sons of the Soldier: John, Stephen, Enoch & Samuel. (This writer has found deeds in Cumberland County between "Samuel Hollingsworth, Senior, & Samuel Hollingsworth, Junior, both of Cumberland County, NC," as of the year 1795). If the 1790 Census is listing for us only the one man, his wife, and children, it is readily seen that a number of the children are left out in Stewart's list. The number is 6, four of whom were sons. So, we only know the names of four of the eight sons of Samuel the Soldier. Even if Isaac and Jacob are at length identified as two of these four- who were the others? We will return to our subject in MS and find a partial answer there.
Isaac Hollingsworth was himself a soldier. He served as both a regular member, and as the gunsmith, in the Company commanded by Capt. William Smith, in the 13th Regiment Infantry, MS Territory Militia, enrolled for 3 months, serving one month, at least, from January 6th to February 5th, 1815. The National Archives has only three small payment slips on him, and one of them shows he was "on command to the smith shop".
This confirms the family tradition that he was a gun smith by trade. On January 19, 1815, about 320 persons signed a Petition for relief of the distress caused by their recent service as soldiers in the War of 1812. Isaac Hollingsworth signed this document along with his captain. (H.F. 13 Congress, 3 session DS. Copy in "Territorial Papers of the USA, MS Terr." by Clarence Edwin Carter, Vols. 5 & 6, Archives, Jackson, MS. Original document probably at National Archives, Washington, D.C. 20408.)
The Petition was signed at Camp Pearl River in the MS Territory. The Territorial Census of MS, 1816, lists Isaac Hollingsworth in Lawrence County. (The above Petition is stated to be made by persons in Pike and Lawrence Counties.) The Tax Assessments, 1818, for Lawrence County, list him paying tax on 160 acres, located on "Fair River". (Per letter, Feb. 14, 1967, from Archives, Jackson, MS. The letter states that such a river is not found on modern maps. Can this be some corruption of the name "Pearl River?" This great river runs through Lawrence County.)
The U.S. Census of 1820, the first national enumeration available for that area, shows both Jacob and Isaac Hollingsworth in Township #7 of Lawrence County, with families. The Range not being designated, it is hard to say where the land lay, but it could have been on the edge of Pearl River. Isaac had a family of 13:
Isaac is listed as between 26-45 years and his wife the same. (Her name has never been learned.)
Jacob has 2 sons,
In the 1830 Census, Isaac Hollingsworth is listed in Copiah County, MS. His brother Jacob's son Isaac is listed there also, and, to distinguish the two, they are called "Senior" & "Junior". (See REGISTER, Sept., 1966, page 113.)
On Dec. 30, 1835, at the Land Office at Augusta, MS, Isaac made cash payment of $377.13 for a lot containing 301 & 71/100 acres, situated in Neshoba (now Newton) County. (Legal Description: "S.W. Quarter, E. Half, N.W. & N.E. Quarter, Section 13,, Township 7. Range 11.") He paid the rate of $1.25 per acre. This file is available at the National Archives, Washington. In the file also is a Patent, (signed by President Martin Van Buren) dated Jan. 5, 1841, for the West half of Section 11, Twp. 7, Range 11 East, 80 acres. This made a total of 381 & 71/100 acres. The larger tract, also Patented under same date, was re-recorded (Certificate # 3091) at Newton County Courthouse 15 January, 1883, after the fire. On 28 October, 1850, Isaac Hollingsworth sold to Samuel Herd (both of Newton County, MS.) for the sum of $453.00, 151 acres of this, being "East half of the North West Quarter & West Half of the North East Quarter of Section 13, Township 7, Range 11." to hold forever, etc. If he sold any other sections of his land, we may never know, it usually being up to the Grantee to make the recordings, and in this case, to re-record them after the 1876 fire. We assume, then, that he retained about 230 acres as his own plantation.
As for Isaac's wife; It is evident that she died between about 1825 and 1829, in Copiah County, MS, somewhere between the ages of 31-50 years, judging that she was counted "26-45" in the 1820 census. She was probably nearer to 45. None of her large group of living descendants remembers her name. Likewise, no complete record of the names of Isaac's children has been made available. Nevertheless, a good list appears at the conclusion here.
A fire at the home of Rev. Salathiel Morris Hollingsworth, a
grandson, which took place about 1953, destroyed that man's records of
his forebears, as well as those added by his daughter, Miss Maggie
Hollingsworth. The collection contained photographs, books and trunks
of diaries. But Miss Maggie is still living and has reconstructed from
memory and with the help of her niece Mrs. jane Brent of Raymond, MS.,
much of what was lost. (Brava, Aunt Maggie.) Mrs. Brent is to be thanked
for most of our own information. In his diary, Rev. S.M. Hollingsworth
named Isaac & Jacob Hollingsworth as brothers and mentioned a third
brother, Abraham. (Jacob died in 1852 in Madison County, see a later
article for information.) Salathiel was born in 1837 and lived to be
almost 86. He, therefore, was nearly thirty when his grandfather, Isaac,
died in 1866. Miss Maggie was over forty when Rev. S.M. Hollingsworth
died. We, therefore, have these three overlapping lives as a source of
the best evidence we might hope to obtain about the family. (Per letters
Apr. 12 & May 2, 1965, from Mrs. J. F. Brent, Raymond, MS) Now we present
a tentative chart of the names of the children of Isaac Hollingsworth of
Newton County, MS. We invite documented corrections.

In Part Two of this series we plan to give more data, about this
family, and about Jacob Hollingsworth, brother of Isaac, and his family.
The Legend of the Spottiswoode affair is varied by the different
members of the families of the County Wicklow or County Wexford
Hollingsworths who remember it. Perhaps it is varied again, each time
it is retold. But one variation says that "The first Hollingsworth who
came to Ireland came from America..." Add to this the legend that he
was a mariner or sailor, but not one of any class standing. Could he
have been this Thomas Hollingsworth? Could he have returned to Arklow,
County Wicklow, Ireland, settled down and raised a family? The reader,
now and in the future when this article is reviewed, must realize that
this writer is in no way attempting to "start a rumor". This article,
aside from the fact of the two separate Hollingsworth references, is not
attempting to make fact out of a fancy or a tradition. This should be
remembered.
Arklow has been a haven for mariners and involved in a maritime
industry for centuries. At least four Hollingsworths were ship's
captains, owning their own vessels, or mariners, out of that seacoast
village-port, in the nineteenth century, and descendants colatteral are
still in the business there and in Dublin and Wicklow today. Arklow was
the home - the Parish, Manor or Lordship thereof- of the Hollingsworths
from at least 1750 as shown by deeds registered at Dublin.
(See REGISTER, Vol. 2, No. 2, page 71, #128949.) They were Gentlemen
Farmers in Cronelusk, a townland just south of Arklow town, about one
mile. The mountains called Big Arklow Lightship, once commanded by a
grandson of one of these Hollingsworths, is off that coast, in St.
George's Channel. The countryside near that place is described as the
most beautiful in all Ireland. It is aabout forty miles south of Dublin.
This writer is certain that the family at Cronlush (sic) in the
early eighteenth century, was the original "planting," from which his
own branch at Ballycanew, Co Wexford, grew, starting in 1746 when John
Hollinsworth, Sr. (1713-1791) made his first lease of the farm called
Ballinakill. (REGISTER, July, 1965 p. 60 # 8, Reg. # 105099.) John was
one of three known brothers, the others being Samuel of Coolookbeg, Co
Wexford, and William of Cronelusk, Arklow, Co Wicklow (1724-1808). The
original lease for Cronelusk has never been found. (This writer has been
looking for it for two years and it appears never to have been recorded.)
But we know from later deeds that it was for the lives of William
Hollinsworth and of his brother Samuel. The implication here is that
there was a third party omitted in this recital. Land tenure for lives
was usually for three lives: A man, his two sons, or a man, his brother
and his son, or his wife and his brother, etc. Perhaps one of the "lives"
had literally expired. The land was paying a yearly rent of 611.0.6d,
according to the Gead-Rent deed cited 128949, a detail left out in our
other article above alluded to.
We have no idea of any great implication, about the name of the
father of these three men, John, Samuel & William. But one other
Hollingsworth was named, in connection with this land. What was his
Christian name? Why, Thomas, of course. He had possession of the lands
of Cronelusk as of March 26, 1765, as shown in our July 1965, issue, page
60, No. 10, Registration 157152. This is the only reference to him we
have. Was the the "third life" in the lease? Was he the father of the
others? Was he the Pirate? You tell us. Have other members of the
family put the lid on this story before?
Last issue we published the grand news of the discovery of our
Wexford Emigrant Ancestor's arrival in New York on the Brig William,
July 20, 1829. Since then we found more details about his Illinois
farms. (Per letter, Jan. 20, 1967, from the State Archives, Springfield,
Illinois.)
(1) 1850 U.S. Census, Schedule 3, Agricultural Statistics.
(Town of Butler-later called Cherry Valley Township-Winnebago County,
Illinois, page 755, line 31.)
"FREDERICK HOLLINGSWORTH. 123 acres of land unimproved*; 72 acres
improved. Cash value of farm: $2,000.00. Value of farming implements:
$150.00. LIVESTOCK: $302.00. PRODUCE: 300 bushels of wheat (annually);
100 bushels of Indian corn (annually); 150 bushels of oats (annually)."
(* This reading may be "128 acres unimproved." That complies better with
deeds in this writer's possession, which show that he had 200 acres in
all.)
(2) 1860 U.S. Census, Schedule 3, Agricultural Statistics.
(New Milford Township, Winnebago County, Illinois, page 57, line 22.)
"HOLLINGSWORTH, FREDERICK . 180 acres of land improved; 13 acres
unimproved. Cash value of farm: $3,700.00. Value of farming
implements: $220.00. LIVESTOCK: 3 horses; 5 cows; 4 other cattle;
3 swine; Value of livestock: $329.00. PRODUCE: 400 bushels of wheat
(for census year expiring June 1, 1860); 500 bushels of corn; 300
bushels of oats."
In a previous REGISTER we expressed the wish that our own U.S.
Census could be as detailed as the Canadian. Lo and behold: it is!
The trouble is, these Schedules, like the Mortality Schedules (lists of
all members of all families who had died in the 12 months before the
census years, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880), were not filmed with the Population
Schedules by the National Archives. Those schedules have been returned
by the U.S. government to the ownership of the several states. The
Illinois Schedules are at Springfield, as can be seen. Those for the
state of Iowa are at the Historical Society, Centenniel Bldg., Iowa City.
Only the Census of 1870 for the part of the state of Minnesota, Counties
whose names begin with "A-S", wa filmed with the other 2 schedules,
Mortality and Agricultural, and these were bought from the Minnesota
Historical Society by the National Archives to fill the gap caused by the
loss of the Federal copies. Seeing these, the writer immediately knew
the course ahead of him, and the above is the result.
Frederick Hollingsworth obtained his first farm in Cherry Valley in 1837,
from the wild state. To this he added a 40 acre tract, and sold the
entire 200 acres in 1856. He then purchased his 193 acre farm on Section
28 in New Milford Township, from John Edwards. It may readily appear it
was a well improved farm and of consequently greater value than the other.
Such a find, although of little genealogical value, gives us a taste of
reality to be sure.

This completes the search of the regular deeds, from 1785-1875. It is to
be regretted that, while much information about certain families of
Hollingsworths was located, not enough about others was.
To complete our presentation of all Land Records for this important
Hollingsworth county or district, (before going on to present the
Probates, Equity Court Records, and a few miscellaneous other items in
our next issue) we turn to the following book:
"Old Record Book No. 2" 96 District, Union County, South Carolina,
(Period covered; 1785-1800) Some wills, Deeds, etc.
(81) p. 81. "I, WILLIAM FARR, State of South Carolina, Union County, to
ELIAS HOLLINGSWORTH, Esqr., of Newberry County, S.C." Sum; L2. Sterling.
99 acres on south side of Broad River part of larger tract granted to
Thomas Tramel by Lord Charles G. Montague, in Nov., 1764.
Witnesses: Bernard Glen, Joseph Coleman (see no., 78), Henry Bales:
Dated Nov. 10, 1789.
(82) p. 87. ELIAS HOLLINGSWORTH, Esqr. of Newberry County, to Wm. Farr,
Union County. Sum: L20 Sterling. 46 acres in Union Co., part of a tract
granted to William Love by Governer Matthew Rowan of North Carolina, in
1753. Same witnesses.
Dated 10 Nov., 1789.
Recorded March 24, 1790.
(83) p. 214. We do give all our rights to a tract of land, 100 acres
that did belong to Magnus Simonson, dec., on Fishdam ford, adjoining
JOSEPH HOLLINGSWORTH's land...to (Simonson's) four youngest children,
Magnus, Grace, Mary, & Nancy, agreeable their father's will.
Signed; James, Stephen, Hannah & Phebe Bishop, MARY HOLLINGSWORTH
(some of these signed in Hancock Co., Georgia).
Wits; Wm. Harper, Sally & Asa Bishop.
Nov. 20, 1796.
pg 14
(83) p. 54. ELIAS HOLLINGSWORTH, a witness to a bond of David Hopkins,
dated Sept. 12, 1788;
Recorded Dec. 30, 1789.
NOTE on No. 83: The Index to this item reads: " BISHOP, Jas. & others To
the Heirs of Jos Hollingsworth, page 214." This is clearly an error.
The contents of this old deed compared with the Last Will of Magnus
Simonson (to be published here later) show that these people signing
were all the heirs and children and grandchildren of this man. Mary
Hollingsworth was one of his daughters. We do not know her husband's
name.
John Hollingsworth's birth is recorded in the Book of Births &
Deaths of Newark (Kennett) Monthly Meeting of Friends, Penna./Delawre,
page 377:
"John the son of Vallintin and Ann Hollingsworth was born the 19th
of the 2d month 1684."
The next entry about John is the Request in the Minutes of the same
meeting, and in the Minutes of Salem Monthly Meeting in New Jersey, dated
in Newark Meeting Book 2.1.1705/6, for permission to marry Catrin Tyler
of Salem Meeting. (She was the daughter of William & Elizabeth Tyler of
Alloways Creek, Salem County.) John V. Hollingsworth reports that the
records of Newark do not show that they were actually married. There is
good possibility they were married in the Quaker faith. But it may be
that they went and were married by a "hireling priest" - a Quaker phrase
for any minister outside their jurisdiction. At any event they were
married.
Next, the writer found trace of them in a book called "Papers of
the Historical Society of Delaware - Records of the Welsh Tract Baptist
Meeting, Pencader Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, 1701-1828, in
two parts, (1904)." Here are all the references:
Part 1,
pg 15
"An Address from Inhabitants of Salem to Governor Hunter-relative to
the payment of taxes and the election of new Representatives for that
County. (From P.R.O.B.T., New Jersey, Vol. I, C. 108.) To his EXcy Robert
Hunter Esqr. Capt. Generall and Govr in Chiefe of ye province of New
Jersey NewYork & c-
The petition is dated at "Salem (New Jersey) May ye 25th, anno
Domini 1711." It is a petition of 262 of the "Inhabitants of ye County of
Salem." One item in the document asks that the taxes be allowed to be
paid in wheat, "Silver money being Extreamly Scarse." and the other is
for a grant of a new choice for Representatives for the County. The
signatures:
This item is printed in the First Series, Volme IV. of New Jersey
Archives, and the writer saw it also in a volume (1711) of Calendar of (
British) State Papers, Colonial, America & West Indies. There can be
very little doubt that this is the same man we are dealing with, the son
of Valentine and the father of Rev. Stephen.
Three years later Catherine was presenting a letter to the New
Castle Co., Del. Baptist Meeting, from the Philadelphia Meeting. (We do
not know if minutes for the latter are preserved.) After the death of
John Hollingsworth at the age of 38 the widow and small children seem to
have remained in the vicinity. See REGISTER, Vol. 2 No. 1, page 6 for
mention of the Administration of John's estate by the widow and brother
(Samuel Hollingsworth) in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The case was
opened in Sept., 1722 and extended to 1724. After his death Catherine
almost immediately went back to the Philadelphia Meeting of Baptists.
Her son Stephen, (almost without doubt the oldest child) followed her in
1727. Then what became of the family until they landed in North Carolina
on Cape Fear River?
Two deeds answer this question. They are on file in the Record
books at the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland.
(1)"Indenture made the 27 ffebruary 1730, Between CATHERINE
HOLLANDSWORTH of Baltimore County in the Province of Maryland Spinster
of one part AND STEPHEN HOLLANDSWORTH of the same Province and County
Gent. of the other part..." Recites that Catherine Hollandsworth took up
a lot under date 1 Aug., 1729, in the Town of Joppa, lot # 29 etc. on
High Street, Joppa, Baltimore County. Recites further that she built
(a dwelling) on this lot in pursuance of an Act of Assembly for erecting
the
pg 16
(2) Indenture dated Nov. 25, 1731, between STEPHEN HOLLINGSWORTH of the Town of Joppa in the County of Baltimore and province of Maryland, Cordwinder and Farmer of the one part and JOHN HIGGINSON of the same place of the other part etc. Recites Catherine Hollingsworth's having taken up Lot. # 29 etc., and its legal bounds, and that she had built "a house" on the lot and then conveyed all to said STEPHEN HOLLINGSWORTH 27 Feb., 1730. Now said Stephen sell said lot for sum of Fifty-seven Pounds, fifteen shillings Current money... Signed by Stephen Hollingsworth, with Richd. Burrough and Nicholas Day, witnesses. Acknowledged in Court by said Stephen hollingsworth on 28 Nov., 1731, Recorded Dec. 18, 1731, in Liber IS No. L, folios 179-181.
Sharf's History of Baltimore City & County, (1884) mintions a deed from "Catherine Hollingsworth, widow, to her son, Valentine Hollingsworth " in the Town of Joppa. The writer found this item and wrote to the Annapolis Archives to obtain a copy, whereupon, he was then advised that no such deed was found! (?) But the above two indentures were located. It is evident Mr. Sharf did not have an hallucination, because we know that Catherine did have a son named Valentine. But we did not want to weary the Clerk at the Archives by our insistances! Maybe, later.
On Sept. 11, 1735 Catherine Edwards & Stephen hollingsworth obtained Grants to lands on North West Branch of Cape Fear River, in Bladen County, North Carolina. (See REGISTER, Vol. 2, No. 4, p, 143.) Thus in the period, 1731-1735, Catherine had re-married a Mr. Edwards, who evidently had died in the same interim, by whom she had a son, Robert Edwards.
The Tax Assessment Roll, year 1763, for Bladen County, North Carolina, lists (among many others):
Hollingsworth, John 1 white poll
" Samuel (with Robert Edwards) 2 wh. polls
" Stephen 1 white poll.
(For the entire list see "North Carolinian," (magazine) Vol II., p. 265.)
The above Samuel was not the son, but a grandson, of
John & Catherine. Samuel the son died in Cravin County, South
Carolina, on Pee Dee River, in the Welsh Tract, in 1753. He
received three Grants for land there:
In the next issue we will deal with this Samuel, his will, and his
offspring.
We refer our researchers to the REGISTER, Sept., 1966, (Vol 2),
pages 110, 111, for an explanation of the catagories employed in
the census enumerations of 1830 and 1840. The only change in 1840
was that no record of "Aliens, foreigners not naturalized" was kept
and unlike 1830, a list of all Revolutionary Soldiers who had
pensions was made. Because neither of these items alters our scheme,
we present our tables exactly as in the September 1966 issue.
