The first record of Edward T. Hollingsworth in America, aside
from the ship's passenger list already cited, is the U.S. Census, 1850
page 485, Eighth Ward:

         "Edward Hollingsworth, 24, Clerk, born Ireland.
         "Henry Kid             18, Clerk, born Ireland."

    These young men were in the dwelling occupied by Richard Smith,
27, telegraph operator, also born Ireland, wife and children, native
Americans. Kidd was Edward's cousin, a brother of his wife-to-be,
Susannah Kidd.  Henry was born about 1833, but his baptism is omitted
from Carnew register. We assume, since Kidd worked in a telegraph office,
that Edward Hollingsworth did also, at that time. His name is not in the
1850 directory, though that of Kidd is. The Hollingsworth family is 
listed in Ward 15, Cincinnati, U.S. Census of 1860, page 76, with wife
Susan, and children Eveline, 5, Clarence 3, and Elizabeth 1, and servant
Ann Moody, 21, Ireland. In 1870 (U.S. Census, page 368) Ward 18 was 
their home area. Children Eva 15, John, 13, George 10, William 8, Lee 6,
Lydia 4, and Louisa 2. Two servants, Mary Leydar, 23, born Hanover, 
Germany, and Minnie Lacky, 19, Ohio. City Directories show: 1870 address
47 York St., 1880: Madisonville Park, east of Woodburn Avenue; 1885:
433 Broadway; 1890: 31 Ingleside Place, and 1900-1903: 807 Hutchins
Avenue. By 1885 his son Edward Lee appears at his father's home address,
and by 1890, his son George W. and 1895, Fred appears. Names of members
of the family continued to appear in City Directories as late as 1943.

    Since Frederick Hollingsworth, (1803-1869) the direct ancestor
of this writer, was born at Ballinakill, and is believed to be the
uncle of our subject, the reader can appreciate the importance of this
individual in the tracking down of the lineage. His granddaughter,
the late Evaline (Evalyssa) Hollingsworth of Lexington, Nebraska, sent
us a fine photograph of Edward T. Hollingsworth. He looks so much
like our "clan" as to be a brother of the writer's grandfather, "Jack"
(John Benjamin) Hollingsworth. (HR Vol. 2, page 87.) We sent a copy to 
our Frederick's grandchild, Gladys H. Smith. She wrote us immediately
to tell of the strong feeling of recognition she had upon looking at
"that steady gaze, and the ears with the delicately articulated lobes."
He indeed was a fine looking man, with more than a usual amount of 
sense, and with more than the usual allottment of Hollingsworth blood
coursing through his veins!

    Here is a list of his children, followed by brief reference table.
