strong circumstantial evidence, if not proof, of the assumptions we
publish here!

       Henry's mother died in Ireland. The writer found her burial
record in Lurgan book, page 293, as follows:

        "Ann Hollingsworth (wife to Vollantine Hollingsworth) of 
Ballyvickarannell** deceased the first day of the second month ANNO DOM:
1671, and was buried in ye burying place of ye people of god at 
Monreauerty."

**Tbe spelling here is much closer to the true spelling Ballyvickcrannell,
than in the family record on page 203 where it is given as 
Bellevickcrannell which Albert Cook Myers took for "Belleniskcrannell" 
and which was carried on by the late Joseph A. Stewart in his family 
history of 1925.

	This is the first time we have seen where Ann (Ree) Hollingsworth
was buried. "Monreauerty" is now called Moyraverty, about two miles 
northeast of the farm at Ballyvickcrannell. Most of the Friends of Seagoe
Meeting were listed as buried there. (Inquiries will be made!) A 
tombstone would be a rarity, but a possibility which cannot be overlooked.

       In August, 1688, the same month in which he was married, the
lands of Henry's father were sold to Rev. Henry Jenney, Prebend of 
Mullaghbrack Parish (a clergyman of the Church of Ireland) as shown 
in the index to fines and recoveries. Thus Ballyvickcrannell went out 
of the Hollingsworth family. It is our opinion that Henry acted in his 
father's behalf, but Valentine may have returned to Ireland to conduct 
the proceedings. His name, however, does not appear upon the list of 
witnesses to Henry's marriage. (See further, page 27.)

       The predominance of Yorkshire families among the Quakers of Seagoe
Parish, being in close association with the Hollingsworths, may be a 
strong indication that Valentine Hollingsworth's own father, Henry, came
from Yorkshire. In this issue we publish the entries we found in the 
registers of Calverly, Yorkshire.  At Ballyvickcrannell, the only other 
Hearth-tax-payer with Valentine Hollingsworth in 1664, was "William 
Smurfit". Smurfit, Smurfoot, etc., is also a Yorkshire surname, though a
rather unusual one taking a number of forms. 
(See HR Vol. 1, page 102, column 1, lines 28 & 29.)

The sudden interest of your editor in Yorkshire stems from the recent 
discoveries of so many Yorkshire Quakers in Ulster near Valentine 
Hollingsworth, as told in our opening article of 1969. Calverley or 
Calverly, in West Riding of Yorkshire is a parish about five miles 
northwest of the city of Leeds and about twenty-five miles north of 
Mottram-in-Longdendale, Cheshire. The largest family of Hollingworth 
in Yorkshire dwelt here from before the earliest date in the Calverley 
Registers, which is 1574, entries of their baptisms beginning almost 
simultaneously. Though the family of Valentine Hollingsworth seems
