183. Isaac Hollingsworth
The largest grave marker in the Hollingsworth - Parkins graveyard is that of Isaac Hollingsworth. However this is not the Isaac who was the son of Abraham. This Isaac was a cousin and is several generations later. This Isaac was the son of Zebidae Hollingsworth and Lydia Allen. He was born in 1771 and died in 1842. He married Hannah Parkins who is also buried there. Some of the other family names of those buried in the graveyard are Lytle, Brown, Smith, Richards, Neill and Gilkison. A listing of all the graves taken from a graveyard census in 1931 exists at the Handley Archives.
Another prominent Quaker family during this era was the Parkins family. Isaac Parkins acquired 1,425 acres in three tracts in 1735. One tract of 725 acres included the graveyard location and the location of the Parkins family home, which was west of the graveyard on what is now Valley Avenue on the southwest corner of Jubal Early Drive and Valley Avenue. This large brick house (no longer standing) was called "Milltown" and later "Willow Lawn."

208. Joseph Hollingsworth Jr. 1st wife unk
Joseph was disowned from Hopewell Quaker Meeting, dated Feb 7, 1763. Another minute of Hopewell dated Oct 5, 1767, states "Joseph Hollingsworth, condemned for marrying out of unity, with recommendations from his neighbours in Carolina." This would explain why Lydia Comer was disowned for marrying the Joseph Jr, because he was already "out of union" with Friends.
