528. John Hollingsworth
John and Elizabeth moved to Macon, Georgia in 1825
274. Daniel Hollingsworth
Daniel inherited Coolookbeg. Believed to be ancestor of the Hollingsworths of Scotch Plains, New Jersey.
Daniel was in Arklow in 1766, He held a plot of ground and a house in the town, paying to Lord Carysfort the landlord. His uncles William and Thomas Hollingsworth were just south of town, at Cronelusk, and like Daniel had been there at least from 1750.
Old Daniel (1730-1811) might be the very same person memorialized and semi-fictionalized in the often told tale of the sailor who ran away with "Lady Spottiswoode". She was disowned by her father and was quite a love story for its time.
Daniel's death is registered in the Parish of Killena, but believed to be buried in the Old Ballycanew Church Yard.
Ellenor Spottiswoode ? Graham? Prestage?
Ellenor SPOTTISWOODE- was born in 1758 in Coolookbeg, Ireland. She died on 18 May 1843. She was buried in Gorey Christ Church Cemetery. She married Daniel HOLLINGSWORTH "Sr"- in 1777.
278. Thomas Hollingsworth
Thomas received the 56 acres of Tomduff from his father who leased them for the lives of Thomas, Willam his brother and Thomas Tackaberry, son of Edward Tackaberry of Kilnew, Kilmuckridge, in 1761. Thomas took possession of this farm, a further lease dated 22 Feb 1770.
On May 23, 1798 the Rebellion broke out in County Wexford. A few days after, Ballycanew village was taken by the rebels under the Guidance of Rev. Michael Murphy, Roman Catholic Priest who had served that village and used his chapel for seditious meetings for years. At the battle of Arklow on 9th June, it is said that his head was taken off by an English cannon ball. The shops, houses and farm properties of most of the Protestants in the parish were looted or destroyed. Some of the more helpless residents were shot or otherwise murdered in a most fiendish manner. Luckily, Thomas Hollingsworth escaped, though it is not known how, exactly, unless he fled to Dublin as did many.
Thomas is buried in the old churchyard of the adjoining parish of Ballycanew and rests there along with his parents, an uncle, and all of his brothers.
Name: Thomas 1740-1822 Where: Ballinakill (Finally Tomduff) Parents: John, Ballinakill (d.1791) 1713-1791 Elizabeth 1715-1781 Married: Alice (Headstone Allis) Oakes (1752-1834) in 1769 Marriage licence Bonds, Diocese of Ossory, Ferns & Leighlin Died: 9 June 1822 Ballycanew ? July 1822 Headstone age 82 years Birth/Bapt: 1740 a/t/a at death Brothers & sisters: See John (d. 1791)
Alice is buried beside her husband, Thomas Hollingsworth in the Ballycanew Churchyard with a great slab marking their resting place about 6 feet by 3 feet and 6 inches thick, bears the following shallow-cut inscription:
Beneath this stone lieth the remains of Thomas Hollingsworth of Tomduff, who departed this life 7 June 1822 aged 82 years. Also his wife Alice (Allis incorrectly on stone), departed this life 18 Jul 1834 at 82 years.
From the book"Houses of Wexford" by Rowe & Scallan(2004) is the following:
"Ballintore,Ferns(the townland of the causeway)
Just over 2Km due E. of Ferns,on small road.
The Rowsom family-famed as traditional pipers-lived in a small thatched house in this site.It is thought they were of Palatine extraction.The first name associated with Ballintore is Samuel,born c 1750,married to Deborah Tackaberry,who made a claim for damages arising from the 1798 Rebellion. Round about 1800 he appears to have built a new house,which passed then through to his son,Thomas,and remained in the family until 1922,when the property was bought by people called Croft."It would seem that this Thomas would be the Thomas Rowsom,of Kilbride Parish, who married Ann Hollingsworth,9 April 1815.
545. Jane Ellenor Hollingsworth
The records show that Abraham and Jane held a lease of Townland in Ballyhaddick of a farm house, offices and buildings. A later rental shows she was "Mrs Jane Parslow, widow of Abraham. Other occupiers were William, Henry, Robert and John Paslow or Parslow.
The Paslows are all descended from a Cromwellian settler named Thomas Parslow or Paslow who obtained a grand in that area of Ferns in the late 1600s.
While also browsing the Tenison A. Groves manuscripts, we came on the back of one page of Groves's notes, which happened to be a sheet with the letterhead of the Grand Orange Lodge in Dublin, Ireland, 1910. (Apparently, Groves was a member.) Lo and behold, the Grand Secretary that year was one BENJAMIN PIELOW. This surname is so rare in Ireland - and anywhere else! - that he has to be a cousin of our Wexford Hollins- worths! John Hollinsworth of Ballinakill, Parish of Ballycanew, Co. Wex- ford (1713-1791) who through son Samuel was (unproved) the father of our immigrant Frederick Hollingsworth (1802-69), was also the father of Ellen- or Hollinsworth who married (licence bond 1762) Thomas PIELOW. The Pielow family at that date resided at Ballinacur, (Ardamine or Liskinfere Parish- es-two townlands same name) Co. Wexford. Benjamin Pielow could be a des- cendant of Ellenor Hollingsworth Pielow, perhaps a great- or great-great- grandson. Newspaper notifications some 20 years ago produced no response. But the Orange-Loyalist tendency seems to prevail mightily in our blood. (God Save the Queen!!)
280. John Hollingsworth Jr. shopkeeper
A deed made after John's death dated December 4, 1792, Number 300286, which settles property on John Hollingsworth Jr., Ballycanew, shopkeeper, as his father's executor, as due from debts, is witnessed by Thomas Pielow, John Robinson, Dublin, William Hollingsworth, Cranacrower and Nicholas Hollingsworth, County Wexford farmer.
The last record of John before burial is to be found in the state papers. He filed two petitions for losses due to the ravages of the Rebellion. The first filed 8 Oct 1798, claimed losses of provisions, household and shop goods to the amount of 83:3:9d. The second filed 9 Nov of the same year for losses of car (cart or wagon), furniture and apparel, being nine pages long.
Descendants say that he served in the War of 1812 and was killed or died in service in 1812. This is still to be proven.
John was shopkeeper and the second son of John and Elizabeth Hollingsworth of Ballinakill. He was raised at Ballinakill and probably educated by private tutors, the usual method of the wealthy Protestant farmers of the time, and was quite educated for his time.
The abode of his widow, Elizabeth, given in the entry of her burial was Bracana (Bracanagh) which was next to Cranacrower. She possibly went to dwell with her brother-in-law William Hollingsworth, who lived at Cranacrower.
After her husband John died she went to live with her brother-in-law William in Cranacrower and had lease holds in Bracanagh.
Elizabeth's uncle John Hunter Gowan of Gorey, he was the infamous Hero (Irish people murderer) who saved Gorey from the Terror. Gowan lived out his life in peace and died in his 90s. His son Ogle R. Gowan imigrated to Canada and founded the Loyal Orange Lodge of British North America.
Probably died young, the next child was also called Elizabeth two years later.
Elizabeth was believed never married. She may be the same Elizabeth buried at Gorey in 1853, "age 67".
281. Martha Hollingsworth Named after Martha Colley
William Robinson married, by licence, 1770, Martha of Ballinakill.
Martha Hollingsworth,daughter to John Hollingsworth and Elizabeth Tackaberry,married William Robinson 1770.
Also,these pew allocations suggest that Samuel Hollingsworth also married into the "Tackaberrys" being a sister of John Tackaberry, whose Will was proved1752, and who died around that date.
William had a lease for land in Townland of Ballinclery, Parish of Ballycanew, dated 4th June 1792 for three lives aged about 61, 50 and 50 years. This farm had been leased to his father Richard Robinson, by Richard Earl of Anglesey, being 69 1/2 acres on 11 Oct 1738. Also named was his mother Elizabeth and Hugh Bolger (Bulger) Jr. son of Hugh Bolger of Ballinclery. The lease consisted of a Farm House, Offices, Out buildings, gardens and land.
In Dec 1792 he acted as a witness in a transaction on the estate administration of his father in law John Hollingsworth, lately then deceased.
William Hollingsworth became heir to a full third of the "lands of Clonard or Great Fowkestown, County Dublin", by right of his wife, from his father-in-law, John Jones, who was possibly murdered in the Rebellion of 1798. He divided it upon the his three daughters, Martha, Susanna and Jane.
William was of Brackernagh and Cranacrower, Ballycanew and a gentleman farmer.
Between 1799-1824 William is listed in the Vestry Minutes along with his brother and cousins. On 11 Jan 1819 at a Vestry meeting John Hollingsworth was given a pew on North side of the altar, William and Nicholas Hollingsworth received pews on South side of the altar, John Hollingsworth and Nicholas Hollingsworth were present.
The document made in Ireland was a Marriage Settlement between two men named Hollingsworth. It is recorded at Volume 782 of Deeds, page 33, and bears the Registration Number 529168. The main parties (who unfortunately are not identified as to their relationship to the Principal Witness, Fredk. Hollingsworth) were "William Hollingsworth of Bracanna... & John Hollingsworth the Elder of Cranacrower...in the County of Wexford." Both these places are Townlands in the aforesaid Parish of Ballycanew. These men were completing marriage articles involving the settlement of "the lands of Clonard, in the County Dublin," by William Hollingsworth the Younger, of Ballinakill..." John Hollingsworth had married William's daughter, Susannah Hollingsworth, undoubtedlly a 1st or 2nd cousin, at Ballycanew Protestant Church in 1819. In the same year, William's son John had married John's daughter Esther, in the same church. But we found no marriage settlement in this case, John the Elder not having been blessed with the possession of fruitful lands. William Hollingsworth of Bracanna settled part of these same lands upon the families of two of his other daughters - Martha, who married George Kidd, and Jane, who married Richard Gainfort. (Incidentally, the Kidds subsequently emigrated to Cincinnati, Ohio, along with Susannah's son Edward Thomas Hollingsworth, who worked in the Pay Office of the "Enquirer" for fifty years!) While it is assured that our Frederick Hollingsworth was some relation to all these people, the deed doesn't show it.
287. Nicholas Henry James Hollingsworth to Link Donald Page
In Hollingsworth Register articles in Vol 4, pp.87-89 and 5 pp 156-161, this writer (Harry Hollingsworth) asserted that Nicholas Hollingsworth of Ballycanew townland, farmer, was possibly the son of John Hollingsworth of Ballinakill (1713-1791). John's will did not name a son Nicholas, but did mention a "nephew Hollingsworth". Further investigation - still without proof - indicates Nicholas was son of Samuel Hollingsworth of Coolookbeg, brother of John in the Arklow Family. The fact that he and his brother Abraham were not mentioned in the will could have been an error and accidentally omitted by a genealogist Sir William Betham when he made abstracts of about 37,000 Irish Prerogative Wills that were destroyed in 1922.
Nicholas was possessor of a lease on a 53 acre farm on the townland of Ballycanew. This townland lies in about the north east part of the Civil Parish of the same name. The village of Ballycanew is seated upon the south eastern edge of the townland. The farm was the largest singly leased piece of ground in the townland and consisted of a farm house, offices, out-buildings, garden and land. This particular land was bought and sold to Andrew Thunder, was again sold in the incumbered Estates Court in 1857. This farm at that time in the occupation of William Maguire, on lease 10 August 1844, from Andrew Thunder to Maguire, for the life of Thomas Hollingsworth aged about 40, still living in 1857, who is the said son of Nicholas Hollingsworth.
Nicholas served in the Camolin Yeomanry Cavalry during the 1798 Rebellion, but was discharged later for neglect of duty. (Ed. TJH) I like to think the "neglect of duty" was based on the fact he would not do the horrible things to his fellow man that was being done at the time by both sides of the Rebellion. Also discharged at the same time as Nicholas were two good friends and most likely relatives, Benjamin and John Tackaberry.
17 April 1786 Nicholas Hollingsworth and his brother John Hollingsworth attended the vestry meeting and voted to appoint two members as Church Wardens for the present year.
15 May 1786 Nicholas Hollingsworth signed the minute as Church Warden at the vestry.

Signed by John Hollingsworthin a letter from James Easton Godkin to Harry Hollingsworth(25 May 1968);
"I believe you said the Wheeler and Broadley quotation about the Camolin Yeomanry would be of interest to you.Here it is(The War in Wexford.p.290):
Every non commissioned Officer to see that those men under his immediate command come to Parade clean and fully accoutred,under the penalty of two days pay and which shall be stopped from the Private,in case it appears that such Private refused to comply with such orders from his superior.
Ordered by Command of General Taylor,that Nicholas Hollingsworth and Benjamin Tackaberry and Robert Lee be dismissed from the Camolin Cavalry for Neglect of Duty,and that they be required to deliver up all their appointments under the Penalty of ten pounds,pursuant to the Yeomanry Act. - Mt, Norris,Captain of the Camolin Legion,May 1st,1799 ,Headquarters,Camolin."
Mary was still living on the farm in 1833, seven years after Nicholas's death. Mary's maiden name has not been proven and Harry Hollingsworth believed it could have been "Jones" or "Tackaberry", and not Rathwell. or Rothwell.
564. John Hollingsworth
John was alive 30 Sept 1782. Died in 1802 at the age of twenty.
Believed to be the same person that served 1821-1834 in Ballaghkeen yeomanry Infantry under Captain Robert Doyne.
Married by Hawtrey White Browne witnessed by John Godkin and a unk Johnston.
288. Samuel Hollingsworth Link toTom & Michael ggg grandfather
Based on Claire Hollingsworth's of Edmonton, Canada personal observation and notes taken at the Ballycanew Churchyard, the following information is on a 6 x4 grave stone.
John Hollingsworth d. 1791
wife Elizabeth d. 1781 (nee Tackaberry)Son Samuel d. 1815
wife Anne d. 1 Apr 1849I believe at this point in time that John d. 1791 and Elizabeth d. 1781 are my gggg grandparents.
And Samuel and Anne my ggg grandparents.June 8, 2004: I believe that Samuel Hollingsworth, born about 1767 Ballinakill, County Wexford, Ireland is my great great great grandfather. (Samuel was also Harry Hollingsworth's ( author of the Hollingsworth Register) great, great, great grandfather.) My great great grandfather Sgt James Nicholas Hollingsworth named his first son Samuel and first daughter Elizabeth after his father and his wife Anne's mother Elizabeth and his grandmother Elizabeth Tackaberry. And by the same token I feel Samuel's father was named John, no proof at this time, but based on the fact he named his first son John and on bits and pieces this fits. Tom Hollingsworth
Hi Tom,
I did as you requested and checked the records again today. I am afraid that there is no entry for James Hollingsworth- the only entry in that time frame is for a Susanna Hollingsworth born on February 1st 1810 to Samuel and Ann Hollingsworth of Ballinakill.Many families moved around the area at that time as the 1798 rising was only 12 years previously and things were still volatile here for some years. Some families had also lost their homes and compensation was slow in coming from the Crown. I will check my 3 other parishes when time permits to see if James was baptized in one of them.

Meanwhile, I understand the difficulty sending a check or even converting the money here and sending it. I had that problem when figuring out how to send money to Dr. Hood in Dublin, I ended up sending cash.
I will be sending you some US dollars the first of the week. Thanks again for your past and future help. Best Regards, Tom Hollingsworth

The Name of the Townland or Half Townland and Parish in which such Lands lie: Parish of Ballicanew, Townland of Ballicanew, Barony of Gorey.Samuel Hollingsworth supposedly lost his leg in the Irish Rebellion 1789 according to family tradition handed down. When the danger of rebellion arose in Ireland, the entire establishment was in fear of uprising by the Catholics. The Militia and the British Regular Army existed, but seeing that wasn't enough protection so the farmers formed the "Yeomanry", a militia of yeomen farmers. This was formed under the Earl of Mountnorris, he was the landlord of the Hollingsworths, the same man known as Arthur Lord Viscount Valentia, which was another of his several titles.
Samuel's father John Hollingsworth when he died bequeathed his farm to his youngest son, my ggg grandfather. Samuel died and evidently left no will, whereby the above lot went in two equal moieties (halves) to his widow Anne and his eldest son John, who was the "representative" of the estate. The 1833 Tithe Books give this lot as to "Mrs." and John,with 40-1-34 acres plantation measure each, exactly half.
Samuel Hollingsworth of Ballinakill was probably the father of my
Frederick Hollingsworth, my "English-Irish Immigrant!" Is not that
sufficient grounds? The next article will explain the matter in greater
detail. It will also explain who Mrs. Allen means when she says that
her grandmother's brother went to America. He was, of course - and no
possibility of mistake here - Edward Thomas Hollingsworth of Cincinnati,
Ohio. I knew this from the first moment I read her first letter. Soon
she replied, verifying the information. She remembered her father's
sisters, Lena, Lucy and Mrs Evalyn Tudor, going on a world trip before
the Great War (1914-1918) and she remembered that they visited Ireland,
bringing back souvenirs which she still owns.Parish Church of Ballycanew, January 1, 1760, Vestry Book for the Union of Ballycanew, That the seat next to Roger Woodroofe, John Hollingsworth and Richard Robinson shall belong to James Redmond, Samuel Hollingsworth , Benjamin Thackaberryh, Fossey Thackaberry and their successors.

June 1, 1798
A body of more than one thousand insurgents, in advancing towards Gorey, on the 1s of June 1798 had taken possession of a small village called Ballycanew, four miles to the south of Gorey....This victorious band, on their return from Gorey fired most of the houses at Ballycanew and entered the town in triumph, with 100 horses and other spoil they had taken.
Not just the private houses were set afire, the horde of rabble also entered the church and brought forth the registry and vestry minute books dating back, perhaps to the late 1600s, which they set on fire deliberately, calling them 'Heretick Books'. Rev Arthur Colley, with his vestrymen, on their return later began the new register with the solemn certificate that the older registers had been taken away or destroyed in the late Rebellion. (from Harry Hollingsworth's HR)
The Hollingsworths had farms just across the fields in several directions from the village and John Hollingsworth, son of John, had a shop in the village of Ballycanew. They had all left the area before the insurgents got there the first time, some of them including Nicholas Hollingsworth joined their yeomanry units to fight as a member of the Camolin Yeomanry Cavalry under Lord Mount Norris9 The Earl of Anglesey, Viscount Valentia.
Our Samuel Hollingsworth, Nicholas's brother is said to have had his leg shot off during that summer. Nicholas was a member of Lord Mountnorris's yeomanry, the Camolin Cavalry, he was later discharged for neglect of juty in 1799. (from HR)

THERE IS NO ACTUAL PROOF OF ANY HOLLINGSWORTHS BEING MURDERED DURING THE DAY OF TERROR OR AFTERWARDS. APPEARS WE WERE SMART ENOUGH TO GET THE HECK OUT OF THE AREA BEFORE THE INSURGENTS ARRIVED. MANY OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS BY MARRIAGE WERE NOT AS LUCKY.
According to the last will of "Edward Earl", Anne's father of Knockduff, County Wexford written and proved in 1795, his son-in-law Samuel Hollingsworth had two children named Jane and Edward Earl alive at that time, to whom the testator gave bequests.
575. Edward Earl Hollingsworth
Edward appears in the Dublin Directory in the period of the 1820s, and his address was 2 St. Michael's Hill, and his business, that of a paper manufacturer.
It is believed that Edward was a first cousin of John Robinson, who was quite wealthy, and strongly appears that Edward was an apprentice to the paper trade, which would explain his presence in Dublin as a young fellow.
What makes us (Harry Hollingsworth Ed. of the HR) so sure now, that this Edward was probably the Edward of the 1795 will - and therefore - the brother of Frederick Hollingsworth, is this. John Robinson of Usher's Quay, Dublin, Paper and Wine Merchant, was the oldest son of William Robinson of Ballycanew, farmer and of Martha Hollingsworth his wife, married in 1770, she a daughter of John and Elizabeth of Ballinakill, and hence a sister to Samuel Hollingsworth.
Edward appears to have died without having any children or "issue" as it is known in these matters.
Edward Hollingsworth of Dublin, Ireland
The late beloved Irishman, Basil Morgan O'Connell, by his letter to your editor (30 July 1969) stated that at last he had run through his Dublin directories and found that one Edward Hollingsworth, paper manufacturer moved into 2, St. Michael's Hill, and appeared in directories for 1826-27-28. He fades out and re-appears in Wine Tavern St. (nearby) from 1832 through 1835, when A. Hollingsworth appears, and 1837 shows Alice or Alicia. No entry 1838 or after. O'Connell's exhaustive search covered 1752 through 1850! Edward was the brother, probably (never proved) of our Frederick. Edward has the distinction of being the only male Hollingsworth ever to appear in the Dublin directories for well over a century. Alicia was his widow. Thanks, Dear BMOC!
After Edward's death in 1834, Alice married Robert Richardson of Bushfield Avenue, Dublin and he died 28 March 1842. Alice was then in Summerville County Dublin, and this is the last record of any mention of her.

Nicholas Hollingsworth and Hannah Tackaberry were most likely relatives of (James of Ballycanew) and as Harry Hollingsworth surmises were visiting relatives in Ireland. It appears that Nicholas went back to Ireland to visit his family, probably for one last time. His ticket was two way, New York to New York, in 2 cabin passenger, #5, Ship "Star of the West". He could have also brought Hannah Tackaberry to America with him since her family was also settled in Madison County, New York.
