1079. Frederick James Hollingsworth
Frederick's obit says he lived in Carleton Place and lost his life in a fire on the train. The train caught fire on the inside and when the trainmen saw smoke issuing from the car, they stopped the train immediately, and opened the door, to be met by smoke and flames. Mr. Hollingsworth's body was later recovered. He was born in County Wexford, Ireland Dec. 3, 1846 and came to Canada with his parents when an infant. They settle near Athens, where two brothers still reside. He was a Forester and members of that lodge conducted the funeral with Rev. Canon Elliott preaching. (from The Athens Reporter, April 29, 1910.)
Frederick was mentioned in his father's will in 1858 as one of his living sons.
Witnesses to his marriage to Margaret Hyde were, his cousin David John Hollingsworth and Letitia Vanduzen.
Margaret was the step-daughter to Daniel Hollingsworth, half sister of Mary, wife of brother Nicholas.
1089. Thomas Hollingsworth (born out of wedlock)
Arthur Colley was a witness to Thomas's christening and also to the christening of Samuel and Ann Hollingsworth's daughter Mary on 17 Nov 1816, almost a year later. He emigrated to Elizabethtown, Ontario and married Deborah Ann Crafts. Harry Hollingsworth thought John Hollingsworth of Cranacrower who had two other children out of wedlock was Thomas's father. This editor thinks it was John Hollingsworth of Ballinakill, who later married his cousin Susanna Hollingsworth.
******
Not sure if you are interested in this kind of detail in your records, but,
I was just looking at the old Thomas Hollingsworth homestead with Google
Earth, or at least what we thought was the old Hollingsworth homestead. I
also just found that there is a cemetery on that property and a 'Thomas'
Hollingsworth is buried on that property along with his wife. The 'Thomas'
buried on this property is the one noted in your publication at #215 (page
86) with his wife being Deborah Ann Crafts. Either my Thomas has a relative
by the name Thomas buried on his land with his wife, or, and much more
likely, the 'T. Hollingsworth' shown on the land title map is NOT my Thomas
who is buried about 10 miles away. Back to the drawing board to find out
where my Thomas had his land. Did this make sense to you?

She was married by William H. Gunning, Missionary at Lambspond.
. In New Brunswick,Canada,Deborah Crafts married Thomas Hollingsworth and her sister,Elizabeth Crafts,married Joseph Thomas Godkin and which suggests a family relationship between the Godkins,Crafts,Hollingsworths and Tackaberrys and helps to explain why Joseph Thomas Godkin may have gone from Ontario to New Brunswick, where all of his children were born, including a daughter,Eleanor,being a "Hollingsworth" name.
"Deborah" was also a christian name used by the "Hughes" of Ballycanew.
1096. Anna Maria Hollingsworth

Another small slip of paper, torn from a larger piece, bears the embossed seal of a notary for Winona County, Minnesota, on one side, and on the other, in Elizabeth's (Brown) writing, the following:
Mr Edward E. Hollingsworth And Rachel Mcfadden Was Married on January The fifth, 1860, In the (sic: expunged) Olmstid (Olmsted) Co and State (Brown) Hollings- Of Minesota By worth. Mr Height
This is also in the handwriting of Elizabeth. (Courtesy of Barbara Wallace Garrett)Rachel had a hand laundry at Waseca and Mary worked for her. They didn't hit it off too well and it was thought because Mary was a Scot and Rachel a Gael, that was the reason. As years passed they did become staunch friends.
Rachel and Edward were divorced November 12, 1880, Rachel never remarried and was known to have quite a "Scotch-Irish" temper.
Rachel was descended from English Loyalist and Quakers, as well as French Huguenots Protestant refugees.
Deserted Wife's End. Young woman abused and threatened by wretched husban swallows fatal dose of carbolic acid.

491 M iv John Samuel Hollingsworth Dr. was born in 1845 in Lived in Wisconsin. He died in 1917 in He was a Veterinary Surgeon..
That would be J.S. Hollingsworth. However, that is not his given name. My information indicates he had a younger brother, John, that died young and he took his name and added it to his own as a memorial to John.JS's obit:

abt 1887 location race relationAddy (Vandyke) Hollingsworth, Green Bay, Wis. - 1928. MRS. HOLLINGSWORTH VICTIM OF STROKE. WELL KNOWN GREEN BAY WOMAN PASS- ED AWAY WEDNESDAY. Mrs. Addy F. Hollingsworth, widow of the late Dr. J. S. Hollings- worth, passed away at her home, 343 South Roosevelt Street, Wednesday night. Her death was due to a paralytic stroke. She had been confined to her home for the past five years but death came unexpectedly. Mrs. Hollingsworth has lived in Green Bay continuously for 57 years, coming from Iowa. She was born in Brandon, Vermont, 81 years ago*. A charter member of the Women's Relief Corps she is the last of the organizing members of that lodge which was created here in 1882. Surviving her are a son and daughter, Mrs. Olive Wallace and W. R. Hollingsworth both of Green Bay. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Findeisen And Greiser's cbapel with the Reverend Adolph Baldon and the Women's Relief Corps in charge. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery. (Green Bay Press-Gazette, Thu Nov 22, 1928 typed from the hard bound books by staff at Kellogg Pub- lic Library.) *Brandon, Vermont is apparently incorrect. Editor's later research, after receiving this in 1962, showed John Vandyke and family, Addy's folks, lived at other locations, including New York and New Hampshire. The family bible record shows Addy was born Mar 6, 1844 and, hence, was 84 years old. Her parents were John and Hannah (Johnson) Vandyke. Both died within a month of each other in the autumn of 1858. Thus, Addy was orphaned and how she got out to Jasper County, Iowa, in time to meet Sam Hollingsworth is still not known. Her right name was Fid- elia Addy Vandyke, but in later life she changed it around. Samuel was said to have taken his little deceased brother's name (John) and added it to his own as a sort of memorial to him. But as a business- man in Green Bay, the "J.S." sounded more businesslike. He packed a .45 in his medicine wagon! He also used to go aboard "orphan cars" on trains and take a poor, dirty child home and raise it as his own. The late Miss Margaret Olsen of Bellingham, Washington, said that the couple had thus raised or partially raised, at least eleven such children. The two survivors, William and Olive were not their own. All their own children died young without issue.

William was found by Samuel in a railroad car full of orphan waifs, which was passing through Geen Bay. His real name is lost to our records.

William's cause of death was "pulmonary tuberculos" and his illness had extended back over six months.
Elizabeth resided in Newton almost from infancy and is known by most of our people, as one of our brightest and most lovable young ladies. In her bridal robe she was beautiful, fully reflecting the lovely character and pure heart of Lizzie as we have known her so long.
