The Doctor here thought that I had gall stones and he did me no good so I went to Brooklyn and I am now under a specialist and has done me some good and I am feeling a great deal better. This doctor was getting me ready to go under a operation in Philadelphia but instead I went to Brooklyn and he said I did not have gall stones.I need not tell you any further as I have no doubt that your sister Maggie has told you everything. I have been very sick. But I think I am getting better. I was two weeks at your sister Mary's and they did all they could for me. My Dear Lucille I have thought of you so much during my sickness and I hope and pray that you are doing the very best for yourself.

Thos N HollingsworthWhen Thomas first came to America he must have worked various jobs before finding a position in his trade, glass blowing. On his son Thomas N. Jr. birth certificate his job is listed as "PICTURE-FRAMER". Anne's maiden name is not listed, so we still don't know if her maiden name was Lavin or Laving....
Passenger lists of Vessels arriving in the Port of Boston, Massachusetts, Lists of the ship "Malta", arrived 7 Nov 1869 listing Ann Hollingsworth, age 25 Matron, born England, and son Samuel W. Infant. This was the wife of Thomas Nicholas Hollingsworth that came to the port of New York the year previously.

1759. Margaret (Maggie) Ann Hollingsworth
On March 18, 1955 Margaret Hollingsworth Waltman purchased two different grave plots at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. One plot was Lot #298 South End, Section O, which is oddly enough the same plat that her brother James Frederick Hollingsworth purchased in 1937. She also purchase Lots 74, 75 & 76 in Section E. I was told by the super of Mt Pleasant on Sept 22, 2004 that the big Waltman stone is in Section N. Not sure if he was correct with that or if the big stone is where Margaret purchased the three graves in Section N. I have the deeds to these lots and also to the lots purchase by James Frederick in 1937. Tom Hollingsworth
1760. James Frederick Hollingsworth
On April 6, 1937 James purchased a grave plot at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Lot #298, South End, Section O, Eight by nine feet wide. (8X9) On Sept 22, 2004 I was told by the superintendent Mr. James Reeves that there is still room in the plot for a stone and cremated remains if the family wanted to use it. Quite possible there are other spots available too.
1140. John Hollingsworth
Quote from a letter to Harry Hollingsworth author of the Hollingsworth Register. "I had another letter on Aug 12, 1966 from Mrs . Mary Hollingsworth of 3536 - 103 street, Corona, New York, wife of Frederick Hollingsworth. Her husband's father John came to Penna or got there eventually and later worked for Tiffany's in New York, as "no one else could colour that glass like he could".
From HR March 1969;Volume Five, Number One P41
Death Certificate of JOHN HOLLINGSWORTH, male, white, married, who died on May 2, 1923 at 193 46th Street, Corona, Borough of Queens, New York, age 72. Buried in St. Johns Cemetery May 5, 1923. He died of pulmonary tuberculosis. His occupation a Glassblower, his father's full name: (James by Ed.) Nicholas Hollingsworth (born Ireland)
We now know that James (John's father) was not born in England, but in Ballycanew, Ireland, this fact was given when he enlisted in the Army. ); his mother was Mary Murphy, born Ireland. John's own birthplace was England and he resided in U.S.A. and in New York 45 years.
Why was James's name given as "Nicholas" on his son's John's death notice in the paper? Was James's first name really Nicholas???? Was he Nicholas James Hollingswoth????
