663. John Hollingsworth
John worked in the famous Connary Mines with his father-in-law George Tuke. The Tukes descend from a Cromwellian soldier and are in two branches, one in Castlemacadam and the other at Drakestown in County Meath. He also had a horse that he used to work the fields with to make money.
The minister of Susan's wedding was Francis Alen Saunders, witnesses Michael Byrne and George "x" Tuke. John signed by "x" mark too. Susan Tuke was born probably before 1837, but there is no record of her death.
Erected by Elizabeth Cosgrove In Lovng memory of her father and mother John Hollingsworth of Poulaphuca Who died 4th April 1901 aged 74 and Susan his wife who died 7th June 1904 aged 65 Also their sons John who died 19th Dec 1900 aged 38 and George who died 25th March 1902 aged 34
669. Edward Hollingsworth
Pollaphuca took its name from the extremely beautiful waterfall and rock grotto named "Poulaphuca", the townland is sometimes spelled the same, near the Vale of Avoca, a part of the river of that name.
980. Elizabeth "Bessie" Hollingsworth
Elizabeth and her husband Alex had a son and a daughter, unknown names at this time.
670. Daniel Hollingsworth
Daniel and Anne Byrne had seven children 3 girls, Elizabeth Marie, Anne Marie, and Catherine, also 4 boys, Francis, John, William and a second Francis.
Anne was a Roman Catholic, the baptism of their first child Elizabeth Marie was in the Catholic Parish Church at Avoca. Daniel was a Protestant, and his daughter's baptism was "conditional". Daniel allowed his children to be baptised and brought up in their mother's religion. A very large family is now inhabiting Dublin and Liverpool, descended from this union, which was a happy one.
On the 1881 census, James list his occupation as "Carpenter"
Ellenor (Ellen) Hollingsworth Neil left to her niece "Katie" Warren, her sister Mary Ann's daughter a "cupboard, etc." Don't know what the "etc" was, too bad she didn't itemize the things.
David was the Escott postmaster and storekeeper. He also was a first cousin once removed of Alice McAvoy, by way of her mother Elizabeth Hollingsworth.
676. Daniel Hollingsworth
Daniel was a farmer and practiced the Church of England religion, while his wife and daughter were Methodist, no doubt a carry over from Cora's family.
A family story written to Harry Hollingsworth by a Mrs. Gray goes this way. I have a story that my grandfather, John and his brother Danile came over from Traverse City, Michigan, by horse to Plum Hollow, to buy more horses, and stopped off at the "Witch of Plum Hollow", a fortune teller, and had their cups read. She told them of a death in their family which concerned the both of them. They returned home to Michigan where they learned that their father, Samuel had taken ill with a hernia attack. His own good doctor couldn't be located, and so he died within three or four days.
Cora was of English decent and was a Methodist. Her daughter Addie obviously went to church with her mother and was also a Methodist as reported on the 1881 census.
1005. Addie Hollingsworth
Addie's parent put on the 1881 that she was Irish decent, probably told to the census taker by her father, because her mother was of English decent, which made Addie a combination of English/Irish.
1006. George Hollingsworth
Not much is known about George other than he lived at one time in Colborne, Ontario.
677. William (John) Hollingsworth
William was known as "Western Jack" and "Gentleman John".
1007. Alice Hollingsworth
Ellenor "Ellen" Hollingsworth Neil in her Will left all the money left after giving what she had bequeathed to the various family members. These ladies were named in the Will as Alice, Hatta and Netta. Not known at this time how much money that would have been.
1008. Edward Joseph Hollingsworth
Ellenor "Ellen" Hollingsworth Neil left to her nephew Edward a town lot, 1 acre #22 in the snd concession of Escott, when he attains age 21.
On the 1881 Lucy Alberta Hodge listed her nationality as English, and all of her children are listed as English. Father William John Hollingsworth was Irish, curious why the children were listed as English. They were all members of the Church of England, like the Church of Ireland, a protestant religion.
Catherine Hollingsworth /Cain Samuel's daughter with first wife Ellen died about 1878 in Fife Lake MI which is just south of Traverse City in Grand Traverse County, Fife Lake Township.
Catherine Hollingsworth and John Cain came to Grand Traverse about 1869/70. Catherine would still have lived in Canada when her father Samuel died in Traverse City.
John Cain married Catherine Hollingsworth (1842) daughter of Samuel (1803) and Ellenor (1809), (Hempenstall) Hollingsworth of Leeds Co., Yonge Twp., formerly of Co. Wicklow and Co. Wexford respectively.John and Catherine were married on May 02, 1861 in Leeds Co., Canada West. They had a son born to them his name was Fred (Frederick) John Cain about 1864 in Canada West. He would be the only son from this marriage as he had four sisters who followed. Shortly after Fred was born it appears that they moved to Wisconsin for a while probably to join Amos and Charles Cain, John's brothers who had moved there in the mid 1800's.
Sometime between 1878 and 1880 census Catherine Hollingsworth Cain must have died. It may have been a result of Fanny's birth. Fanny shows up as a two years old and no mother in the 1880 census.I have found no varification of her death in Grand Traverse though. Sometimes I wonder if she ran off or something like her father. When her daughters married they put their father's name on the marriage licence and under mother they put unknown. Perhaps their stepmother did not appreciate them knowing about their mother. I hope to find out more someday. (Catherine Murdoch)
My grandmother's name was Catherine Andrews and her grandmother was Catherine Hollingsworth and Her grandmother was Catherine Hempenstall. I was named after my grandmother so the name is skipping every second generation. (Catherine Murdoch)

679. Samuel Hollingsworth
Samuels gravestone says "Samuel Hollingsworth died Oct 12, 1879 aged 35 years 2 mo., 12 days" I have also have Samuel's birth date as July 31, 1844 * **Would have died just before 1881 Census
The other Samuel is still one of Samuel and Ellenor's sons it is not a question to me that he is their son. He is the Samuel buried beside his mother Ellenor. in Mallorytown. In my data base I have him married to Margaret Colwell. In your data base he is unmarried. (This has been changed, Editor I am not sure which is right.)
Also Daniel is a son of Samuel and Ellenor it is really just his birth date that is unknown like you say he probably is the second son. John as the first son would be named after his grandfather John. (Catherine Murdoch)
Harry Hollingsworth's research has Samuel marrying Emily Jane Dowsley, granddaughter of Joseph Lamphire Dowsley. Not sure if Catherine Murdoch's information is more accurate at this time, but I go with Catherine's.
Both of Margaret's sons Buell and Demar died a month apart during an epidemic of diphtheria. Not known at this time if Margaret remarried after her husband's and son's death.
682. Edward Edwin Hollingsworth
Harry Hollingsworth's research says that Edward was married three times, first to Fredericka Schilickenmeier, second to Sarah A (maiden unk), and third to Justiene (maiden unk) He had one child, a son by his first wife.
1022. John H.D. Hollingsworth
Edward stood 6'2" tall and weighed 190 lbs, he had two wives Sophonie and Margaret, no children with either wife. Edward is buried near his grandfather in Oakwood Cemetery.
683. Thomas Hollingsworth
He wrote his half-brother John in 1904 asking about an estate which was being processed in Ireland, and wondered if they were related to an Annie Gainford, Charlotte James, or Lizzie Gorman. The first two are children of John Hollingsworth, Cranacrower. Apparently a notice appeared in a Chicago paper in 1904.
Thomas was a licensed engineer.
