Descendants of Henry Hollingsworth (born 1598), father of Valentine
Sr.
and the County Wexford - Wicklow families. Failte!
A Bit of Irish Quaker
History
Some researchers think Henry was born in
Ireland,
England, or even
Scotland. Henry was
listed in an English militia (as Hen Hollinworth) and could have gone
as a member of the Ulster Plantation
& Ulster-Scots to Ireland.
This activity was arranged by the CROWN and the
"undertakers" or landed gentry between 1609 - 1630 for the
sole purpose of taking (stealing) the land from the Irish
using any means such as murder and starvation. Henry is listed in
the 1630 muster roll for Onealland Barony, Ulster Plantation in County
Armagh.
Another fact in question is the maiden name of Henry's wife
Kathryn, was she a Cornish or a
Blacker? This editor
believes she was a Blacker, due to the close relationship between the
two families, this fact still to be proven either way, and might never
be known for sure.
Here is a second opinion:
"There is some
speculation that Kathryn wife of Henry was a "Blacker" and
that Valentine was named after her father Valentine Blacker. I
wonder if Valentine escaped with the "Blackers" and Henry and
Kathryn died during the rebellion.....just a thought. Maybe you
will find some answers in Co. Wexford!" (John...of
Giles...Valentine)
 
John Hollingsworth ..John..of
Giles...Valentine, has my sincere thanks and gratitude for
finding Valentine's true official seal on his
2005 trip to Belfast PRNOI. At this point our
American cousins appear to not recogize the significants of this great
discovery.
In Ireland the Stag
was one of the most ancient of charges and was regarded as the most
handsome. The Stag represents the very ancestors of the Celtic
race.
(Updated: July 8, 2007).........My DNA matches the family linked to
Henry and my ancestor was most likely a brother to Valentine Sr.
Many years ago when I was first contacted by Harry Hollingsworth
(Hollingsworth Register) I believed my family was from England based on
the fact that Sgt James Nicholas
Hollingsworth (Born 1811) claimed he was from Winwick and
Warwick on two separate census. Recently it was found on his army
enlistment papers he was from Ballycanew,
Ireland. There are two men
believed to be brothers, the birth dates are close and the names used
in the family are the same, DNA has proven the two families are
related and both lived in Ballycanew, County Wexford.
Samuel born 1767 and Nicholas born
1762
The DNA match was made with Donald Page Hollingsworth in
Edmonton, Alberta and Thomas James
Hollingsworth, this links our two families, both having roots in
Ballycanew, County
Wexford. I know by family tradition Sgt. James Hollingsworth's
father was named Samuel because
his first son was Samuel, his second son was named John after his
grandfather, again tradition of the older families.
Samuel's
brother was Nicholas born 1762
and is the proven connection to our Canadian cousins. Both
Samuel born 1767 and
Nicholas born 1762 named their first son John after their
father, more proof of their relationship.

New Wexford DNA Test Upgrade
Results: April 3, 2007 (by John of Giles....of Valentine)
Don Hollingsworth descendant of Nicholas Hollingsworth, b. 1762
Ballinakill, County Wexford, d. 1826, Ballycanew, County Wexford,
Ireland received his 67 marker test upgrade results and matched
........
Thomas James Hollingsworth of James (b. 1811) of Ballycanew,
County Wexford, Ireland who also received the results of his 67
marker test upgrade. Thomas and Don matched 37/37
and 66/67 markers. Thomas matched our Valentine lineage
ancestral signature 35/37 and 64/67 markers.
We believe James (b.1811) and Nicholas (b. 1762) are
descendants of an unidentified brother, uncle or cousin of
Valentine, Sr. that did not migrate to America with Valentine or
possibly migrated from England later. (After going to
England to escape the rebellion during the middle to late 1600s.)
There appears to be a recognizable difference between these Co. Wexford
Hollingsworth descendants and the Co. Armagh Hollingsworth
descendants since Don and Thomas seem to share three possible
unique marker mutations when compared to the Valentine Hollingsworth,
Sr. lineage apparent ancestral signature.
Compared to the "Apparent Ancestral Signature of Valentine
Sr." (Tom: 25/25
35/37 64/67)
(Don: 25/25
35/37 63/67)
