29. Zebulon Hollingsworth (Henry , Vallentine , Henry ) was born in 1697 in Ballyvickcrannell, Seagoe, Armagh, Ireland. He died on 8 Aug 1763 in Cecil County, Maryland.

Zebulon Hollingsworth, President of the Court of Cecil County, formed in Provincial times of nine Magistrates of the County commissioned by the Governor for that purpose resided on his paternal estate.

Zebulon at age of 43, in 1740 Testified in the Boundary Dispute case that his "father sometimes followed the business of blacksmith, sometimes building houses and at other times surveying lands in both Provinces of Maryland and Pennsylvania."

Converted from Quaker to Episcopalian.

Several sources, the vestry minutes of St. Mary Anne's, land records, and his personal will, indicate that Zebulon Hollingsworth, Sr. was a Captain, presumably of the local militia. The Colonial Wars took place during his lifetime, however, no records exist confirming or denying his participation.

1740 Captain Zebulon Hollingsworth, along with several other officers, command a group of foot militia in Cecil County.
1750 About this time Zebulon Hollingsworth construct a two story brick Federal-style house approximately 30-feet square at Elk Landing.

1848 The original brick two story house constructed by Zebulon Hollingsworth is gutted by fire. It is rebuilt as a Greek Revival style three story structure with a low pitched roof. Also a right side two story addition is added and the entire structure is covered with stucco. This the essentially the house you see today.

Zebulon married (1) Ann Mauldon daughter of Francis Mauldon and Bridget Belaine on 18 Apr 1727 in Cecil County, Maryland. Ann was born in 1700 in Cecil County, Maryland. She died on 13 Nov 1740 in Elkton Cemetery, Howard Street, Elkton, Md..

They had the following children:

	79	F	i	Elizabeth Hollingsworth was born on 6 Feb 1727/1728 in Cecil County, Maryland.
	80	M	ii	Stephen Hollingsworth was born on 13 Mar 1730. He died on 8 Nov 1740 in Elkton Cemetery, Howard Street, Elkton, Md.. The milling industry was an important economic facet for the time: the Hollingsworths owned mills at least as early as 1721, around the time the first Henry Hollingsworth migrated to Cecil County. In an indenture dated June 16th of that year, Henry and Lydia Hollingsworth conveyed onto their son Stephen Hollingsworth half of their mill located on the west branch of the Elk River, referred to as the Hollingsworth Mill. The Stephen Hollingsworth mentioned must have been brother to Zebulon Hollingsworth, Sr.; in fact, Zebulon Hollingsworth signed the indenture as a witness.
	81	M	iii	Jesse Hollingsworth was born on 12 Mar 1731/1732. "With great respect and esteem, have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, Alexander Hamilton. "His Excellency Thomas Sim Lee, Governor of Maryland." Before the departure of the troops from Baltimore to suppress the "Whiskey Insurrection," the yellow fever made its appearance in the town, and Messrs. Gustavus Scott, George Salmon, Jos. Townsend, Alexander McKim, Jesse Hollingsworth, Thomas Johnson, and Thomas Dixson were appointed a Committee of Health. There were 344 deaths by the fever and other diseases during the months of August and September. The malady did not cease until the 15th of October. Capt. James Allen, who had conducted his company of riflemen as far as Frederick to protect the State Arsenal from the insurgents, returned an invalid, and with other meritorious citizens fell a victim to the fatal disease. The Commissioners of Health selected a site for the hospital from Capt. Yellot, which was improved and continued to be used as a hospital for strangers and seafaring men until 1808, when it was leased on certain conditions to Doctors Smyth and Mackenzie. It was at this period, and particularly on accouut of the fever, that many citizens fled from the town with their families, where it appears the fever did not reach them, and some of them erected country residences which now ornament the vicinity. An Act was passed on the 20th of January, by the General Assembly, incorporating the Reisterstown Turnpike Company, and authorizing Samuel Smith, Joseph Thornburgh, Jesse Hollingsworth, and Philip Grable, to receive subscriptions to the stock in Baltimore City.

				Levi married Hannah Paschall on 9 Mar 1768. Hannah was born in Levi and Hannah had three children. Marriages were ordered promulgated by affixing the intentions of the parties on the court-house and meeting-house doors, and when the act was solemnized, they were required by law to have at least twelve subscribing witnesses. The wedding entertainments must have been more of a nuisance than a pleasure, either for the parents or the young couple. They were inspired by a conception of unbounded hospitality, very common at that time. Even the Quakers accepted them with good grace until the evil consequences of free drinking on those occasions compelled them to counsel more moderation. There was feasting during the whole day, and for the two following days punch was dealt out ad libitum to all comers. The gentlemen invited to partake of these libations were received by the groom on the first floor; then they ascended to the second floor, where they found the bride surrounded by her bridesmaids, and every one of the said gentlemen, be they one hundred, kissed the bride. There was a quaint custom in those days of turning off marriage notices with some remark complimentary to the bride, as follows: "Mr. Levi Hollingsworth to Miss Hannah Paschall, daughter of Mr. Stephen Paschall, a young lady whose amiable disposition and eminent mental accomplishments add dignity to her agreeable person."

33. Abraham "Abram" Hollingsworth (Thomas Valentine , Vallentine , Henry ) was born on 19 Jan 1685 in Rockland Manor, New Castle County, Delaware. He died in Nov 1748 in Opeckan, Frederick County, Virginia.

Abraham Hollingsworth was a Quaker who was born in Delaware in 1686. He came to this area about 1729 and settled in the area called Shawnee Springs where his son, Isaac Hollingsworth, built "Abramâs Delight" in 1754. Family tradition says that Abraham Hollingsworth paid for his land three times: "First a cow, a calf, and a piece of red cloth to the Shawnee Indians: next a sum of money to the Kingâs agent; and finally a sum of money to Lord Fairfax." Abraham and his family were members of Hopewell Friends Meeting, which was formed in 1734. Hopewell is located in Frederick County near Clearbrook. The Hollingsworth family established a flourmill near the springs and was engaged in many other enterprises.

Notes for Abraham Hollingsworth:

Benjamin Carter was born about 1710 in Bucks County, PA, the son of James and Susanna Griffith. The children of Benjamin and Margaret were: Thomas Carter, John Carter, Benjamin Carter, Jr., Samuel Carter. Thomas was orphaned when Benjamin died and Isaac Hollingsworth, of Frederick County, VA, was appointed guardian on Nov 1, 1748. Only Thomas, the oldest, and lawful heir, was given a guardian. The younger boys were not. This record is unclear as to whether Margaret was also deceased. Maybe this was a Quaker thing, to appoint a guardian to the oldest.
				Margaret married Benjamin Carter. Benjamin was born about 1710 in Bucks County, Penn.. He died the son of James and Susanna Griffith.
	94	F	iii	Lydia Hollingsworth was born in 1718.

The largest grave marker in the Hollingsworth - Parkins graveyard is that of Isaac Hollingsworth. However this is not the Isaac who was the son of Abraham. This Isaac was a cousin and is several generations later. This Isaac was the son of Zebidae Hollingsworth and Lydia Allen. He was born in 1771 and died in 1842. He married Hannah Parkins who is also buried there. Some of the other family names of those buried in the graveyard are Lytle, Brown, Smith, Richards, Neill and Gilkison. A listing of all the graves taken from a graveyard census in 1931 exists at the Handley Archives.
				Isaac married Rachel Parkins. Rachel died in 1759 in Loudon County, Virginia. Another prominent Quaker family during this era was the Parkins family. Isaac Parkins acquired 1,425 acres in three tracts in 1735. One tract of 725 acres included the graveyard location and the location of the Parkins family home, which was west of the graveyard on what is now Valley Avenue on the southwest corner of Jubal Early Drive and Valley Avenue. This large brick house (no longer standing) was called "Milltown" and later "Willow Lawn."

He was buried there at Forquer's burying place. (C-956) To quote his Quaker eulogy, he was "greatly missed in the meeting to which he belonged, as well as in his family, and the neighborhood where he dwelt."

50. Enoch Hollingsworth (Samuel , Vallentine , Henry ) was born about 1702 in New Castle County, Delaware. He died about Sep 1752 in Birmingham Twp, Chester Co., Pa..

Enoch married (1) Elizabeth Chads daughter of Henry Chads of USA. Elizabeth was born before 1705. She died in Family Relationships not proven!!!.

All of the notes and quotes on the Chads family are compliments of David Chads, England. Information will be updated as I receive it.

"We can trace our ancestry back to Henry Chads who
was born in about 1650 and is recorded as being a
ship-owner and merchant in Belfast, Northern Ireland."

"Henry Chads (of Belfast) had five sons. The eldest,
Henry (we shall call Henry Chads of USA) was born in
about 1680 and emigrated with his family to America in
about 1725 having sold up all his possessions in
Northern Ireland. We know little of Henry of USAâs
four younger brothers."

"Henry Chads of USA married and had five children Â
three sons and two daughters. We only have records for
one of the sons, another Henry who we call Henry Chads
of Philadelphia who was born around 1710 and died
around 1752."

"We believe Henry Chads of Philadelphia was the
master of the brig âKing Davidâ which is listed in the
shipping movements published in âThe American Weekly
Mercuryâ and âThe Pennsylvania Gazetteâ during 1739
and 1740."

"Henry Chads of Philadelphia and Ann (died 1760) had
three children  another Henry  who we call Henry
Chads of Chichester and two unnamed daughters. Henry
of Chichester (born 1739) was sent to England in 1752,
after the death of his father to live with his English
uncle James Chads whose family lived in Chichester.
James was a distinguished Royal Naval Officer. Henry
of Chichester entered the Royal Navy and reached the
rank of Captain. He returned to America in about 1780
and was appointed âagent of transportâ during which
time he married (his second wife) Susannah Cornell of
Ithaca in 1783 believed to be the daughter of Samuel
Cornell, founder of Cornell University. Henry and
Susannahâs eldest son, Henry Ducie Chads, was 1st
Lieutenant on board HMS Java during the naval battle
with USS Constitution in 1812 of which there is much
detail on the internet!"

"From the above genealogical evidence it would seem
possible that Elizabeth Chads, born in 1705 according
to your records and who married Enoch Hollingsworth,
might have been one of the unnamed daughters of Henry
Chads of USA or even either of his brothers Thomas or
James who we know were alive in 1710?"

Enoch married (2) Joanna Crowley on 23 Oct 1725. Joanna was born in 1705.
