the Hollingsworths of Scotch Plains, New Jersey.
Daniel was in Arklow in 1766, He held a plot of ground and a house
in the town, paying to Lord Carysfort the landlord. His uncles William
and Thomas Hollingsworth were just south of town, at Cronelusk, and
like Daniel had been there at least from 1750.
Old Daniel (1730-1811) might be the very same person memorialized
and semi-fictionalized in the often told tale of the sailor who ran
away with "Lady Spottiswoode". She was disowned by her father
and was quite a love story for its time.
Daniel's death is registered in the Parish of Killena, but believed
to be buried in the Old Ballycanew Church Yard.

Wexford. He was buried in Old Ballycanew Protestant churchyard.
Thomas received the 56 acres of Tomduff from his father
who leased them for the lives of Thomas, Willam his brother and Thomas
Tackaberry, son of Edward Tackaberry of Kilnew, Kilmuckridge, in 1761.
Thomas took possession of this farm, a further lease dated 22 Feb 1770.
On May 23, 1798 the Rebellion broke out in County Wexford. A few
days after, Ballycanew village was taken by the rebels under the
Guidance of Rev. Michael Murphy, Roman Catholic Priest who had served
that village and used his chapel for seditious meetings for years. At
the battle of Arklow on 9th June, it is said that his head was taken
off by an English cannon ball. The shops, houses and farm properties of
most of the Protestants in the parish were looted or destroyed. Some of
the more helpless residents were shot or otherwise murdered in a most
fiendish manner. Luckily, Thomas Hollingsworth escaped, though it is
not known how, exactly, unles he fled to Dublin as did many.
Thomas is buried in the old churchyard of the adjoining parish of
Ballycanew and rests there along with his parents, an uncle, and all of
his brothers.

152. John
Hollingsworth Jr. (John ,
Thomas , Thomas , Henry
) was born in 1748 in Ballinakill, Ballycanew. He died on 9 Apr 1804 in
Ballycanew, Ireland.
A deed made after John's death dated December 4, 1792,
Number 300286, which settles property on John Hollingsworth Jr.,
Ballycanew, shopkeeper, as his father's executor, as due from debts, is
witnessed by Thomas Pielow, John Robinson, Dublin, William
Hollingsworth, Cranacrower and Nicholas Hollingsworth, County Wexford
farmer.
The last record of John before burial is to be found in the state
papers. He filed two petitions for losses due to the ravages of the
Rebellion. The first filed 8 Oct 1798, claimed losses of provisions,
household and shop goods to the amount of 83:3:9d. The second filed 9
Nov of the same year for losses of car (cart or wagon), furniture and
apparel, being nine pages long.
Descendants say that he served in the War of 1812 and was killed or
died in service in 1812. This is still to be proven.
John was shopkeeper and the second son of John and Elizabeth
Hollingsworth of Ballinakill. He was raised at Ballinakill and probably
educated by private tutors, the usual method of the wealthy Protestant
farmers of the time, and was quite educated for his time.
The abode of his widow, Elizabeth, given in the entry of her burial
was Bracana (Bracanagh) which was next to Cranacrower. She possibly
went to dwell with her brother-in-law William Hollingsworth, who lived
at Cranacrower.

Peter Roe and Mary Gowan on 29 Sep 1781 in Ballinaclare,Toome Parish
Church, County Wexford. Elizabeth was born about 1760 in Bracana,

William Hollingsworth became heir to a full third of the
"lands of Clonard or Great Fowkestown, County Dublin", by
right of his wife, from his father-in-law, John Jones, who was possibly
murdered in the Rebellion of 1798. He divided it upon the his three
daughters, Martha, Susanna and Jane.

158. Nicholas Henry
Hollingsworth Link Donald Page [scrapbook] (John , Thomas
, Thomas , Henry ) was born in 1762 in Ballinakill,
County Wexford, Ireland. He died on 20 Jan 1826 in Ballycanew, Ireland.
He was buried in Old Ballycanew Church.
In Hollingsworth Register articles in Vol 4, pp.87-89
and 5 pp 156-161, this writer (Harry Hollingsworth) asserted that
Nicholas Hollingsworth of Ballcanew townland, farmer, was possibly the
son of John Hollingsworth of Ballinakill (1713-1791). John's will did
not name a son Nicholas, but did mention a "nephew
Hollingsworth". Further investigation - still without proof -
indicates Nicholas was son of Samuel Hollingsworth of Coolookbeg,
brother of John in the Arklow Family. The fact that he and his brother
Abraham were not mentioned in the will could have been an error and
accidentally omitted by a genealogist Sir William Betham when he made
abstracts of about 37,000 Irish Prerogative Wills that were destroyed
in 1922.
Nicholas was possessor of a lease on a 53 acre farm on the townland
of Ballycanew. This townland lies in about the north east part of the
Civil Parish of the same name. The village of Ballycanew is seated upon
the south eastern edge of the townland. The farm was the largest singly
leased piece of ground in the townland.
Nicholas served in the Camolin Yeomanry Cavalry during the 1798
Rebellion, but was discharged later for neglect of duty. (Ed. TJH) I
like to think the "neglect of duty" was based on the fact he
would not do the horrible things to his fellow man that was being done
at the time by both sides of the Rebellion. Also charged at the same
time as Nicholas were two good friends and most likely relatives,
Benjamin and John Tackaberry.
17 April 1786 Nicholas Hollingsworth and his brother John
Hollingsworth attended the vestry meeting and voted to appoint two
members as Church Wardens for the present year.
15 May 1786 Nicholas Hollingsworth signed the minute as Church
Warden at the vestry.

Nicholas married Mary Rathwell about 1777
in Ballycanew, Ireland. Mary was born in 1762. She died on 26 Oct 1835
in Ballycanew, Ireland.
Mary was still living on the farm in 1833, seven years
after Nicholas's death. Mary's maiden name has not been proven and
Harry Hollingsworth believed it could have been "Jones" or
"Tackaberry", and not Rathwell.

Ballycanew Churchyard.
Based on Claire Hollingsworth's of Edmonton, Canada
personal observation and notes taken at the Ballycanew Churchyard, the
following information is on a 6 x4 grave stone.
John Hollingsworth d. 1791
wife Elizabeth d. 1781 (nee Tackaberry)
Son Samuel d. 1815
wife Anne d. 1 Apr 1849
I believe at this point in time that John d. 1791 and Elizabeth d.
1781 are my gggg grandparents.
And Samuel and Anne my ggg grandparents.
June 8, 2004: I believe that Samuel Hollingsworth, born about 1767
Ballinakill, County Wexford, Ireland is my great great great
grandfather. (Samuel was also Harry Hollingsworth's ( author of the
Hollingsworth Register) great, great, great grandfather.) My great
great grandfather Sgt James Nicholas Hollingsworth named his first son
Samuel and first daughter Elizabeth after his father and his wife
Anne's mother Elizabeth or his grandmother Elizabeth Tackaberry. And by
the same token I feel Samuel's father was named John, no proof at this
time, but based on the fact he named his first son John and on bits and
pieces this fits. Tom Hollingsworth
Hi Tom,
I did as you requested and checked the records again today. I am afraid
that there is no entry for James Hollingsworth- the only entry in that
time frame is for a Susanna Hollingsworth born on February 1st 1810 to
Samuel and Ann Hollingsworth of Ballinakill.
Many families moved around the area at that time as the 1798 rising
was only 12 years previously and things were still volatile here for
some years. Some families had also lost their homes and compensation
was slow in coming from the Crown. I will check my 3 other parishes
when time permits to see if James was baptized in one of them.
My mailing address is as follows:

Todays exchange rate is Â1 Euro is equal to $1.25 US Dollars.
A donation is entirely up to you but if you wish to send something,
please send it in cash as checks incur heavy bank charges and negate
the benefit to the fund.
Sorry I did not find more but who knows what might appear in a
neighboring parish.
In Christ,
Mark.
Dear Reverend Hayden: Thank you again for your search and if you
will be kind enough to check the other parishes when you have time, I
would appreciate it. I didn't think about the other parishes because I
am not familiar with the church representation in the area.
Meanwhile, I understand the difficulty sending a check or even
converting the money here and sending it. I had that problem when
figuring out how to send money to Dr. Hood in Dublin, I ended up
sending cash.
I will be sending you some US dollars the first of the week. Thanks
again for your past and future help.Best Regards, Tom Hollingsworth

Samuel Hollingsworth supposedly lost his leg in the Irish Rebellion
1789 according to family tradition handed down. When the danger of
rebellion arose in Ireland, the entire establishment was in fear of
uprising by the Catholics. The Militia and the British Regular Army
existed, but seeing that wasn't enough protection so the farmers formed
the "Yeomanry", a militia of yeomen farmers. This was formed
under the Earl of Mountnorris, he was the landlord of the
Hollingsworths, the same man known as Arthur Lord Viscount Valentia,
which was another of his several titles.
Samuel's father John Hollingsworth when he died bequeathed his farm
to his youngest son, my ggg grandfather. Samuel died and evidently left
no will, whereby the above lot went in two equal moieties (halves) to
his widow Anne and his eldest son John, who was the
"representative" of the estate. The 1833 Tithe Books give
this lot as to "Mrs." and John,with 40-1-34 acres plantation
measure each, exactly half.
Frederick Hollingsworth, my "English-Irish Immigrant!" Is
not that
sufficient grounds? The next article will explain the matter in greater
detail. It will also explain who Mrs. Allen means when she says that
her grandmother's brother went to America. He was, of course - and no
possibility of mistake here - Edward Thomas Hollingsworth of
Cincinnati,
Ohio. I knew this from the first moment I read her first letter. Soon
she replied, verifying the information. She remembered her father's
sisters, Lena, Lucy and Mrs Evalyn Tudor, going on a world trip before
the Great War (1914-1918) and she remembered that they visited Ireland,
bringing back souvenirs which she still owns. (by HH of HR)

June 1, 1798
A body of more than one thousand insurgents, in advancing towards
Gorey, on the 1s of June 1798 had taken possession of a small village
called Ballycanew, four miles to the south of Gorey....This victorious
band, on their return from Gorey fired most of the houses at Ballycanew
and entered the town in triumph, with 100 horses and other spoil they
had taken.
Not just the private houses were set afire, the horde of rabble also
entered the church and brought forth the registry and vestry minute
books dating back, perhaps to the late 1600s, which they set on fire
deliberately, calling them 'Heretick Books'. Rev Arthur Colley, with
his vestrymen, on their return later began the new register with the
solemn certificate that the older registers had been taken away or
destroyed in the late Rebellion. (from Harry Hollingsworth's HR)
The Hollingsworths had farms just across the fields in several
directions from the village and John Hollingsworth, son of John, had a
shop in the village of Ballycanew. They had all left the area before
the insurgents got there the first time, some of them including
Nicholas Hollingsworth joined their yeomanry units to fight as a member
of the Camolin Yeomanry Cavalry under Lord Mount Norris9 The Earl of
Anglesey, Viscount Valentia.
Our Samuel Hollingsworth, Nicholas's brother is said to have had
his leg shot off during that summer. Nicholas was a member of Lord
Mountnorris's yeomanry, the Camolin Cavalry, he was later discharged
for neglect of juty in 1799. (from HR)

Edward Earl Hollingsworth was born in
1790 in Ballinakill, Ballycanew, County Wexford. He died about 1834 in
Winetavern Street, Dublin, Ireland.
Edward appears in the Dublin Directory in the period of the 1820s, and
his address was 2 St. Michael's Hill, and his business, that of a paper
manufacturer.
It is believed that Edward was a first cousin of John Robinson, who was
quite wealthy, and strongly appears that Edward was an apprentice to
the paper trade, which would explain his presence in Dublin as a young
fellow.
What makes us (Harry Hollingsworth Ed. of the HR) so sure now, that
this Edward was probably the Edward of the 1795 will - and therefore -
the brother of Frederick Hollingsworth, is this. John Robinson of
Usher's Quay, Dublin, Paper and Wine Merchant, was the oldest son of
William Robinson of Ballycanew, farmer and of Martha Hollingsworth his
wife, married in 1770, she a daughter of John and Elizabeth of
Ballinakill, and hence a sister to Samuel Hollingsworth.
Edward appears to have died without having any children or
"issue" as it is known in these matters. |

(22) M-237-172 #352. Ship Star of the West, Liverpool, Apr 20, 1857,
1122 tons,
James Shoppy, master.
#5 Nichs Hollingsworth 58m, farmer, (in 2 cabin) New York to New Yk.
#101 Hannah Tackaberry 20f, spinster, Ireland to New York.
NOTE: These both are of "our Hollingsworth family," from Co
Wexford. Nicholas was born in Co Wexford; may have been on a visit
there this trip. Note by: Harry Hollingsworth
Nicholas Hollingsworth and Hannah Tackaberry were most likely relatives
of (James of Ballycanew) and as Harry Hollingsworth surmises were
visiting relatives in Ireland. It appears that Nicholas went back to
Ireland to visit his family, probably for one last time. His ticket was
two way, New York to New York, in 2 cabin passenger, #5, Ship
"Star of the West". He could have also brought Hannah
Tackaberry to America with him since her family was also settled in
Madison County, New York. |
