Descendants of Henry Hollingsworth

Seventh Generation

(Continued)

432. Susanna Hollingsworth [scrapbook] (John , William , John , Thomas , Thomas , Henry ) was born on 10 Aug 1827 in Ballycanew, County Wexford. She was christened on 27 Aug 1827 in Old Ballycanew Church.

John left 10 pounds to his daughter Susanna and his watch and chain, saddle and best bridle "as well as my fiddle for the sole use of her son John Tackaberry to be given to him when she may think proper".

Susanna was christened by H. W. Browne

Fossey Tackaberry of Tomagaddy, Parish of Monamolin and Susanna Hollingsworth of Cranacrower, this Parish married 4 Dec. 1844 by James Richards in presence of Elizabeth Hollingsworth and Joseph Bass.

Susanna married Fossey Tackaberry on 4 Dec 1844 in Ballycanew, County Wexford. Fossey was born in 1808 in Tomagaddy, Parish of Monamolin. He died on 6 Nov 1884 in Tomagaddy, Ballycanew, County Wexford.

Fossey was a farmer

Fossey and Susanna had the following children:

	686	M	i	Loftus Hollingsworth Tackaberry [scrapbook] was born on 25 Jan 1846 in Tomagaddy, Ballycanew, County Wexford. He died on 20 Jun 1860 in St. Mogue's Church yard Ballycanew, County Wexford.
	687	M	ii	John Tackaberry.

442. Edward Thomas "Ned" Hollingsworth [scrapbook] (Susanna Hollingsworth , William , John , Thomas , Thomas , Henry ) was born on 15 Dec 1823 in Ballinakill, County Wexford. He was christened on 10 Jan 1825 in St. Mogue's Protestant Church, Ballycanew. He died on 14 Jun 1903 in 807 Hutchins Avenue, Avondale, Cincinnati, Ohio. He was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio .

Edward Hollingsworth was in the saddler business when he first arrived May 1, 1849.
(According to a letter he wrote on March 28, 1878 to William Baker Hollingsworth)
went into the office of The Enquirer where he worked for fifty years.

He was the cashier and bookkeeper. At one time he was prominent in
politics, serving under Democratic administration in the City Council
of Cincinnati, and on the School Board. (This prominence probably is
what drew the attention of the Baltimore genealogist.) In 1900, at
age 77, he left his office and attempted to board a street car at 5th
& Walnut Streets, when he fell, breaking three ribs and receiving other
injuries.

He convalesced several weeks, and returned to work for about
three months. But his injuries were more serious than he had
suspected, and he was forced to give up his position.

The first record of Edward T. Hollingsworth in America, aside
from the ship's passenger list already cited, is the U.S. Census, 1850
page 485, Eighth Ward:

"Edward Hollingsworth, 24, Clerk, born Ireland.
"Henry Kid 18, Clerk, born Ireland."

These young men were in the dwelling occupied by Richard Smith,
27, telegraph operator, also born Ireland, wife and children, native
Americans. Kidd was Edward's cousin, a brother of his wife-to-be,
Susannah Kidd.

Henry was born about 1833, but his baptism is omitted
from Carnew register. We assume, since Kidd worked in a telegraph office,
that Edward Hollingsworth did also, at that time. His name is not in the
1850 directory, though that of Kidd is.

The Hollingsworth family is listed in Ward 15, Cincinnati, U.S. Census of 1860, page 76, with wife
Susan, and children Eveline, 5, Clarence 3, and Elizabeth 1, and servant
Ann Moody, 21, Ireland. In 1870 (U.S. Census, page 368) Ward 18 was
their home area. Children Eva 15, John, 13, George 10, William 8, Lee 6,
Lydia 4, and Louisa 2.

Two servants, Mary Leydar, 23, born Hanover,
Germany, and Minnie Lacky, 19, Ohio. City Directories show: 1870 address
47 York St., 1880: Madisonville Park, east of Woodburn Avenue; 1885:
433 Broadway; 1890: 31 Ingleside Place, and 1900-1903: 807 Hutchins
Avenue. By 1885 his son Edward Lee appears at his father's home address,
and by 1890, his son George W. and 1895, Fred appears.

Names of members
of the family continued to appear in City Directories as late as 1943.

Edward claimed his family had been at Ballinakill since 1665 coming there from England, but this was never able to have been proved. The family emigrated from northern Ireland in County Armagh after the rebellion of 1640s, is a more likely story.

Edward Thomas Hollingsworth was born Dec. 15, 1823, at Ballinakill,
Ballycanew Parish, County Wexford, Ireland; died June 14, 1903, at his
home, No. 807 Hutchins Avenue, Avondale, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio,
in his 80th year. He is buried in the family vault in the Cemetery of
Spring Grove, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. He was baptized in the
St. Mogue's Protestant Church, Ballycanew, Jan. 10, 1824, the third
child of John and Susannah (Hollingsworth) Hollingsworth of Ballinakill.
His father's parents are believed to be Samuel and Anne (Earl)
Hollingsworth, of Ballinakill. His mother's parents, as proved by
records, were William & Elizabeth (Jones) Hollingsworth, of Cranacrower,
Ballycanew Parish. Edward's parents were first cousins, his two
grandfathers being the sons of John & Elizabeth Hollingsworth (or
Hollinsworth) of Ballinakill.

Edward T. Hollingsworth was one of seven children, Samuel, William,
Elizabeth (or Eliza) who married Henry Johnston (See pages 2
and 3) of Tomagaddy and had 13 children: John (1) (presumed either
to have died before he was a year old, or the baptism of the above and
the next child some error in Ballycanew register book) John (2)
and Abraham. (For a complete record of the baptisms, see HR Vol. 1,
page 71, Ballycanew baptisms numbers 21-27.) Our subject was the only
member to marry, his sister Eliza Johnston, the only girl, being the
only other married member of the family.

Edward came to New York City aboard the ship "Constitution" from
Liverpool, England, arriving on May 2, 1849. The master of the vessel
was John Britton, and the ship bore 1326 tons. It carried mostly Irish-
born people. Edward is listed "Edward Hollingworth, age 23, laborer,"
country to which he belonged, 'England' rather than Ireland. His own
testimony says he came to the United States in 1849.

EDWARD T. HOLLINGSWORTH
Son of John. - Born December 15th, 1823. Came to the United
States in 1849. Residence, Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati
Enquirer Office. Only one of his family in the United States;
his brothers still live in Ballinakill, Wexford County,
Ireland, 1878.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, June 15, 1903, page 10, column 6.
It states that he was 'born in Ireland, of Old English stock,' and
'came to America in 1843.' Remember, these statements made after his
death. The article goes on to tell that Edward Hollingsworth was in
the saddlery business when he first arrived, and then, about 1852,
went into the office of The Enquirer where he worked for fifty years.
He was the cashier and bookkeeper. At one time he was prominent in
politics, serving under Democratic administration in the City Council
of Cincinnati, and on the School Board. (This prominence probably is
what drew the attention of the Baltimore genealogist.) In 1900, at
age 77, he left his office and attempted to board a street car at 5th
& Walnut Streets, when he fell, breaking three ribs and receiving other
injuries. He convalesced several weeks, and returned to work for about
three months. But his injuries were more serious than he had
suspected, and he was forced to give up his position. He became
childish in his last year and necessitated constant care. Funeral
was held at the Hollingsworth home. He had been unconscious for several
days. (This obituary, which we have only extracted, was published as
a biography in Grave's History of Cincinnati, Ohio, Vol. 2,
pages 918, 919. We don't class it as a true biography, since nearly
all the personal data was compiled after his death.) Most of his
children are also buried in Spring Grove, Cincinnati, with some
grandchildren.

(Text of a letter William Turner Pierce Hollingsworth wrote to William Baker Hollingsworth on Apr 21, 1883., William was living 552 Broadway, New York City, and was known as the Neon Light Tycoon.
April 21, 1883
My dear Mr. Hollingsworth
Yours of yesterday to hand this morning and in reply would say that the easiest way to get to Gorey is from Dublin on the Dublin, Wicklow & Wexford R.R. (October 2005, Still the easiest. TJH) It is about 44 miles South.
Mr. Godkin is a saddler in Gorey, and old bachelor and I think a crank. I believe his first name is John. Mr. John W. Hollingsworth of Gorey, a draper, and a first cousin of my fathers, will post you better than I can. (page 2) In regard to the Hollingsworth in Ireland. He can tell yhou the names of a great many around there and give you their addresses. I know very few of them myself, if I did it would give me pleasure to assist you, if it would be an assistance, by giving their addresses. And I assure you that you have given me no trouble. I am only sorry that I can give you no more information.
I hope you will have a pleasant and successful trip. (page3) in your search for information on the history of the Hollingsworth family. Yours Truly, William (Baker- Ed.)Hollingsworth

Edward wrote a letter to William Baker Hollingsworth dated March 28, 1878, five years after the above letter. These letters were found in another family's records and past along to Harry Hollingsworth. Harry published them in his HR, Vol 23, Dec 1987, Number Four, No. 92, page 59.

An portion of that letter states: "The head of our house left England about the year 1665 and settled on a place called Ballinakill in the County of Wexford, Ireland where the family remained ever since, and my brothers now live on the same property. My father died on the 16 of December last"

The fact Edward's family came from England has not been proven as of this writing, October 2005, and it is possible he came for Armagh in about 1665, that date would fit with all of the problems in the North and might have some indication when the Wexford Hollingsworth left Armagh and settled in Wexford. (ed. Tom Hollingsworth)

Edward married Susanna ( Susan) Kidd daughter of George Kidd and Martha Hollingsworth on 25 Nov 1852 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Susanna was born on 5 Sep 1829 in Askamore, Parish of Carnew, Co. Wexford-Wicklow. She died on 25 Feb 1905 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio .

family tree" belonging to his father, at the death of his sister Lena
in 1943. William died in Miami, and the record was thus lost. We
are unable to know whether this was simply a gift copy of the 1884
book, or a real, manuscript copy of the old history of the Wexfords.

Susannah Kidd, his wife, was born Sept. 5, 1829, baptized Oct. 25,
same year, at Carnew Parish Church, County Wicklow. She was born at
Askamore in the same parish. She died Feb. 25, 1905 in Cincinnati,

*NOTE: William H. Hollingsworth, the last survivor, obtained "the

in 1943. William died in Miami, and the record was thus lost. We
are unable to know whether this was simply a gift copy of the 1884
book, or a real, manuscript copy of the old history of the Wexfords.

Susannah Kidd, his wife, was born Sept. 5, 1829, baptized Oct. 25,
same year, at Carnew Parish Church, County Wicklow. She was born at
Askamore in the same parish. She died Feb. 25, 1905 in Cincinnati,
Ohio, aged 76. She is buried in the family vault at Spring Grove. She
bore ten children to Edward Hollingsworth.

Susanna married Edward Thomas "Ned" Hollingsworth [scrapbook] son of John Hollingsworth and Susanna Hollingsworth on 25 Nov 1852 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Edward was born on 15 Dec 1823 in Ballinakill, County Wexford. He was christened on 10 Jan 1825 in St. Mogue's Protestant Church, Ballycanew. He died on 14 Jun 1903 in 807 Hutchins Avenue, Avondale, Cincinnati, Ohio. He was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio .

Edward Hollingsworth was in the saddler business when he first arrived May 1, 1849.
(According to a letter he wrote on March 28, 1878 to William Baker Hollingsworth)
went into the office of The Enquirer where he worked for fifty years.

He was the cashier and bookkeeper. At one time he was prominent in
politics, serving under Democratic administration in the City Council
of Cincinnati, and on the School Board. (This prominence probably is
what drew the attention of the Baltimore genealogist.) In 1900, at
age 77, he left his office and attempted to board a street car at 5th
& Walnut Streets, when he fell, breaking three ribs and receiving other
injuries.

He convalesced several weeks, and returned to work for about
three months. But his injuries were more serious than he had
suspected, and he was forced to give up his position.

The first record of Edward T. Hollingsworth in America, aside
from the ship's passenger list already cited, is the U.S. Census, 1850
page 485, Eighth Ward:

"Edward Hollingsworth, 24, Clerk, born Ireland.
"Henry Kid 18, Clerk, born Ireland."

These young men were in the dwelling occupied by Richard Smith,
27, telegraph operator, also born Ireland, wife and children, native
Americans. Kidd was Edward's cousin, a brother of his wife-to-be,
Susannah Kidd.

Henry was born about 1833, but his baptism is omitted
from Carnew register. We assume, since Kidd worked in a telegraph office,
that Edward Hollingsworth did also, at that time. His name is not in the
1850 directory, though that of Kidd is.

The Hollingsworth family is listed in Ward 15, Cincinnati, U.S. Census of 1860, page 76, with wife
Susan, and children Eveline, 5, Clarence 3, and Elizabeth 1, and servant
Ann Moody, 21, Ireland. In 1870 (U.S. Census, page 368) Ward 18 was
their home area. Children Eva 15, John, 13, George 10, William 8, Lee 6,
Lydia 4, and Louisa 2.

Two servants, Mary Leydar, 23, born Hanover,
Germany, and Minnie Lacky, 19, Ohio. City Directories show: 1870 address
47 York St., 1880: Madisonville Park, east of Woodburn Avenue; 1885:
433 Broadway; 1890: 31 Ingleside Place, and 1900-1903: 807 Hutchins
Avenue. By 1885 his son Edward Lee appears at his father's home address,
and by 1890, his son George W. and 1895, Fred appears.

Names of members
of the family continued to appear in City Directories as late as 1943.

Edward claimed his family had been at Ballinakill since 1665 coming there from England, but this was never able to have been proved. The family emigrated from northern Ireland in County Armagh after the rebellion of 1640s, is a more likely story.

Edward Thomas Hollingsworth was born Dec. 15, 1823, at Ballinakill,
Ballycanew Parish, County Wexford, Ireland; died June 14, 1903, at his
home, No. 807 Hutchins Avenue, Avondale, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio,
in his 80th year. He is buried in the family vault in the Cemetery of
Spring Grove, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. He was baptized in the
St. Mogue's Protestant Church, Ballycanew, Jan. 10, 1824, the third
child of John and Susannah (Hollingsworth) Hollingsworth of Ballinakill.
His father's parents are believed to be Samuel and Anne (Earl)
Hollingsworth, of Ballinakill. His mother's parents, as proved by
records, were William & Elizabeth (Jones) Hollingsworth, of Cranacrower,
Ballycanew Parish. Edward's parents were first cousins, his two
grandfathers being the sons of John & Elizabeth Hollingsworth (or
Hollinsworth) of Ballinakill.

Edward T. Hollingsworth was one of seven children, Samuel, William,
Elizabeth (or Eliza) who married Henry Johnston (See pages 2
and 3) of Tomagaddy and had 13 children: John (1) (presumed either
to have died before he was a year old, or the baptism of the above and
the next child some error in Ballycanew register book) John (2)
and Abraham. (For a complete record of the baptisms, see HR Vol. 1,
page 71, Ballycanew baptisms numbers 21-27.) Our subject was the only
member to marry, his sister Eliza Johnston, the only girl, being the
only other married member of the family.

Edward came to New York City aboard the ship "Constitution" from
Liverpool, England, arriving on May 2, 1849. The master of the vessel
was John Britton, and the ship bore 1326 tons. It carried mostly Irish-
born people. Edward is listed "Edward Hollingworth, age 23, laborer,"
country to which he belonged, 'England' rather than Ireland. His own
testimony says he came to the United States in 1849.

EDWARD T. HOLLINGSWORTH
Son of John. - Born December 15th, 1823. Came to the United
States in 1849. Residence, Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati
Enquirer Office. Only one of his family in the United States;
his brothers still live in Ballinakill, Wexford County,
Ireland, 1878.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, June 15, 1903, page 10, column 6.
It states that he was 'born in Ireland, of Old English stock,' and
'came to America in 1843.' Remember, these statements made after his
death. The article goes on to tell that Edward Hollingsworth was in
the saddlery business when he first arrived, and then, about 1852,
went into the office of The Enquirer where he worked for fifty years.
He was the cashier and bookkeeper. At one time he was prominent in
politics, serving under Democratic administration in the City Council
of Cincinnati, and on the School Board. (This prominence probably is
what drew the attention of the Baltimore genealogist.) In 1900, at
age 77, he left his office and attempted to board a street car at 5th
& Walnut Streets, when he fell, breaking three ribs and receiving other
injuries. He convalesced several weeks, and returned to work for about
three months. But his injuries were more serious than he had
suspected, and he was forced to give up his position. He became
childish in his last year and necessitated constant care. Funeral
was held at the Hollingsworth home. He had been unconscious for several
days. (This obituary, which we have only extracted, was published as
a biography in Grave's History of Cincinnati, Ohio, Vol. 2,
pages 918, 919. We don't class it as a true biography, since nearly
all the personal data was compiled after his death.) Most of his
children are also buried in Spring Grove, Cincinnati, with some
grandchildren.

(Text of a letter William Turner Pierce Hollingsworth wrote to William Baker Hollingsworth on Apr 21, 1883., William was living 552 Broadway, New York City, and was known as the Neon Light Tycoon.
April 21, 1883
My dear Mr. Hollingsworth
Yours of yesterday to hand this morning and in reply would say that the easiest way to get to Gorey is from Dublin on the Dublin, Wicklow & Wexford R.R. (October 2005, Still the easiest. TJH) It is about 44 miles South.
Mr. Godkin is a saddler in Gorey, and old bachelor and I think a crank. I believe his first name is John. Mr. John W. Hollingsworth of Gorey, a draper, and a first cousin of my fathers, will post you better than I can. (page 2) In regard to the Hollingsworth in Ireland. He can tell yhou the names of a great many around there and give you their addresses. I know very few of them myself, if I did it would give me pleasure to assist you, if it would be an assistance, by giving their addresses. And I assure you that you have given me no trouble. I am only sorry that I can give you no more information.
I hope you will have a pleasant and successful trip. (page3) in your search for information on the history of the Hollingsworth family. Yours Truly, William (Baker- Ed.)Hollingsworth

Edward wrote a letter to William Baker Hollingsworth dated March 28, 1878, five years after the above letter. These letters were found in another family's records and past along to Harry Hollingsworth. Harry published them in his HR, Vol 23, Dec 1987, Number Four, No. 92, page 59.

An portion of that letter states: "The head of our house left England about the year 1665 and settled on a place called Ballinakill in the County of Wexford, Ireland where the family remained ever since, and my brothers now live on the same property. My father died on the 16 of December last"

The fact Edward's family came from England has not been proven as of this writing, October 2005, and it is possible he came for Armagh in about 1665, that date would fit with all of the problems in the North and might have some indication when the Wexford Hollingsworth left Armagh and settled in Wexford.
