Sandra "Valentine's son Henry Hollingsworth crossed the Atlantic on the Lion of Liverpool, arriving on 14th 8 MO 1683, as a servant to Robert Turner, the 14yh of his 17 servants in the list, to serve 2 years, and receive 50 acres...term was up on 14th 8th MO 1685 As far as Valentine goes, we find nobody actually saying that Valentine actually came on the Welcome, but most of them somehow manage to mention the ship as if to allow some prestige to rub off on the Hollingsworth. It is generally believed that he did come, and such of his family as came with him, though not, as we have seen, his son Henry, on the ship Antelope which arrived on 10 10th MO 1682 and brought at least one passenger from Ireland, namely, Ann Milcom of Armagh, Ireland, widow. In 1735 during the dispute over the boundary with Maryland, testimony was given and recorded in the "Breviate" by Samuel Hollingsworthy, son of Valentine, then aged 67, who said he had come to the Province of Pennsylvania in 1682. Likewise, JohnMusgrave, aged 73,gave testimony, that bring us to the conclusion that Hollingsworth and Musgrave arrived on a ship which preceded both the Welcome and the Antelope." "Valentine Hollingsworthy, son of Henry and Katheran ...Hollingsworth, of Ballyvickcrannel, Parish of Segoe, Co Armagh, Ireland, was born there in the 6th MO 1632. When he was about 32 he purchased Ballyvickcrannell . After he removed with his family to the Delaware River, it was sold, and it may be that when his son returned to Ireland in 1688 he went as much to sell his father;s property as to marry his sweetheart, Lydia Atkinson. there was in 1688 a suit between Valentine and Henry Jenney. Other later deeds prove that the Jenney or Janney family were in possession of Ballyvickcrannell. Ballyvickcrannell is a rural area a few miles east to the town of Portadown. early in the life of Valentine there was an outbreak of violence in this part of Ireland, and the English residents were badly treated by the native Irish. Many were murdered, many went back to England and never returned. Some time in the 1660s Valentine became a devoted member of Lurgan MM. He had his family records entered into the books of that Meeting. William stockdale's A Great Cry of Oppression contains 8 references to Hollingsworth's sufferings, deprivation of goods or stock as payment for tithes to the English church. He requested a certificate of removal to PA, ant this was granted at the meeting o 25 5th MO, 1682. Valentine married first on 7 June 1655, Ann Ree, dau of Nicholas and Ann Ree of Tanderagee, co Armagh, and by her had 4 children ; 2nd 12 4th MO, 1672, in Friends Meeting, Armagh, Ann Calvert, born Now 1650, at Kilwarling, co down, dau of Thomas and Jane calvert of drumgor, Armagh. Ann's grandfather, John calvert, came from Great Moorsholm alias Moresome near guisborough, inNorth Riding, Yorkshire, to Legacory, co Armagh, before 1617. Vaqlentine died around 1711, and was buried at Newark, Delaware." pages 248 through 252 WELCOME CLAIMANTS, etc....... there follows a list of Valentines 11 children...I won't bother to type it all if you have these children. ==== PACHESTE Mailing List ==== To unsubscribe from regular mail mode on this list, send a message to: [email protected] Put only the word unsubscribe in the body of your message.
