    1. Re: [NewCastle] Hollingsworth
    2. For many years,I thought Val Hollingsworth's brother-in-law,John Chenoweth , was my ancestor. Then,a will was found that showed I was tracing the wrong FOX brother. Anyway, 15 years ago,a genealogy pen pal of mine visited a Mr Farmer [?] in the east side of Cincinnati,and let me read a remarkable history of the Hollingsworth's in Ireland,and in n Del. Today,my interest is in Pencader Hundred Welsh Tract Baptist Welsh,and kinsmen David and Esther Jones,of White Clay Hundred,near Cooch's Bridge. David's will mentions George Brown,and son,George Jr,John,William,and Thomas,of Mill Creek Hundred. Mill wrights,mostly. I gather that the Brandywine,and the other creeks of very northern Delaware like the Red Clay,the White Clay,Mill Creek,and Ball's Run had a lot of waterpower,and powered many mills. Google tells me of another famous mill wright,Oliver Evans,of Charles Evans and his Stalcup wife,b 1755 at Newport,on the Christina. Back in 1992,I was on Prodigy genealogy with Alvie Davidson,who used to speak at national genealogy meetings about Delaware's Welsh Tract to SC 's Welsh Neck Baptists. Personally,I had Welsh in the main 1680 Welsh Tract just west of Philadelphia [Dr Thomas Wynne and Morgan Abraham's widow]. And I had Edward Foulke at the Gwynedd Welsh colony of 1698 25 miles nw of Philadelphia. Sorry,but somebody's at the door.
