Hello.....I joined this list several months ago but this is only my second post. I would like to ask the listers who are discussing the name Hollingsowrth a few questions if I may. Is the Valentine Hollingsworth you are discussing any relation to the Abigail Hollingsworth who married William Harlan in 1748? There was also a Sarah Hollingsworth who married a Aaron Harlan in 1746. Also.....in the 1899 Wilmington, Delaware City Directory there is a listing for The Harlan and Hollingsworth Co. who are builders of iron and steel steamships and railroad cars. They were located on the South Side of Railroad at West Street - Foundry 500 W. Front. These two families, Hollingsworth and Harlan, were also related to the Price and Fairlamb families. They lived in the New Castle, Wilmington, De. area. Thanks for any response.

Valentine Hollingsworth, who died 1711 is buried there. It says he came from Ireland with William Penn. In 1687, he donated a half-acre near his home for a cemetery, "being some already buried in ye spot". Another acre was added around 1846 when the church was built. It is a beautiful old cemetery where many people who lived in Brandywine 100 were buried including my family.
