At a court held 6-25-1702,the sheriff made return of an execution on the estate of John Calvert, which was sold to Thomas and Joshua Calvert for Lb.243.These were probably sons of John.Joshua was constable of Upper Providence in 1704.Thomas bought a lot in Chester in 1700,and sold it in 1702.After this the land in Upper Providence appears to have been held by Joshua and Daniel Calvert,of whom the first had 370 acres in 1724.It seems,however,to have been patented Feb.6,1739,to John Worrall (608 1/2 acres),who,with Ruth his wife,conveyed a part to Daniel Calvert. Joshua Calvert,m.1709,Deborah Harlan,dau.of George and Elizabeth Harlan,and it is conjectured that they were the parents of Thomas Calvert,the husband of Sarah Williamson. The latter presented an acknowledgment to Goshen Monthly Meeting 6-20-1739,for marriage by a magistrate,and on 8-16-1756,received a certificate from Goshen to Chester Monthly Meeting,with their children,who are not named.They appear to have lived after this in Edgmont and perhaps he is the same Thomas Calvert who was in East Marlborough,1762-3-4,and perhaps later.He does not appear to have been in membership with Friends,and when or where he and his wife died has not been discovered. Randal Malin,of Great Barrow,in the county palatine of Chester,England, was a purchaser of 250 acres of land in Pennsylvania,by deeds of lease and release,dated 6th and 7th of March,1681.He was a grand juror at a court held at Chester in the 10th month 1684,and a settler in Upper Providence.His wife Elizabeth,died in the beginning of the 7th month, 1687,and in the 2nd month 1692 he was married to Mary Conoway,widow of Thomas Conoway and dau.of Valentine Hollingsworth,of New Castle County.

IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS INTO PA, by Myers has a great deal of info on the Hollingsworth family.......this is a quote concerning the Calvert/Hollingsworth relationship; "At Chester MM, 4 mo3 6, 1687, mention is made of a difference between John Calvert and Thomas Hollingsworth (stepson of John Calvert's sister, Ann, who married Valentine Hollingsworth), about dividing their lands in Upper Providence." Valentine Hollingsworth, son of Henry, of Belleniskcrannel, Parish Segoe, Co Armagh, Ireland, and Catharine, his wife, was born at Balleniskcrannel, 'about the 6m of 1632.' married 4 m 7, 1655, Ann Ree, dau of Nicholas Ree of Tanderagee, Co Armagh. She was born around 1628, at Tanderagee, and d 2m 1, 1671. He then married a second time 4m 12, 1572, to Ann Calvert, dau of Thomas Calvert of Dromgora, Parish Segoe, Co Armagh, and Jane his wife. (their marriage certificate is included in the MARRIAGE BOOK OF LURGAN MONTHLY MEETING In 1687, Henry Hollingsworth returned to Ireland and, 8 mo 22, 1688, married Lydia Atkinson, of the Parish of Segoe, County Armagh, who shortly afterward came over to New Castle with her husband. S. (an interesting aside for Valentine - he originally settled on a large plantation of nearly 1000 acres, about 5 miles from the present city of Wilmington....the land was called "New Worke", and held the 'Newark' MM and burying ground, where he was interred....interesting to think "New Worke" morphed into Newark, that we are all familiar with....place names can tell us a lot, if we look hard enough.) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
