Not to be confused with Atlanta Genealogist Leon Hollingsworth, Dixon Hollingsworth and his father before him were editors of the local Sylvania (Screven County) newspaper. Dixon Hollingsworth was an outstanding area historian but correctly modest in his genealogical claims. Over a number of years, Dixon Hollingsworth and his father before him collected mostly newspaper scraps and either typed or pasted them on 3 x 5 index cards. He amassed some 15M cards, fortunately all arranged alphabetically by surname. A couple of years ago I spent a some time in the Screven County Library (now the Screven-Jenkins Regional Library System) and recorded all the information which contained Poythresses and any related families that I had even heard of. At any rate, the full and original accumulation is now digitalized on the Screven-Jenkins Regional Library System site. (http://www.sjrls.public.lib.ga.us/). It is supposed to be easily searchable since it is all indexed alphabetically. I curiously noted that I had listed more Poythresses and related surnames than the site had; probably a function of me working more or less competently with the cards themselves and incompetently searching the digitalized index. If you have an interest in Screven County, you can either searce the site above or I will be happy to send you a copy of my Hollingsworth transcription document for all Poythesses and related surnames in this Hollingsworth collection. AOL will zip it as it is quite lengthy. Maynard
