Thank you for the list, Judith. Charlotte

Charlotte and all: it's been a while since I posted a list of the libraries that have acquired our "Bush River Quaker Cemetery" book. Besides libraries that have purchased our book themselves, we have many supporters who have purchased books for gifts to libraries in honor of their Quaker ancestors. All proceeds go to our Bush River Quaker Cemetery Clean Up fund and are used for the upkeep of the Cemetery.

Regarding the book, "Charity Cook, a Liberated Woman" -- I will bring my copy to the conference in Newberry in May. Folks are welcome to look at it.

Lewis dated April 26, 2008. She is interested in Quaker families known to have lived in Bush River: Charity Cook, Thomas Lewis, Hollingsworths, Henderson, Wright. They moved to the Miami Meeting area. I happen to be a descendant of Charity Cook, the Hollingsworths, Hendersons, and Wrights. I wrote a lengthy account of this ancestry which was published in the book compiled by Judith F. Russell and others, _The Historic Bush River Quaker Cemetery, Newberry, South Carolina_. My account appears on pages 115-116 of that work. It is too lengthy fo reprint here, and I do not believe it is to be found on the internet. There is a small book by Algie Newlin, _Charity Cook, A Liberated Quaker Woman_ (Richmond, IN: Friends United Press, c. 198l. It is a number of years since I had opportunity to read this book. I do not think in includes very much genealogical data. It can probably be found in large Quaker libraries. Charity Cook was a daughter of John Wright and Rachel Wells. Charity( Wright) Cook was a sister of Susannah Wright who married Isaac Hollingsworth. The Wrights who moved north from South Carolina tended to be descendants of John and Rachel (Wells) Wright. The Quakers who moved to southwestern Ohio from Bush River Monthly Meeting in South Carolina took their certificates to Miami Monthly Meeting after that Monthly Meeting was set off from Westland Monthly Meeting in southwestern Pennsylvania in 1803. It was not until four or five years later that other Monthly Meetings in various localities were set off from Miami Monthly Meeting. It is my impression that the Hollingsworths tended to settle in the area of West Branch Monthly Meeting in Miami County. The Cooks first settled in Clinton County and became members of Caesars Creek Monthly Meeting. However, within a few years, by 1809 or 1810, they were settling in Union County, Indiana south of Richmond and formed Silver Creek Meeting My Richard Henderson ancestors may never have lived in Ohio, but may have lived in North Carolina for a time and then moved directly from North Carolina to Union County, Indiana. By 1830, a number of families of Hollingsworth, Cooks, and Hendersons were moving on to the Vermilion Friends settlement on the Indiana/Illinois border. I am not acquainted with the ancestry of the Thomas Lewis family, but they could possibly be of Welsh Quaker ancestry, moving down from the Welsh tract area outside of Philadelphia to Virginia and the Carolinas. ------ Herbert Standing, Earlham, Iowa. **************Need a new ride?

Herbert, would you please send as an attachment a copy of your published article mentioned below? I descend from John E. Henderson who died in Perry County, AL in 1879 (will dated Marion Perry Co Ala on this the seventh day of June 1872.) through his daughter Alice Satira Henderson (bNovember 17, 1856 and dMay 18, 1918) wife of Thomas M. Nichols (1854 AL d1930 AL). I would, of course, like to know if this specific John E. Henderson came from SC. My maternal line, Leverett, came into Perry County, AL by 1838. and intermarried with the Thomas M. Nichols. The Nichols family also came from SC. You may contact me off-list at [email protected] Thank you for considering my request.

Census records from Illinois and Indiana seem to bear this out. "his death, (Joseph's) occurred about 1852" in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. This again is entirely possible but I can't prove it. I believe that this Joseph was one of the founders of the Quaker Meeting at Farmer's Institute. The Farmer's Institute MM minutes (partial) that I was able to find stated that in 1844 William, Joseph, John, Amos, Mary & Hannah, were Original Mbrs. However, these minutes cover the time period from 1844 to 1867 and there is no mention of Joseph's death in 1852. Again, census records seem to indicate that he did die between 1850 and 1860. Joseph (age 74) appears on the rolls of Wayne Twp, Tippecanoe Co, IN in 1850 with spouse Hannah (aged 56) and children James (20), Joseph (27), Sarah (12), William (33). By the 1860 census Joseph's wife Hannah (age 67) is living in Wayne Twp but with William (41) and his wife Sarah (26) and their son, Joseph (2) as well as William's brother Joseph (38).

I corresponded with Harry Hollingsworth in December 1976 and he said that Descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth, Sr by J Adger Stewart (page 75) shows this Joseph Hollingsworth to go back to Valentine through Joseph (Margaret Wright Hammer), George, Abraham, Thomas, Valentine. However, that is really the only place I found anything that stated specifically that Joseph (m. Hannah Hawkins) was the son of Joseph (m.

Mary, according to the Hawkins surname DNA project there were two separate Hawkins lines in the general area of Newberry. Do you have any more information about Hannah Hawkins?

Starting with what I know (based on death and marriage certificates etc) my Hollingsworth ancestry is: Mary Kathryn Hollingsworth Tilstra (Roger R) b. 21 January 1950 Watseka, IL Erle Howard Hollingsworth b. 19 December 1917 near Onarga, IL d. 14 November 1993 Kankakee, IL m. 28 March 1948 to Blanche Elaine Lindsay Victor Earl Hollingsworth b. 21 Dec 1892 near Onarga, IL d. 22 May 1971 at Watseka, IL m. 11 October 1915 to Mildred Lyon William Harvey (aka Harve) Hollingsworth b. 2 August 1864 near Onarga, IL d. 19 Feb 1950 Onarga, IL m. 27 Feb 1889 to Katherine Emma Doyle William Hollingsworth b. 29 April 1817 near Hamilton, Butler Co, OH d. 28 April 1894 at Onarga, IL m. 26 March 1857 to Sarah Meeks The next generation is where my proofs start to lag. William Hollingsworth states in his portrait in Portrait and Biographical Record of Iroquois County, Illinois 1894 that: "his father, Joseph Hollingsworth was a native of South Caroline and married Hannah Hawkins." Census records from Illinois and Indiana seem to bear this out. "his death, (Joseph's) occurred about 1852" in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. This again is entirely possible but I can't prove it.

Just wondered if there were other ancestors of Joseph and Hannah Hawkins Hollingsworth who had run across more definitive proof linking this Joseph to Joseph and Margaret Wright Hammer Hollingsworth.

Well...... I have sent my check, have airline tickets and have rented a car......I am coming and am so excited. I will be in Newberry on the 15th and fly out of Atlanta on the 20th. I am hoping to do a little research on some other South Carolina lines. I'm off tomorrow for a week in Wake Forest with grandchildren and maybe a little time in Raleigh searching for North Carolina clues on my husbands side.
