General Notes: Husband - Henry Hollingsworth

---

He did not accompany his father and stepmother to the Delaware in 1682, but followed them in the "Lion, of Liverpoole," which arrived in the Delaware river, October 14, 1683. He came with Robert Turner, the Dublin merchant, who was an intimate friend of William Penn, and a large purchaser of land in Pennsylvania. With him, Henry Hollingsworth served two years, and then took up his residence with his father in New Castle County. He, however, returned to Ireland, as soon as he was comfortably established and married the sweetheart of his youth, and returned immediately with her to the Delaware and located near his father in New Castle County, which county he represented in the Provincial Assembly in 1695. At about this date, however, he seems to have located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, of which he was elected sheriff in the autumn of 1695. He was deputy-master of rolls there in 1700, and filled the offices of coroner, clerk of courts and deputy surveyor, being directed in 1699, in the latter capacity, by William Penn to survey a large tract of land, some 30,000 acres, for his daughter Letitia, later known as Letitia's Manor, located in Chester and New Castle counties. He removed to Elkton, Cecil county, Maryland, prior to May 9, 1712, on which date he was appointed by Lord Baltimore, surveyor for Cecil county. His book of surveys, containing a medley, of poetry, receipts, notes on astrology, alchemy and chemistry, in addition to his notes of surveys made, is still [1911] in existence, being lately owned by Ex-Governor Samuel Pennypacker. It indicates that he was a man of high scholastic attainments both in the sciences and classics, much of the miscellaneous matter being written in Latin.
