A lot of the information about Valentine and his children and grandchildren is from the Hollingsworth Register published for many years by Harry Hollingsworth--starting in April, 1965. Harry was a careful researcher and a Hollingsworth family history guru. He suggests Valentine's parents as Henry and Katheran Hollinworth (sic), both born ca 1600. Valentine and his son Thomas probably came to America on the ship "Antelope" in December, 1682, and settled in Delaware. Another son, Henry, came on the ship "Lion" (sometimes spelled "Lyon") in October, 1683, and settled in Pennsylvania. All were prominently identified with William Penn and his Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers.

In addition to the genealogical report displayed here, another current source of information on this family is a file in the Personal Ancestry Format prepared by Richard Hollingsworth <dickinenon@aol.com>. He has a large data base containing 25,153 individuals and 8,586 marriages in GEDCOM format on floppy disk, as well as a printed booklet. That data is the basis for this report, and reflects the status of the file as of April 24, 1999. The file is expanding every day.

We have an organization established in 1993 called "The Descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth, Sr. Society." The President is Robert S. Coleman <RSherillC@aol.com>. He is also the editor of a quarterly publication called the "Hollingsworth Heritage," which provides news about the Society and recent genealogical research. Members of the Society also share family information via email and annual family reunions.

One reference says after Joseph died, Isaac Parkins took as wards, the children
of Joseph and Elizabeth. Elizabeth then remarried a "John Rentfrow , Jr."
Hopewell MM minute dated 13 Nov 1733 noted the marriage, so she must have
been alive about that time, and died probably after 1733, date unknown to me.
Another reference indicates she died "after 1733, location not known."
