Henry witnessed several marriages in County Armagh, Ireland starting at age 20 in 1678. He signed his name Henry Hollingsworth. His grandfather, Henry, signed his name asHen: Hollensworth. Henry made a couple trips to the American colonies, one in 1683. He made this trip on the "Lyon" as an indentured servant to Robert Turnerof Dublin for two years starting Oct. 8, 1685. He apparently traveled back andforth to Ireland as he is a witness to several marriages from Oct. 1685 through 1688. He is during this same time period in the Newark Kennett Monthly Meeting Records in what was then Pennsylvania. He was in them in the 9th mo., 1687 when he declared his intentions to return to Ireland to marry and when he was appointed to check on the order of the Whitely Creek Monthly Meeting. On the 12th mo, 4th day, 1687, Newark decided to grant him a certificate to Ireland to achieve just that. In 1688 he married Lydia Atkinson in Co. Armaugh, IRL. The same month in which he married, he probably assisted with the sale of his father's lands to Rev. Henry Jenney. In Pennsylvania, Henry was known for his surveying skills. He even helped layout the current city of Philadelphia. He also worked as a blacksmith and home builder according to his son Zebulon. Like his father, Valentine, he was a member of the Assembly under Penn's government, but for just one session in 1695. He became a large landowner in Chester Co., PA and New Castle Co., DEL. In 1697, he is likely the Henry Hollingsworth that was a witness in a deed in Chester Co., PA between John Simcock and Henry Swift. (C-2136) He was the coroner for Chester County and Clerk of the Court from 1700-1708. It is thought that he converted back to the Protestant Episcopal Church of this grandfather, while Lydia remained a Quaker. He also was known to be a vegetarian.He moved to the Elk River in what was Cecil Co., (now Elkton), MD in 1711/12 where he was a surveyor for that county. Lord Baltimore appointed him to this position on Mar. 9, 1712. He died between Feb. 23 and March 12, 1721 in Cecil Co., MD. (C-956, 1448)

He immigrated in 1683 to Upland (now Chester), Delaware. Hollingsworth was accompanied by his second wife, Ann Calvert; by his daughter, Mary, and her husband, Thomas Connaway; by his four children from his second wife; and by an indentured servant, John Musgrave. No records have been found to specify the vessel on which the Hollingsworths came to the Delaware river. It was probably several months after William Penn arrived on the "Welcome." Hollingsworth settled his familyon a "plantation" of about one thousand acres. He called the plantation "New Worke" or "New Ark." It was located on Shellpot Creek about 5 miles north-east of Wilmington, near the present-day community of Brandywine. Hollingsworth was instrumental in the founding of a meeting, building of a meeting house, and creating a burying-place. The location is now known as "Newark Union" church, off of Baynard Blvd. It should not be confused with the monthly meeting in the town of Newark. He died on Oct 13 1710 in New Castle Co., Delaware. He was buried inNewark Union Friends Meeting Burial Ground, Brandywine, DE. The cemetery is often erroneously said to be located in the town of Newark, Delaware. It can be found by taking Foulk Road north from US 202 to Shipley Road and then south to Baynard Blvd and east to Newark Union Public Road, where a Delaware State historical marker describes Hollingsworth's plantation. The burying ground is adjacent to an abandoned church up the road. He was a Quaker.8,9 The Hollingsworths were among the earliest members of the Lurgan meeting, which was the first Quakermeeting in Ireland, founded by William Edmundson and Richard Clayton.

The Hollingsworth name is an early Saxon name originating around 1022 when this family moved into northeast Cheshire, England and purchased an estate named Hollingsworth Manor. The name means a "Farm of Holly Trees". The Doomsday survey made during the Norman Conquests lists this manor as lying on the edge of a great woods at Macclesfiel. A visitation by an official herald in 1580 included the gentry, John Hollingsworth, Gentleman and Robert Hollingsworth of Hollinsworth. A further record of the time period states that Robert of Hollingsworth Hall is of whom the family descends. He was listed as the Magistrate for the counties of Cheshire and Lancaster. The church and hall belonging to this family that contain the Hollingsworth Coat of Arms is still standing. The last family member to own the hall, Capt. Robert Hollingsworth died in1865. The motto included was "Learn to suffer what must be borne." Henry was probably born in England. Wolfram states that he was said to be born in Cheshire, England to be exact. He was in an English militia and went with them to the Ulster Plantation in Ireland for the purpose of planting. This activity was often arranged by the "undertakers" or landed gentry between 1609 and 1630. Henry is listed in the 1630 muster roll for Onealland Barony, Ulster Plantation in County Armagh. The terms "sword and calleuer (caliver)" appear after his name telling what arms he owned. This suggests that he was a man of more than average means. The caliver was a calibrated gun for which standard bullets could be made.He actually lived on Richard Cope's half of the 2000 acre estate. He, wife Catherine and family might have returned to England during the 1641 Irish Rebellion. In 1632, Henry received 120 acres of land in the Co. Armagh. Sometime between 1641 and 1660 during the Irish Rebellion, the the Blackers took possession ofit. His son, Valentine, legally took issue with the Blackers ownership of the land in 1674, and was favorably received. A semi-shared arrangement of the landoccured. Henry is listed as lately deceased in an Oct. 27, 1675 record around this event. Previous to that he was a witness to a marriage in 1671 in the Lurgan Friends Book. (C-956) Some theorize that Henry Hollingsworth was killed in the mass murders of the Irish Rebellion and that the Henry in th 1671 and 1674 records are referring to a Henry Hollingsworth who was married to an Elizabeth and settled in County Down before 1693. It is Farmer's contention that it is likely that Henry and his family fled to England during the massacres of the Rebellion. They lived on the east side of the Bann River from where many were able to escape. Farmer says our Henry lived through this and witnessed an Oct. 8, 1671 marriage in Co. Armagh, IRL and died shortly before the 1675 deed enactment. His reasoning is given in detail in his book: "In America Since 1607". (C-193) As to Henry's place of origin in England, Henry Hollingsworths have only been found in Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Although we only know of one of Henry's children, Valentine, there were other Hollingsworths in Ireland that could be his children. Gent. Henry Hollingsworth of King Hill, in County Down (b. 1635-1643), or John, Hugh or Francis Hollinsworth serving in the army in 1644 in Dublinwere all possible sons of our Henry. (C-956)
