(1) Joseph Hollinsworth was a soldier in the American Revolution, apropos of the above tax lists, from Amherst County, Virginia, according to William Montgomery Sweeny's Amherst County in the Revolution, p. 43. (2) Isaac Hollenworth signed a petition dated 23 Nov 1782 of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Henry County against the division of the county, which appears to be an original signature. From Legislative petitions, Virginia State Library & Archives (Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 24 (l980) p. 87). (3) Zebu1on Hollingsworth was a witness with John Ryal, on 27 August, 1769, to a deed between Moses ?Cudsey of South Carolina, planter and Jacob Thomson of St. George Parish, Georgia, laborer, for 100 acres in Saint George Parish. From Book V, p. 338, Colonial Records, at the State Dept of Archives, Atlanta (Georgia Gen. Mag. July 1968 p. 1977). (4) Dr. Mark Hollingsworth investigated the components of a military nerve gas in Medicine Hat (Alberta, Canada) victims. Two men were hospitalized in a nerve gas accident, it was revealed, two years after the fact! (Looks like Canada is getting like the U.S.A. with coverups, eh what?) From The Edmonton Journal, Fri. June 24, 1988, sent to us by Cousin Clare Hollingsworth of Edmonton. He further notes that Dr. Mark Hollingsworth is Chemistry Professor at the University of Edmonton, but relationship, if any, not known. (5) The London Sunday Times, 10 Apr 1988, P. A-13, cols. 2-3, sent in by Professor Richard Eaton, of Morgantown, West Virginia, has a short piece with a photo, of Olly Hollingsworth, of South London. She is 78 and lives in the borough of Wandsworth, and is a pensioner's campaigner there. A recent rise in the pension has practically done her no good. She is, as she calls herself, a "one penny pensioner," for, with the rise of all other necessaries in Britain, she, in effect, has achieved about 1 p. increase. Others are a lot worse off. (6) Joseph Hollingsworth received a land grant of 360 acres in what is now Prince William County, Virginia, 20 April 1742, corner of Amos Janney, near the south fork of Kittockton, and joining William Fairfax. (Book E, P. 453 of Grants by the Proprietior of Northern Neck, Virginia, gleaned from our work dated 2 Jan 1968!) This must be the Joseph3 Hollingsworth who married Martha Houghton, whom we treated at great length in HR in the 1960s, to make up for Stewart's book having left out all his progeny after writing "More of Joseph later" on p. 2-B. (7) Cousin Clare Hollingsworth, Edmonton, transmits a cutting from the Toronto Star, sent first to him by his brother Ralph, of Toronto. Dated 8 Apr 1988, it is a 6-column-deep story with photo, by Vit Wagner of the Star. Titled 'Slave to history--and in a hurry,' it is about playwright Michael Hollingsworth, whose name has appeared here often. It seems Hollingsworth has written a large cycle of plays. The 4th part thereof opened Wednesday 13 April at the Toronto Free Theatre, 26 Berkeley Street. It is part of the larger play cycle whose basic title is "History of the Village of the Small Huts," a literal translation of the meaning of the Indian word 'Canada.' The four parts so far written: New France, The British, The Mackenzie/Papineau Rebellion and this year's offering, Confederation and Riel, which only concludes the first section! Some time about the year 1997, Hollingsworth expects to catch up with the 20th Century! If he decides to live that long, and fulfill this somewhat daunting dream, a full presentation of all up to that time would run for 10 nights! Political conventions
