Our Frederick Hollingsworth (1802-1869) had a "much involved" family, 
bloodwise, or genetically speaking. His brother John was married to a 
first cousin, Susannah Hollingsworth from across the fields in Ballvcanew.
All of the Hollinsworths (sic) were well-to-do Protestant farmers, before 
and after the Irish Rebellion of 1798. They - their social or economic 
class - represented what the late Irish drunk, Brendan Behan (d 1964) 
called the "wealthy Episcopalian farmers." But the word "Episcopalian"
is totally foreign to Irish Protestantism, it must have been Brendan's 
term when he was here in the States, for we often want to force our 
Americanisms on Europe, you know. (In Ireland, generally, a "Protestant" 
is not a term used to describe just any sect opposed to the Roman 
Catholic Sect. It is specifically applied to the Church of Ireland, 
formerly Established. Presbyterians are called just that - the Protestants
used to call Presbyterians "Protestant Dissenters" - and other denomina-
tions retain their own names. But 'Episcopal' is an Americanism, although 
now, UK folk recognise the term quicker than tbey used to do.)
    As such, close and repeated intermarriage begot a sort of pooling 
of wealth.  George Kidd was one of the many children of old Thomas Kidd, 
dubbed "Thomas a-hundred" by the late Professor Franklin Kidd of 
Cambridge University, England. "He walked round his farm the day he 
died at age a 100," it was always said. George married Martha Hollins-
worth, later Hollingsworth, from Cranacrower, the daughter of my Fred-
erick's uncle William Hollinsworth (d. 1827). Whatever wealth George 
Kidd had inherited was supplemented by the fortune which Martha had 
brought to the union.
    But George Kidd was an investor	and apparently backed or sank,
a boodle of his upper crust money in the wrong scheme and went belly
up. In a letter written on July 26, 1849, by Henry Lee of Carnew Par-
ish, County Wexford/Wicklow border region, to Thomas Kidd in Clermont 
County, Ohio, brother to George Kidd, we have only these portions ex-
tracted for us 20 years ago:
         "Dear Thomas, The government was good and prosperous under
         George III, until the subjects of the Pope of Rome were admit-
         ted into the Councils of the Crown ... Uncle George Kidd is 
         leaving Ireland - his family (to go out) later. He went secur-
         ity for some people and lost it... Richard Smith is employed 
         as a newspaper officer at a good salary in Cincinnati..."
Smith, whose mother was one of the Kidds, later was editor of the 
Cincinnati Gatette and the fabled Price Current. Another letter, this 
one from Thomas Kidd, P.O.Bantam, Ohio, to John Kidd, Sr., at Ovid, same
state	- his brother - dated Dec 12, 1849, reads in part:
         "You will be surprised that George was obliged to run away 
         from executions, one from Captain somebody in Gorey, and an-
         other from young Goodisson that keeps a loaning bank at 50%.
         A son to John Ho11ingsworth of Ballinakill is in Cincinnati,
         at present, who came out with George's family, as (George)
         was obliged to come away before them."
And a letter of April 11, 1850 from Samuel Lee at Barnadown (townland), 
County Wexford, to Alice Kidd his niece in Ovid, Ohio, (after telling 
of her grandfather Thomas Kidd's death at 100 "two weeks ago," says 
"Your uncle George left with family, we thought in an embarrassed
