    It is our understanding that these items would be available in paper 
form, all the correspondence with the certificates and patents, full 
metes and bounds of the land, in the Archives at Annapolis, rather 
than at the Cecil County Court House, in Elkton. But copies of most of 
the data as given above would be in the volumes cited, at Elkton.
    This particular Stephen Hollingsworth is undoubtedly the son of 
Henry2 Hollingsworth (Valentine, Henry) and wife Lydia Atkinson daugh-
ter of Stephen Atkinson, after whom he was named. Abraham is obviously
the first cousin of Stephen, and son of Thomas2 and Margaret (Calvert) 
Hollingsworth. Zebulon was a brother to Stephen (except the 1803 entry,
which may be a late recording or another later Zebulon).

Letter to the Editor - May 8, 1972. Brady, Montana 59416.
Dear Mr Hollingsworth, I recently began research on my husband's Hol-
landsworth line. I ran an ad in the Genealogical Helper and Doris Davis
wrote to me. We found that our immediate ancestry didn't tie up and she
referred me to you. She said that you publish a Hollingsworth/Hollands-
worth periodical... My Hollandsworth research has been very trying.
No one seems to know much about my William Riley Hollandsworth born 3 
June 1833, Dubuque, Iowa. He ran away from home when he was 15 and went 
to San Francisco. From there he went to Oregon where he was married at 
Eugene 26 Dec 1867 to Rhoda Ann Heatherly. They had several children 
there and then moved to Colfax, Washington, where they had seven of 
their eleven children. One of whom is still living. He won't say much
about his father.
    William Riley Hollandsworth was a great drinker and gambler and 
the family has been very reluctant to talk about him. One thing they 
have told me is that he changed his name from Hollingsworth to Holland-
sworth sometime between the time he left home and when he was married. 
The reason given was that there were several families with the same
last name as his, so he	changed his. I am pretty sure if he did so, he
didn't do it legally...                     Sincerely,
                                            Sheryl Hollandsworth
                                            Mrs. Roy Hollandsworth
In two later letters (May 27, 1972; May 9, 1974), Mrs. Hollandsworth
sent a copy of a "mysterious census reading" as follows:
Microfilm roll No. 10 1874 page 116, Walla Walla, Whatcom, Whitman Cos

         Mary       Society, Inc.)    6,              Do.
         Louis                        4,              Do.
         Rosa                         2,              Do.
         Lily                         9 months        Do.

She believes this is not an 1874, but an 1882 census, due to internal
evidence, and other sources.  No Washington State Enumeration was known
to the Library of Congress in 1948 (State Censuses). Any guessers?
