Dear Mr. Hollingsworth: 13 February, 1966 My father's name was Francis Marion Hollingsworth. He was born in Bibb County, Georgia in 1861 during the Civil War. If he had any bro- thers or sisters, he never revealed it to any of us. His parents died when be was about five years old. He was raised as an orphan and did not attend school at a11. In March of 1880, he married Allie Johnson. My father had eleven children, three girls and eight boys. He died on 17 May, 1954 at the age of 92. I also have two brotbers who are dead. One died at the age of eleven months and the other died at the age of sixty years. My mother is still living, and will be 92 in May. In Eastman, Georgia, there is a Henry Hollingsworth who works with the Georgia Power Company. He is no kin to me, but he was also raised here in Macon, Georgia. His father was a 33rd degree Mason in one of the lodges here in Macon. He (his father) died about two years ago in Macon. Yesterday, I was talking with Grier F. Hollingsworth (107 George Drive, Warner Robins, Ga.) and he said that his aunt who lives in At- lanta has a book on the Hollingsworth ancestry that could help you. Her address is: Mrs. Robert Q. Hollingsworth, 1440 Ranier Falls Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia. During World War II, I was stationed in Manchester, England and there was a town named, Hollingsworth (sic: no - Hollingworth-Ed.), which is a suburb of Manchester. There is a Hollingsworth Hall in Winder, England, near Manchester (no: Hollingworth Hall - Ed.). I hope this will be of help to you and it is a pleasure to serve you. P.S. The Hollingsworth Candy Company of Augusta, Georgia is part of my ancestry also. Sincerely yours, B. F.

It is presented here to prevent the loss of the infor- mation. If there is a connection here with the James Hollingsworth in Macon in 1840, we don't know of it.
