children and one great-grandson. (Xenia Gazette, Xenia, Ohio, Oct., 1974, thanks also to Martha Hollingsworth, Jamestown, Ohio. As you can see, this is the Joseph Foster Hollingsworth who died at age 92, obit on pape 26. This means the couple lived to see their 65th marriage an- niversary in 1989, which is a record for the Hollingsworths, we think. Wonderful.

William Hollingsworth in Kuwait
An article in the Post-Herald, Birmingham, Alabama, contributed by our
cousin Mrs. June Farrell of Homewood, Ala., shows that William Holl-
ingsworth, a US diplomat, is restrained from leaving Kuwait, although
his 62-year-old wife, Nancy, was on her way back to Huntsville after a
flight home from Turkey to Atlanta. Their son, Ron, spoke to report-
ers of his mother being instrumental in helping some people escape
the clutches of potential Anti-Christ, Saddam Hussein, using the fami-
ly car and driver. These included those with no diplomatic status, or
credentials. The Hollingsworths went to Kuwait less than a year ago.
Ron Hollingsworth had no contact with his parents after the invasion
by Iraq (ancient Mesopotamia, the site of the first military ventures
of Noah's family) on August 2nd. Ron is confident that his father is
capable of handling his hostage status if necessary. Ironically, the
son was made aware of the invasion two days before the news broke. He
heard the gunfire in the background while speaking with his parents
on the telephone. But his parents joked it away, thinking it would
"take care of itself."
This 'raises the question' (hate that ciiche!) how come the U.S.
State Department didn't break the news two days earlier? Did they also
hope it would just take care of itself? Or was it just another cover-
up, so common from the big guys in that city on the Potomac (which
comedian Red Skelton in this 1940s radio program, called "the only
insane asylum run by the inmates")?
Last heard of, Mr Hollingsworth was left in Baghdad, where he and Nan-
cy were shuttled just before the women and children left for Turkey.
It appears pretty certain that Margaret Calvert, sister to Anne, sec-
ond wife of Valentine Hollingsworth, Sr., and soon-to-be wife, her-
self of Valentine's son Thomas Hollingsworth (not a son of Anne Cal-
vert, of course), sailed out of Dublin, Ireland, and landed in Phila-
delphia 14th day of 8th month (October) 1683. The Pennsylvania Geneal-
ogical Magazine, Vol. 24, p. 93, note 88, shows 'Margaret Colvert
(sic), late of Dublin came in ditto ship,' that is, the Lion of Liver-
pool. As many of you know, Henry Hollingsworth, son of Valentine, was
also aboard that ship as an indentured servant. Margaret had seeming-
ly paid for her passage. Her name is not in the servants' column.
