Contents |
Ann was born 1628 in Tandgree, Kilmore, Ireland. Ann was the daughter of Nicholas Ree and Ann Ree. Ann married Valentine Hollingsworth, son of Henry Hollingsworth of Bellenickcrannell [Ballyvickcrannell], in 1655. Valentine and Ann were Friends (Quakers). They had four children. Ann died in 1671 at 42 years of age. She was buried in the Friends Burial Ground in Moyraverty, about 2 miles northeast of the farm at Ballyvickcrannell. Valentine subsequently married Ann Calvert. Valentine, his second wife Ann, and their children emigrated to America.
According to the Lurgan Quaker meeting records, Ann Ree married Valentine [Vallantine] Hollingsworth on the 7th day of the 4th month of 1655.[5] This date likely corresponds to 7 June 1655 in modern calendar,[6] as at that time Quakers counted months starting with March = 1. (Note that many sources have interpretted this date as 7 Apr 1655.[3])
They likely married in the Lurgan Meeting House, in County Armagh, as marriages were affirmed at Quaker meetings. (Some sources have suggested it took place in Down County, Parish of Shankill, Ireland.[6])
Ann died on the 1st day of the 2nd month in 1671, according to the Lurgan Quaker Meeting records.[1] Since Quakers counted March as the first month, this corresponds to 1 Apr 1671 in modern calendar (1 Feb 1671 is reported in some sources[3][6]). She is assumed to have died on the family property in Ballyvickcrannell, County Armagh, Ireland.
The original information on Ann Rees is largely from Lurgan Quaker Meeting records (County Armagh, Ireland), which have been transcribed and circulated through various other sources.[5] The following transcription is from The Hollingsworth Register, Vol 1, Number 1 and Vol 5, Number 1.[1][7]
"Vallantine Hollingsworth son of Henry Hollingsworth of Bellenickcrannell, in the parish of Sego and County of Ardmagh and of Katheran his wife, was borne at Bellenickcranell, aforesaid, about the sixth month in the yeare 1632, and upon the seaventh day of the fowerth month - Anno Domini, 1655, he tooke to wife Ann the daughter of Nicolass Rees of Tanragee in the County of Ardmagh aforesd. and of Ann his wife who was borne in Tanragee aforesaid about the yeare, 1628, and had by her children borne as followeth. - - - -"

"Ann Hollingsworth (wife to Vollantine Hollingsworth) of Ballyvickarannell deceased the first day of the second month ANNO DOM: 1671, and was buried in ye burying place of ye people of god at Monreauerty."[7] (Note: "Monreauerty" is now called Moyraverty, about two miles northeast of the farm at Ballyvickcrannell. Most of the Friends of Seagoe Meeting were buried there.)[7]
Note 1: Marriage of James Greer and Eleanor Rea on 1.12.1675, was witnessed by Ann Hollingsworth & Mary Rea. Mary Rea was the sister of Valentine's first wife, Ann Rea. Ann Calvert was the 2d wife of Valentine (who did not sign). This shows a friendship between the two families.[1]
Note 2: John Hollingsworth visited the cemetery where Ann Ree was buried in 2005 and gave the following description in an email:

1) Would be good for a Quaker expert to check my interpretation of the marriage and death months. I've used "likely correct" language for now, but maybe it can be worded stronger as quite a few sources quote the "wrong" dates. 2) I've kept most of the original references, but I think they just retransmit the same source info. Maybe they can be moved to "See also" and cleanup the Source list a little. 3) Some hint that marriage was in County Down. Seems unlikely but I have not tried to follow that thread to see its basis. 4) Has son Valentine. He needs to be moved to second wife Ann. I have contacted PM.

I would be willing to clean up this profile, but as it is a project-protected profile I am checking first if there is a reason not to. My intent would be to keep all the sourced information, but group it together, as well as remove duplicate sources and extraneous GEDCOM text.
