John Hollingshead, the immigrant, and his wife Grace, came from London, England, some time during the year 1678 and settled first near Salem, removing thence in 1682 to the vicinity of Rancocoas, and from thence to Burlington township, where he died in the latter part of 1699. By his Will he nominated his wife, Grace as executrix. So near as is known the children of John and Grace Hollingshead were:

1. John Hollingshead born in England about 1669; md 1693 Agnes, daughter of Thomas Hackney. John was an early Sheriff of Burlington County, and the same office was afterward held by his son, John. Children of John & Agnes: Thomas, John, William, Grace and Agnes.
2. William Hollingshead born in England and came to New Jersey with his parents. Four of his children are mentioned in their Grandfather's Will: Grace, Elizabeth, George and Sarah; but there was also a son Jonathan and probably others.
