Research Notes

Hollingsworth Vandever (1730-1820) stayed in the Kent County, Delaware, area until the late 1760s. He is believed to have moved to Rowan County, North Carolina by 1772 and he appears on the tax list in that location in 1778. He subsequently moved to Pendleton District, South Carolina by about 1791, where he remained until his death in 1820.

29 May 1760: Hollingsworth Vanderford [sic] of Kent County, Delaware, yeoman, deeded land to Mathew Vanderford of the same location. George Vanderford, father of the above parties, did bequeath to his three sons, Hollingsworth, John and Mathew, a tract of land containing 150 acres. Hollingsworth was transferring his portion of this inheritance to his brother Mathew. The deed was signed by Holingsworth [sic] Vanderveer [sic] by his mark and Noriah Vanderveer by her mark.

22 June 1763, Hollingsworth Vanderford [sic] of Kent County, Delaware, deeded land to Jame Gorell of the town of Dover, Kent County, Delaware. There is no dower release included in this transaction. Noriah may have died by this time.
