William Hollingsworth[1] was born in 1778 in Ashe County, North Carolina, and passed away in 1843.[2] He is the son of Vincent Hollingsworth and Mary Beasley.
He was one of five brothers and five sisters. His brothers were James, John, Beasley, and Isaac; his sisters were Mrs. Lemuel (Martha) Lunsford, Mrs. William Hubbard, Mrs. Stephen (Winnifred "Winny") Reed, Mrs. William (Susannah) Cooper, and Mrs. Levi Potter.
He married Rhoda Patsy Reed.
Their identified children are Nancy Jane, James Thomas, and Lydia.
In 1793, William's father, Vinson Hollonsworth, received a state grant of 320 acres located on the North Fork of New River. In 1808, William bought 135 acres of this land from his father. The estate record named below was for the sale of 190 acres located on the North Fork of New River.
Vincent lived in Wilkes (later Ashe) County, North Carolina, from the 1780s until his death in 1816. (Notes for Vincent from: http://www.angelfire.com/in/JMaxwell/ )
He died 29 Oct 1843 in Gasconade, Missouri. [3]
This is the only William Hollingsworth to be found on censuses in Missouri.
A copy of the will of Vincent Hollingsworth needs to be transcribed in this profile. It is mentioned in the Gasconade County Historical Society's 1979 book, and is referenced here, but the entire text would be an excellent edition to this profile.
The early years of Vincent Hollinsworth of Wilkes/Ashe County, North Carolina are yet to be discovered.
