Abraham HOLLINGSWORTH ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8}

  General Notes:

Abraham moved first to Cecil Co., MD. He is probably the Abraham Hollingsworth along with Stephan Hollingsworth whose land was called "Partner's Parcel" and adjoined his father, Thomas's land known as "Jacob's Adventure." He moved to Winchester in 1733 after buying 582 acres from Alexander Ross near Winchester, VA in 1732. He named it "Abraham's Delight". Their home began as a log cabin. It was located on a creek and springs which enabled him to build the first flour mill in the county. In 1734 when his son George marries Hannah in Nottingham M.M., Maryland, Abraham's location is listed on the north side of Overton in the colony of Virginia. Abraham signed a petition in June of 1738-9 to request the clearing of a road in Orange Co., Virginia. (C-956)

In his will dated Sept. 23, 1748 he bequests out 1232 acres of land, 1050 of which were on Opequon Creek near Winchester which was called "Abraham's Delight". He had obviously added to it's size over the years. (C-1546)
