Jacob Hollingsworth was born CA 1742 in Chester, Pennsylvania, and his will was proved in Franklin Co, Georgia, Nov. 24, 1822, having been written May 15, 1815.

He may have been living in Franklin County, Tenn. when he died, as he purchased land there in 1816.  His sons Benjamin & James also moved there in 1815. James died there in 1824 and Benjamin removed to Benton Co, Ala about 1835.

He was the son of Samuel Hollingsworth & wife, Barbara Shewin of Chester, Pennsylvania.  He married Mary Brooks about 1766 in Pennsylvania. 
(LDS Records)

 Jacob resided in Baltimore, Md. with his mother for a time, who had remarried to Philip Philips,  then removed to Guilford Co., North Carolina prior to 1772, according to deed records, as he purchased 100 Acres on Deep River from John Pickrell on March 9, 1772.  Jacob appears on the 1779 Tax List for Randolph Co., NC., which was cut off from Guilford Co. in that year.  Jacob & Mary sold their property in Randolph Co, North Carolina on Oct 9, 1788.

His family resided in Burke Co, NC in the 1790 census, & then Buncombe Co*, apparently while he was building Hollingsworth Fort for protection from the Indians on the wild frontier, and soon after appear in the Franklin Co., Georgia records.
 (*which was cut off from Burke & Rutherford Counties in 1791.)
 He sold his land in Buncombe Co. NC  in 1796, already being a resident of Franklin Co, Ga.

 It was here he built Hollingsworth Fort, probably with some assistance from his brother Samuel, which appears on a 1793 Georgia map, and still stands today (Now in Banks County, which was cut off from Franklin & Habersham Counties, Habersham being created from Franklin County and Indian lands in 1818)

Jacob's father, in his will of 1751 Chester, Pa. stipulated his sons, Jacob &  Samuel, were to be apprenticed to their Uncle Henry Green, to learn the trade of carpentry.  He apparently learned his trade well!

This family was of the Society of Friends (Quaker)  religion, in Pennsylvania, but I have found no records in Hinshaw on this family in North Carolina, or after they removed to Georgia.  Of course some of the early records have been lost.

 Mary Brooks, wife of Jacob Hollingsworth, was the daughter of (Thomas ?)  & Mary Brooks, of Frederick Co, Virginia.  She is named in the Will of her mother dated July 9, 1786 and proved April, 1787.  She was born about 1748, and was living at the time Jacob made his will in 1815.
