The Hollingworths were early settlers of America, coming to Maryland in 1650. They worked their way to Gasconade County, Missouri, USA, by 1840, coming through Ashe County, North Carolina; Clay County, Kentucky, and Morgan County, Indiana.
William Hollingsworth (ca 1770-1843) and his wife, Rhoda (Reed?) (CA 1770-1873) homesteaded 80 acres 16 Dec. 1840 in Sec. 26, Twp. 42, R. 4 and 120 acres 1 March 1841 in Sec. 35, Twp. 42, R. 5. Rhoda is said to have been full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Several of their 12 children either came along with them or came shortly thereafter. Those known were: Isam, wife Nancy; Isaac, wife Polly; James, wife Martha (Patsey) Read; Rhoda, husband William Thomas; Susan, husband Larkin Henson; Charity, husband James Henson; and Mary (Polly), husband William McDaniel.
The change in spelling from Hollingsworth to Hollandsworth occurred after 1840. Some descendants have returned to the original spelling. Most Hollandsworths in Gasconade County are descendants of William and Rhoda, but there is a possibility that some could be descended from William's brother Isaac, who died in Morgan County, Indiana, in 1840.
