• Notes

  Thomas was a member of the Provincial Assembly. He helped organize the Center MM in 1687. He married his second wife at the home of her stepfather, Nathaniel Park. He is in the Quaker records when his sister Mary was about to marry her. He paid 4 pounds to his sister for the care of her children. She is return gave him a mare whose increase were to further the support of her children. This was required in the case of a second marriage where children were involved. (C-956) Thomas purchased land in Cecil Co., Maryland known as "Jacob's Adventure" in 1713 but never lived on it. He willed this land to son Jacob on the 10th month, 30 day of 1725. Jacob sold this land in 1788. Thomas also sold 400 acres to John Tho mson in New Castle Co., PA on Jan. 18, 1725. (C-956) According to the book "Hopewell Friends History, 1734-1934", Thomas was killed by a bison near North Mountain, VA in 1733 when visiting his son Abraham. This has been discerned to be in error as far as date goes. He died at the age of 66 and is buried in the Center MM Friends Burial Ground in Christiana Hundred which is now a part of Delaware. (C-956) The transcription of his will is as follows: Chris. Hd. Oct. 30, 1725. Apr. 13, 1727. South Carolina. I.186. Wife, Grace; sons, Abraham, Thomas, Jacob, and Joseph.; dau., Elizabeth Strode; dau., Hannah Dixson; dau. Sarah Discon, Grace Hollingwroth, William and Litisher Obery. Exc. wife, Grace Hollingsworth; son, Thomas Hollingsworth. (C-234)
