About Me
I'm creating a 1st person impression based upon my 1st cousin 8x removed CAPTAIN THOMAS HOLLINGSWORTH, who in the late 17th century sailed with Captain Wake on the Susannah into the Indian Ocean and raided with Henry Avery's pirate fleet.
Later Hollingsworth joined Avery onboard the Fancy, sailing back to New Providence, and as captain of the Issac, he sailed back to Dublin, Ireland transporting 16 of Avery's crew. Captain Hollingsworth was last seen in the historical record being chased up the Dublin River by a French privateer.
It is believed he went to ground in the Dublin area, and was progenitor of the Hollingsworths of Arklow, County Wicklow & County Wexford lines.
I'm always on the lookout for any additional info on Hollingsworth or Captain Wake, no matter how trivial, to flesh out my persona.
