Samantha is the sister of my GGgrandmother, Mary E.. Mary Married Ithiel Johnson and thier first born was Abner Hollingsworth Johnson, my Ggrandfather. I have the 1860 census in PDF if you need it. Here is some on her family.
Richard Johnson
ABNER HOLLINGSWORTH, farmer; P. O., Marits; was born in Center Co., Pa., June 9, 1809; is a son of Isaiah and Jane (Morrison) Hollingsworth. Abner was the sixth of a family of ten children; his father died in Pennsylvania, in the year 1829. There being no estate to divide among the heirs, each one of the children, through the force of circumstances, were left to do for themselves. At the age of 21, Abner was married to Nancy Coleman, whose birth-place was Lycoming Co., Pa.; she was born in Feb. 1806, and is a daughter of Hugh Coleman; after their marriage he worked four years as farm laborer, and then came to Richland Co., where he was engaged in tilling the soil; in 1838, he came into this settlement, and purchased eighty acres, only five acres being cleared; but the timber soon disappeared before his ax, and it was not long ere he had a good farm, and well improved, consisting of 164 acres, which he has acquired himself, and has no one to thank for substantial favors, in t!
he way of gifts or endowment. In 1873, while Mrs. Hollingsworth was on a visit to Iowa, she passed into the spirit land, leaving as living records behind her the following children-Samantha, Jane E., Mary E., Coleman, George M., Hezron and Lafayette. In 1874, he was married to Mrs. Amanda Bending, whose maiden name was Wright; they have no children.
