1. John Hollingsworth, born 1 Janurary 1638: grew up in England during the Civil Wars, which ended with Oliver Cromwell in charge, and King Charles beheaded. Cromwell died in 1658, by which time John Hollingsworth was evidently already in Maryland, since he married there in 1659.
2. William Stinnett, born in Lincolnshire, England 1645: also was a child during the English Civil Wars, and immigrated to Maryland in 1661 after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. Maryland had been a refuge for Catholics and, because of the presence of both Catholics and protestants, Lord Baltimore and the General Assembly of Maryland had passed a religious toleration law in 1649. It is quite likely Stinnett is a French Huguenot name, and that the Stinnetts had fled to England when the Protestant Huguenots were persecuted in France, beginning in 1550. Indeed, the name is spelled as Stinnette in the census records for Macoupin County, which lends support to the idea that the Stinnett family were Huguenots and so had been forced to leave France, going first to England, and then later found the idea of a place with toleration laws especially appealing, and so decamped a strife torn England for the Colonies.
3. William Hollingsworth, born 1738 in Maryland: joined the Maryland troops in Queen Anne's County in 1776, and was thus a veteran of the Revolutionary War. His name is included on a muster roll produced in 1780 also, so he may have served throughout the war. While there were no battles in Maryland, troops from the Colony did serve with Washington, and evidently impressed him.
4. John Crum, born in the Rhineland 11 November 1760: brought as a small child to Virginia sometime before 1766, and as a young man headed west, marrying and starting a family in Louisville Kentucky in 1796, then settling in Indiana in the early 1800s. He is reported to have drowned in the Ohio River on Christmas Day, 1820.
5. James Izatt, born 18 September 1866 in Dunfermline, Scotland: Dunfermline is the ancient capital of Scotland, and also the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie. James Izatt immigrated to Illinois as a young man, where he met and married the Irish immigrant Nora Mullins sometime before 1892. They moved temporarily back to Scotland during the Pullman Strike of 1894, returned to the US around 1900. The strikers had been let by Eugene V. Debs, who went to prison for his part in the strike, and his legal work was carried out by Clarence Darrow, eventually the case went to the Supreme Court, which upheld the conviction. Debs became a leader of the Socialist Party, and a candidate for President. I'm told that James Izatt was a staunch supporter of Debs, and voted socialist for the rest of his life. As well as voting Socialist, James Izatt was a free-thinker, however his Irish Catholic wife prevailed at home, and their children were raised in the Church.
