Titus Hollinger was the earliest newcomer bearing this christian
name,
likely sailed to the New World in an era, the records whereof are
not
found/ or have been destroyed, so believes our British researcher.
the
account of Titus , I confess, is found only on worthy hearsay. He
was
likely born about 1700/ Irish tradition makes him an "officer."
Alabama
records "Major Hollinger"/ Canadian & Ulstar tradition tell
of several
men..named Titus & Andrew in several generations, coming to
the New
World. Indeed our subject Titus, must have stepped ashore before
1750.
In 1750, in East Pernsboro, Cumberland
County.., Pennsylvanis, a tax
list o f the so-called Scotch-Irish colony shows, among many:
Samuel
Fisher, Titus Hollinger, Samuel McCormick...& others./note
Scotch-Irish
here means Lowland Scots & others British subjects who
had been living
in Ulster & had fled to New World. An old item in the Archives
tells of
the Prosprietaries' antagonism to them, holding them as being
non-farming folk; many of this colony migrated to the DSouth. Such
is a
vague acciount of this important settler.

James Washington Hollinger was born abt 1825 in
Cherokee Nation,
Georgia to James Hollinger. His mother is currently
unknown. He is
believed to be the great grandson of Titus Hollinger of Augusta,
Georgia.
He moved to Saline County (now Grant County) Arkansas sometime
in the
1840's. He bought 200 acres of land there for $25 from
the federal
government. It was beautiful land covered with pine
trees. There is
currently a stone monument standing at the site of the town
of Old
Belfast
(now extinct) in Grant County, Ark. Engraved on the
monuments are
the names
of the pioneer families who settled this area. Hollinger
is one of
the
names on the stone memorial erected by the descendants of
these
pioneers.
James was a farmer but probably of necessity also hunted for food.
The area
at the time was abundant with bear, wild turkey,
and razorback
hogs,
among others.
James married his neighbor Isaac Brumbalow's daughter Susan
on the
16th
day of September, 1852. They had children Archibald,
Susan E.,
born abt
1856, James Isaac, born in Nov. of 1859,
William, born abt 1865,
and
Ulysses S., born abt 1869.
James Washington served in the Civil War under both
the Confederate
and
Union flags. For the Confederacy he served in Co.
B of 1st Dobbin's
Arkansas Calvary Regiment. Some of the battles they were involved
in
were
the battle of Helena (July 4, 1863), the battle
of Little Rock
(September
10, 1863), and the battle of Pine Bluff (Oct 25,
1863). James
joined the
Union forces in February of 1864, at the age of 39.
His enlistment
papers
say he had blue eyes, black hair, a dark complexion
and was 6'1"
tall. He
served in the 4th Arkansas Calvary regiment, company
G. James is
believed
to have died sometime between the 1870 and 1880 census and
was buried
near
the Saline River. In 1892 James 200 acres was still
owned by his
widow
Susan and was appraised at $200.
As for the PA connection....I *think* Titus
and Mary Hollinger were
from or at least lived in PA. Their son, Titus, is reported
to have
followed his father to Georgia/The South.
I'm still working on where Rudophus and
his ancestors were from.
