c. 1832 – 1907
The family: Daniel, David, William and George Hollingshead stand on Howard's and the atlas's first-settler lists, on sections 33 and 26. Howard's Solomon Moon sketch fills the father in: Daniel Hollingshead, born in Kentucky, married Margaret McConnel of Pennsylvania, brought the family to St. Joseph County about 1832 and entered a government farm in Penn Township where there were "no mills — obliged to pound their corn into flour"; he died at 73, a Methodist and a Democrat. His daughter Charlotte (b. Ohio, 31 October 1831, youngest of ten children) married Solomon Moon — the marriage that ties this family into the Moon article's largest conflict. The 1875 directory lists David Hollingshead (section 23) and Joseph Hollingshead (section 5), both of Jackson County, Ohio, settled 1832 — Joseph is a fifth Hollingshead name in the township record, his relation to the four brothers unstated in any source read and not assigned here. Daniel Hollingshead the younger stands in Howard's Penn burial roll, a Civil War generation's name in the Wars file. A Howard vol. 2 Hollingshead sketch of the family's own may exist unswept; it stands named in the closing register.
