David McKizzie Hollingsworth

              "From MY Branch to Yours"


        David McKizzie Hollingsworth was the 10th and last child of Harvey Gerome Hollingsworth and Mary Louisa Sarrett.He was born on Feb.23, 1873 in Benton Co., TN.
        David was known by his nick-name, Mack.
        (His middle name of McKizzie has always puzzled me, I've been unable to discover the origin of this name. McKizzie is neither a Hollingsworth nor a Sarrett family name. I have often wondered if it was originally McKenzie.)

        David married I. Velia Vick on May 17, 1896 in Benton Co., TN by J.M. Castile,JP. Velia was born on Oct.10, 1878 in Benton Co., TN to Edwin Crayton Vick and Melinda Tennessee Wood.

        The Hollingsworth and Vick families were long time residents of the BeaverDam Community in Benton Co., TN.
        Mack and Velia are my,Doris M. Hightower's great grandparents.

        Mack and Velia had 8 children.
