Henry Holland

From Genealogies of Pennsylvania Families, Vol.II; Robert Middleton of Maryland and Some of His Descendants by John Goodwin Herndon, Ph.D, F.A.S.G., F.G.S.P.

He (Hugh Teares) is known to have married twice. His first wife was Ruth Holland whose sister Elizabeth Holland was the second wife of Henry Hawkins.The mention of "Holland sheets which I have with Mr. Hawkins" in the Will of Hugh Teares is interesting and important. They were not Dutch sheets, but were family linen. The father of Ruth and Elizabeth Holland was probably named Henry Holland, and he may have been, as one student of family records claimed *10 "a grandson of Philemon Holland (1552-1637) who was called 'translator-general' in his age."

Careful: no known relationship to the Howland family of Fen Stanton & Duxbury, Plymouth Colony. Only one matching tree has this right.

Ruth Holland was born ABT 1655. She married Hugh Tear ABT 1675 in Charles Co., MD, He was born ABT 1655.

“The father of Ruth and Elizabeth Holland was probably Henry Holland b:29 Nov 1629 in London, England and died 13 Jul 1667 in Charles County, MD. Henry was born to Guy b:1610 and Ann Holland and was baptized 29 Nov 1629 at St. Michael, Cornhill, London, England. He married Alice Strange b:1635 in England, daughter of Thomas Strange (1615-1676) and Ruth Wynn (1615-1675).
