Jephtha Y. HOLLINGSWORTH
Mary B. GORDON

Husband: Jephthah / Jephtha / Jeptha Y. HOLLINGSWORTH
Birth: Apr 1791, Greenville Dist., SC
Death said to be: 1870, Leavenworth Co., KS
Death based on censuses: 1870-80, probably in Prairie Twp., Wyandotte Co., KS
Disposition said to be: buried White Church Cemetery, White Church, Wyandotte Co., KS
Father: Jephtha HOLLINGSWORTH
Mother: Nancy Anne GORDON

Jeptha, Jephtha, Jephath, and Jepha are almost certainly misspellings of scriptural name, "Jephthah" (Judg. 11:1).
There are some "Young" HOLLINGSWORTHs about, so there is a high probability that Jeptha's middle initial stands for "Young," which probably means there is a YOUNG in his ancestry.

Wife: Mary B. GORDON — first cousin
Birth: 5 Dec 1799, SC
Death: 21 Apr 1852, Todd Co., KY
Disposition: buried Wakefield & Hollingsworth Cemetery, Todd Co., KY
Father: Samuel GORDON (1761-1840) — brother of Nancy Anne GORDON
Mother: Elizabeth BRANNON ( -1789) — Samuel may have had a prior wife who may be Mary's mother
