NEVADA CITY'S FIRST TWIN GIRLS
(Written by Gladys Porter Sherman)
THE HOTHERSALL
TWINS
May our story start in Clitheroe,, England; the year, 1825. On October 4, a wee
lad was born who was given the name of
Elijah Hothersall. Nine years later: 1834,
Elizabeth Holt was born in the same English village. The families left England for
America on the same ship and arrived in
New York in July of 1840.
By the year of 1848, the Hothersall family had settled in Wisconsin; the Holts at
Worcester, Massachusetts; but Elizabeth
and Elijah never forgot one another. Letters were exchanged, even after Elijah
sailed by way of the Horn for California in
1852.
