Hollingsworth / Walker Chapel Cemetery

Looking for descendants of William Lee Hollingsworth born 17 Jan 1895 and died 9 Nov 1954 and his wife, Doretta Josephine, born 16 Jan 1889 and died 13 Oct 1977. They are both buried at Walker Chapel Cemetery near Fultondale. I have pictures of tombstones. They may have had a daughter, Genevieve M., born about 1911. I have information of the 1920 & 1930 Census.
I'm mostly interested in the Hollingsworth line. I know that William was the only son of John Perry Hollingsworth (1839-1917) and his second wife, Mary Frances Reed. There were no children from John's first marriage. John Perry Hollingsworth was the oldest son of Wesley Hall Hollingsworth (1807-1858/60) and Susan Lee (1819-1892). Wesley Hall Hollingsworth was the oldest son of John T. Hollingsworth (1785-1865) and possibly Susannah (1787-1850/54). Thinking that certain family Bibles and heirlooms are sometimes passed through the oldest male, I'm wondering if there might be that possibility here. Hollingsworths from John T. have been searching for his parents for about 30 years, but I've not heard of anyone looking through this particular line of descendants. I'm wondering if any exist.
William Lee Hollingsworth had three sisters of which I know nothing except finding them on the census. They are Annie May born Sept 1889, Sarah E. born July 1891, Mary L. born Mar 1893.
If anyone knows this particular family line, I'd appreciate any information. If you happen to have an obituary of any of these, could we share information. I'll exchange information that I have collected on this line.
Thank you.
