Pat = I have an Addie Holt born about 1859 married to a ?? Bridgeman daughter of Thomas Jefferson Holt (b Dec 1830 in South Carolina- d 18 Sept 1901 in Corning, Clay County, Ark.)and ?? Lee. Thomas Jefferson had three wives. ?? Lee was his second and I show they had three daughters Nancy, Aimee and Addie. This is a very difficult family for me to do research on as Thomas ran away from home to marry his first wife because the family did not want him to marry her. He went to town and wrote a check on his father's account and left. We know very little about his family. My father-in-law, Earl Holt is his grandson. Thomas was in the Civil war, but when I wrote to get his records they said he deserted. However one of his last wife's brothers said he had been a true rebel to the end and that he had seen him in his uniform. His third wife is said to have received a pension check by Earl Holt's sister. Thomas was also a US Marshall according to family. Does any of this fit???
