Michael, I may be mistaken, but I think he is one of the children of Henry Thomas and Pairlee Mintora Lassiter. I do not have the information recorded in my new computer file at this time, but if this is his parents, then yes, he is kin to my Holleman's. My Henry and Elizabeth would be his great grandparents. That line is: Henry Holleman and Elizabeth Cotton > Andrew Jackson Holleman and Cassie Duncan > Henry Thomas Holleman and Pairlee Mintora Lassiter > Herbert Holleman I have information on the Cotton family, if this proves to be your line. And by the way, my brother's middle name is Barton. It was also my Uncle's middle name, and we do not know where it is from. (The uncle was born in White Co, in 1907,) Kay
