Surnames: HOLLEMAN / HOLMAN, HOUSE, PHILLIPS, RAY, COOPER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AW.2ADE/282.380.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks Judy, I probably expounded too much in my reply to you----rather than a McLAIN connection, I am more interested in the HOLLEMAN name that appears among those names in your earlier posting re the LONG family . . . My great-grandmother Parthenia ANDREWS/ANDERS HOUSE's marriage (sometime after 1860 to 1873) to Edward HOLLEMAN or HOLLOMAN in Monroe County produced a son Wm. Edward HOLLEMAN. It is possible a daughter Elizabeth b 1864 was born to HOLLEMAN rather than her previous husband George HOUSE. After HOLLEMAN died in 1873, Parthenia married Dillard L. COOPER in Monroe County. The son Wm. Edward HOLLEMAN or HOLMAN --(used both names, or Edward or W.E.) had a brother or maybe he was a son --Frank --and Wm. Edward married (maybe a 2nd marriage) to Rosa B. PHILLIPS from Texas (also called Rosie B.) and a brother of Rosie's named Joe PHILLIPS--who married and moved to Oklahoma where he was a policeman on the 1930 census. So I am interested in the HOLLEMAN / HOLMAN family of Wm. Edward HOLLEMAN / HOLMAN, wife Rosa "Rosie" B. PHILLIPS HOLMAN and their children---Frank (I think he was a son by a 1st marriage) born 1888; Agnes b 1891; Blanche 1897; Etta May 1902; Maggie B. 1905; Edward D. about 1910; Charlie A. 1914; Nellie M. 1918. I also have photos of Wm. Edward and Frank HOLMAN probably taken in 1910 to 1920 and of Wm. Edward's children Charley and Nellie taken about 1920. This family lived in 1900 and 1920 in Caney township in Woodruff County and in 1930 he and Rosa were in Brinkley, Monroe County, Arkannsas where Wm. Edward HOLMAN was a building contractor. In 1930, a grandson Thomas J. RAY age 9 (b 1920) lived in the HOLMAN household in Brinkley on White Oak Street. Will really appreciate any info on them and their descendants . . . thanks Audrey Williams Stanaland Loudon, TN
