If the information Derick provided about his age at enlistment is correct then he was most likely born in or about 1844 making him approximately eight in 1850. The eight year old at this time is clearly written as Martha and is listed as female. This could easily be an error. We all know it would not be the first time. The next census shows an M.A. of about the right age and who is probably Martin. A deeper search of either the census or cemetery records for Alexander Co. Whittenburg Twp could bear fruit, as well as a will that might be available for Andrew Jonas Hollar/Hollor/Holler. Agnes C.
