    1. [GATALBOT] A Rockaway in Talbot - Holt lookup
    2. David L. Casey
    3. When I visited the courthouse in Talbotton a few weeks ago, I ran across a 3 or 4 volume book by Davidson entitled "A Rockaway in Talbot". One volume had a 3-4 page article on my ancestor William Holt (1792-1874). I made copies of the article, but failed to mark down from which volume it was. Anyone with access to these books? The courthouse has 3 out of the 4 volumes (? I believe that's right). Thanks in advance. By the way, the Wm. Holt article has a photo of Wm. Holt's tombstone. It also provided information that with other data allowed us to find the old Holt plantation site up in N. Talbot Co (near Pleasant Hill just off Chalybeate Springs Road on Ellison Pound Road) but the gravestone in Mr. Davidson's book is no longer within the stone enclosure of the burial ground on the old plantation site.either lost, or (my hope) preserved somewhere safe from the elements and time. Thanks, Dlc PS Anyone who wants to be able to find the old Holt plantation site, just let me know. It's on private land of a Mr. Daniels (?) but a Mr. Lamb who lives near there showed it to us. Not much to see, but the stone wall enclosing the burial ground (as described in Wm. Holt's 1872 will also available in the courthouse - will book B, I believe) is still there, much overgrown with briars and fallen limbs, etc. Photos are available here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~caseytexas/Georgia-pix1003/Talb ot-Holt/ My Holt website is available here: http://holt.casey-genealogy.com <http://holt.casey-genealogy.com/>
