Robert, Looks like I was probably right. Whatever made you think this wasn't the same family. Do have have anything on the Holt family? This means that My grandfather Drake and my grandmother Wilhite Drake were distant cousins. 1. Charles (1)5 Holt (John B.4, Hans Michael3, Martin2, Johann Jonas1) was born 30 March 1762 in Prince William Sound, Virginia, and died 19 September 1847 in Blountsville, Blount Co., Alabama. He married Martha Ratliff 15 February 1785 in Franklin Co., North Carolina. She was born 15 February 1765 in Franklin Co., North Carolina (IGI Record), and died 11 May 1854 in Blount Co., Alabama (age 89). In a message dated 12/19/2008 2:02:09 P.M.
