It appears from my research that the Holmans who changed thir name to Hallman are related, as far as the Alabama Hallmans go, and are derived from the SC Hallmans. The ones who were in Tennessee were not related to us, again, as far as I can tell. The Holmans of Texas and Oklahoma that migrated early i e before or just after the War from Alabama tended to not change their name, or did so long after the rest, for example, Marion Ford and Henry Llewellyn Hallman called themselves Holman, yet their descendants changed to Hallman, and they were originally from West AL There was a group of Holmans who settled in East Alabama, Talledega County, that were from SC and some never did change. This old boy is related to us, I'll bet. If he can tell me where in AL his people settled and especially when, I guess we'll be able to help.
