Very nice piece of info, some of which I was already familiar with. Do you know of names of creeks/rivers in early southeastern Virginia? Lots of them were known by different names than today.

I find this very interesting. My great grandmother, Mary Holt Dudley was born in Tennessee in 1837. She was married in Florence, Lauderdale Co. AL in 1856 to Samuel Spears Dudley. Do you have the names of Thomas and Lera's children. I have been searching for Mary for some time and cannot find her in TN. Carol Canham Harker Stafford Springs, CT

a brief lineage of James City, Surry, York, and Isle of Wight Counties and of Hogg Island Virginia. As genealogists, we sometimes forget that political geography is a fluid designation and that the location of a county or state today may or may not be indicative of the political boundaries known to our ancestors. In my study, and that of several others among HOLT researchers -- conflicting reports of location surrounding these three counties and Hogg Island seem to cause some consternation. Virginia was first permanently settled in 1607 at James Fort (later Jamestowne) in present James City County on the north bank of the James River. York County was so named in 1634 as Charles River County and renamed to York County in 1642. At the time (1634) the other Virginia Counties included Charles City, Elizabeth City, Henrico, Warrosquyoake (renamed Isle of Wight in 1637), Accawmack (renamed Northampton in 1642), and Warwick River (renamed Warwick in 1642). Surry County wasn't formed until 1652 and was drawn from part of James City County. An area sometimes called "the other side of the water..." With Hogg Island being in the river and a true Island at places -- it is likely that it could have been considered a part of Surry, James City, or Warwick Counties but not likely York. After the mid 1650's; Hogg Island should have been well known as within Surry County though very near Isle of Wight as well. Now, it should have been clear to anyone whether they were north or south of the James River -- what may not have been clear is exactly where Surry County ended and Isle of Wight began. Similarly - James City, York, Charles City, and Warwick Counties probably didn't have "Welcome to Our County" signs along the meager roadways. With the York River separating the northern boundary, most folks should have known whether they were born "between the rivers" or "on the frontier". Even so, looking at an older map of James City and York Counties, one sees quickly how someone could be confused about which he is in -- even into the 1800s. Many folks also appeared to go to whichever governmental seat was nearer and most convenient -- since most vital records were not kept by the government, it really wasn't too great a concern whether you were in Surry or Isle of Wight except for "tax time" and there are more than a few records of tax disputes based on location. I can only imagine how confused our ancestors must have been over the neighboring political boundaries -- considering how confusing it is to modern researchers who have maps to look at.... Just a few thoughts for consideration. CoachT

Believe Kendrick Holt's parents to be Henry and Eliz. (Bowman) Holt ... Believe Henry and Eliz. had at least the following children: Pleasant, Preston, Sydnia, David, Henry Jr., and Kendrick. There are probably more children, but names unknown at this time. Henry and Eliz. were married in 1805 in Grainger Co., TN. Cheers, Ron

Michael......I'm trying to help. Henry Holt b. 1792, mar. Elizabeth McGuire did not have a son Kendrick.They did have a son named Henry. Fran

I would like to exchange information with anyone connected to Kendrick Holt. Kendrick was (probably) born in Claiborne, Grainger or Hancock Co., TN abt. 1828. Believe his parents to be Henry and Elizabeth Holt. Kendrick was married to Mary (last name unknown) and had at least the following children: Eliza, Henry, Sarah, Rufus, James, Elbert and Breckinridge. In 1850, Kendrick and family were living in Hancock Co., TN. In 1860, they were living in Claiborne Co., TN. Believe Kendrick to have served in the 63rd Tenn. Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. That is my last observance of him in the records, so far. Ron

Has anyone studied the creation dates of York and Surry Counties Virginia with relation to the births of HOLT family members? Also, has anyone considered whether the county boundaries were clearly known at the time or was there confusion? If it has not been done yet, I'll explore the info this weekend...

He left "his place of nativity" Sept 16, 1794 during the Whiskey Rebellion and ended up settling in Uniontown, Springfield Twp, Fayette Co., PA and married Susanna COBUN (COBURN) and had ten children. In John's journal he writes that he never knew his parents and was raised by his grandparents (maternal or paternal I do not know!). There has been many individuals (even those included on this HOLT list) researching John W HOLT and placing his birth and connections to the Randall HOLT line, Hogg Island, Surry, VA. Even John W's grandson, Samuel states that John was born on Hogg Island. John stated in handwritten letters that he had two older brothers (must have shared the same mother since she died ten days after John was born!) named Mathew and Thomas. Those names are Randall HOLT line names as well. Now, after all these years of researching John and proving his place of birth and parentage, I have given some thought to the fact that John possibly was born in York Co, NOT Surry Co. Is anyone researching John W HOLT? His parents? siblings? I would like to discover and figure out this puzzle before I leave this world! Is anyone else out there having the same scenario?

Do any of you who are researching the Holts of Surry Co. know anything about my gggrandmother. All I have been able to confirm so far is that she was Catherine Holt and she married Willis Thompson in the mid 1800's. I have the exact date at home, but not with me right now. I know that they were married in Surry County, but so far I have nothing to give me a clue as to who parents were. If any of you know anything about Catherine Holt, I's love to hear from you Nancy Rube.

<PRE>I have the same information as you stating date of birth 1762 in Surrey Co., VA. but have obtained most information from postings and internet searches. It is funny that you mentioned 1794 as I am searching for a Randolph Holt supposedly born that year and have come up with nothing.
