Jane Holt's son David by Thomas Whiteside went by the surname "Whiteside." He can be found in the 1860 Grainger Co. census records--long after the David T. Holt who married Polly Walker had left for Benton Co. If you have a male Holt relative, you might consider participating in DNA testing. My line of Holts and several other Holt lines who were in TN have done DNA tests. It could give you the answer to which line you belong. I've researched the Holts in Grainger County but never figured out myself what line was David T. Holt's. In the 1850 census records, he appears to live closer to another line of Holts than to mine. Those Holts are later in Hamblen County (1880 census), which was formed partially from Grainger County. I would assume that they didn't move to Hamblen County but likely were living in the part of Grainger County that became Hamlen. Other researchers of the David T. Holt line have been trying for many years to figure out his ancestry but to my knowledge, haven't been successful.
