As many of you know, I firmly believe, without proof, that Preston Holt (born 1808 in Grainger, married Rutha Campbell b 1809 in Claiborn) and Kendrick were brothers - parents were Henry Holt born 1787 and Elizabeth Bowman born 1788. Kendrick married Mary (Polly) Sumpter on 2/20/1845 in Claiborne Co. 1860 Claiborne Census lists #91-293 Kendrick Holt 32 laborer Mary 30 Sarah 9 Rufus 7 James 5 Henry 12 Eliza 14 Elbert 2 Breckenridge 3/12 Elizabeth Holt 72 I assume that Elizabeth was living with Kendrick as Henry died 1850. Eliza Holt married Isham Seals on 6/15/1858 Henry, possibly Henry Clay married Mary C Hope this is helpful.

So far, I have only a theory, that being that he was perhaps the son of Kendrick Holt who appears in 1860 in Claiborne County, TN. He is a mystery man, for sure. He was the second husband of Matilda Baldwin, whose first husband was Lackey Newsom. Matilda and Lackey were my GG-Grandparents. Lackey was killed in the closing days of the Civil War, on February 28, 1865. Henry and Matilda were married by August, 1865. They were very young--only 18! Yet Matilda already had three children by then (was married first at 14). By 1870, Henry and Matilda were 23 and living in Floyd County, KY. Henry appeared on the 1890 Special Veterans Census in 1890, listing as having served 9 months in 1862 in the 5th Tennesee Cavalry, Co. B. He would have been only 15. Henry Holt is shrouded in mystery. Some thought he was hiding out from the law; some thought he wasn't a Holt at all. Yet, he was always consistent with his birthplace and his age, which placed his date of birth as 1847 in Tennessee, which is the correct date and place for him to be Kendrick's son. However--there is NO PROOF. When I search for information on Kendrick Holt's son, Henry, I cannot find any. Although Mary is an extremely common name, I note that Matilda and Henry Holt named their first daughter Mary. Perhaps this is in fact the one and the same Henry Holt and daughter Mary was named for his mother. Did your Darcus Holt marry Samuel Newsome? He is related to Matilda Baldwin's first husband, Lackey Newsom. I have some interesting anecdotal information about Henry Holt, along with a picture or two of him and Matilda. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
