Hi, all, This is my first posting to the list, and my first order of business is a big thank you to Lee (6 Apr 2005) who sent the information from the ss death index for Idema HOLT. Idema was the wife of my Uncle Sallie HOLT, brother of my grandmother Leona (Holt), both of whom came from Wayne County TN to Logan County Arkansas. I have not been able to find out who Idema's parent's were, but Leona and Uncle Sallie's parents were John Holt (died 1891 in Wayne County, TN) and Martha Dianah Fowler Holt. They were married in 1871 in Wayne County, TN. John Holt's first wife was Henrietta STAGGS. Martha Dianah came to Logan County, Arkansas after the death of her husband, John. Their children were Leander, William Benjamin, Nancy, Wayne, Ambrose, L. E., John Columbus, A. L. Seeking information on Leander, William Benjamin, Nancy (Ithink she was buried in Arkansas), Wayne, L. E., and A. L. (I think my Uncle Sallie's real name was Amrose). I have tracked, but not proven, the line as follows (starting with my grandmother, Leona (Holt)'s father): John Holt, Joseph Holt, Ambros Holt, William Holt, Ambrose Holt. John Holt was born 1836; Joseph Holt was born 1808; Ambros Holt born about 1774 in Wilkes County, NC; William Holt born about 1748 in Virginia; Ambrose Holt born 1725 in Henry county, VA If anyone has information on those lines, I would appreciate hearing from you.
