The information that I have is that James Buchanan Holts father was Nathaniel Holt and Nathaniel Holts father was William Holt not John Holt. William Holt died 1809 in Rockingham County NC. William Holts father was Thomas Holt and Thomas Holts father was Henry Holt son of Rowland Holt (brother of Sir John Holt Chief Justice). CJ Holt
