    1. Re: [HOLT] 3-GREAT GRANDAUGHTER OF THOMAS F HOLT
    2. My HOLT ancestors are of African and Indian ancestry. They also came out of Virginia and settled in Alamance County. I presume that they were slaves since I cannot find any information on them in the census prior to 1870. Who were the HOLT slave holders in Virginia prior to emancipation proclomation. I have reviewed the will of Michael Holt and find no reference to my HOLT ancestors. The 1870-1880 Census shows that Edith Holt (Ray) was born in South Carolina. He Husband Boswell Ray was also born in South Carolina arout 1815-1825. Henderson Holt is the only child of Edith that I have thus far been able to confirm. Henderson Holt was born around 1825-he married Delila. Sampson Holt, one of the sons of Henderson and Delilah married Fannie Hargraves from Virginia. Does anyone have these names in your family.

    3. We have a list of slaves from a Holt journal on the Alamance Genealogical Society web pages. The list is a jpg file, so just right click on it to save it to your hard drive. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncacgs/holt_slave_ledger.html Mary Ellis [email protected] wrote: >My HOLT ancestors are of African and Indian ancestry.
