I've been working quite a bit on this aspect Linzey..over the past couple of weeks. Here is what I suspect and am trying to document. >From Ancestry.com -- Robert Holt 4-24-1744 born in Surrey County VA (later Surry Co NC) married Elizabeth Stanfield born 1760 in Halifax, VA died c 1795 in Tennessee. Married circa 1775. Children were Frances Holt b 1778 (according to other data I have located this IS the same Frances who married Lewis Ross brother of Chief John Ross) and Elizabeth Holt (the wife of Timothy Meigs). I don't yet know which Robert this is. Probably a descendent of Nicholas Holt. But I do not yet know. What I do know is that Timothy Meigs was the son of Jonathan Return Meigs Cherokee Indian Agent in about 1802 for a few years. JR Meigs lived and worked at Fort Southwest Point, now Kingston, Tennessee. Tim married Elizabeth Holt who is supposed to be the dtr of Robert. Timothy died in this area, now McMinn County, TN., in 1811 Their descendents are accepted on their Miller/Dawes applications in 1909-1910. Making it positive that these do indeed have Cherokee blood. There are Holts mentioned in three different lineages in the David Hampton Lewis book which suppliments Dr. Emmett Starr's History of the Cherokee Indian.
