A.. David T. Holt (never found him identified as Toliver) b. ca 19 apr 1921, Grainger Co, TN (we have found various alternate dates from 1818 to 1827 estimated from census entries and family sources, but this date matches his cemetery record) mar. 16 Feb 1844 Grainger Co, TN to Mary J. (Polly) Walker had eight children (details availble), including David Toliver Holt (B. below) farmer moved to NW Arkansas about 1852 d. 22 Jan 1909, near Gravette, Benton Co., AR, where he had lived since 1856-58. We are still trying to figure out who his parents were, but we think his father was one of the sons of yet another, earlier David Holt of Grainger Co., TN, who may have come from VA by way of NC. (more details availabe on him and his family). B. David Toliver "Doc" Holt (don't think we have ever found name 'Toliver' in any official record--although my wife says maybe once--but only or almost only in the recollections of one of his daughters, my grandmother, Emma. Think we have found him as David T. on one land record. Signed his name simply as "Doc Holt" on his wife's death certif.) b. 25 Apr 1858, near Gravette, AR. (one census record shows Feb 1856, but we doubt the accuracy) mar. 12 Mar 1876, probably at Bentonville or Gravette, to Mary Narcissus Jane (Jennie) Williams. had eleven children, including my grandmother Emma (details available) after her death, sometime between 1917 and 1931 remarried to widow Alice Jackson farner d. 15 May 1931 B. So I think that accounts for most of your data. Ginny Williams may well be Doc's wife Mary (Jenny) (Williams) Holt. Doc lived with his parents (David T. and Mary/Polly) at Round Prairie Twp, Benton Co, in 1870 (census) and on his own farm at Wallace Twp, Benton Co in 1900 (census) . C. How are you related? Once you get these people sorted out, who are you looking for or what info are you trying to establish? D. E-mail us dircect if you like. Regards, Wayne and Sheila Woodman
