You are one lucky person, Roy! What do the letters A. J. stand for, do youi know? Would it be possible to share the letter with the rest of us? Also, are there any copies of the book available any where? His missionary work among the Indians and events leading to the War between the States sound really interesting and I would love to read about it. Changing the topic: Does any one know anything about a Constance Holt, granddaughter of Henry Bowen, who built "Roseland Cottage" at Woodstock, Connecticut? The Cottage is featured in the June 1991 issue of AMERICANA magazine, along with Constance's name and picture, but nothing else about her or who her parent's were. Holt may be her married name?

I have Adoniram Judson Holt in my genealogy info even though he doesn't tie into my own Holt line. His father Aaron lived in Pulaski County, KY for many years, and he had children with, but didn't marry, Polly Rebecca Sears. Polly was from my Sears line and I kept the info on her and Aaron Holt. Aaron then married A. J.'s mother (Miriam J. Buckner), and after that he married Margaret P. Loving. When trying to find out if Aaron Holt was part of my Holt line, I did find the book that A. J. wrote in either a Knoxville or Nashville, TN library (but don't remember which). The book is also available on Amazon. If anyone wants pictures of Adoniram J. Holt, I have two and can e-mail a copy to you. There's plenty of internet material on Adoniram for those interested.
