Nathaniel and Abigail Holt had a son Drury in Dec. 1759 in Albemarle Parish, Sussex County, VA. Documented. Assuming Nataniel and Abigail are my Drury Holt's parents. The time frame fits, Abigail had a brother Drury Clanton, so that fits. Abigail Clanton Holt does connect to the Randall Holt line from Hogg Island and Williamsburg, VA through her grandmother Mary Seward Holt who married Wm. Clanton. For more than 10 years, I thought Nathaniel and Abigail were probably cousins, both going back to Randall Holt. (It all seemed to fit, but I couldn't document Nathaniel's parents.) Well...DNA changed that! DNA shows the Drury Holt's line going back to Robert Holt, born about 1605. Either Nathaniel was from the Robert Holt line, OR he wasn't Drury's father. I've been searching for Nathaniel's father for some time now without success. My best "guess" is: Robert Holt Richard Holt William Holt, born abt 1684,died about 1734 (Wm. Holt, brother of Plunkett & Richard Jr.) Thomas or John Holt born about 1705 Hoping to find a "cousin" who's line goes back through Wm Holt to compare notes. Do you have any information on William Holt (above) and his family? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
