I'm looking for information on Thomas Holt born April 22, 1858 in Missouri and died on April 15th, 1921 in Box Oklahoma. I find the 1860 census record in Missouri showing the parents Stephen Holt 43 Parthena Holt 35 Benjamin Holt 19 Polly Holt 17 Francis Holt 16 Sarah Holt 15 Anna Holt 13 Perry Holt 12 Stephen Holt 10 Clerinda Holt 10 Charles Holt 8 Wm Holt 6 Jane Holt 4 Thomas Holt 2 And I believe is Stephen's mother Sarah Holt 70 Then I find some of the kids in Arkansas in the 1870 census Perry Holt 22 Clarinda Holt 24 Jane Holt 18 William Holt 16 Breckenridge Holt 14 Thomas Holt 12 Adam Holt 10 I was told that Thomas was orphaned and this would make sense as far as location since Thomas was married in Arkansas before moving to Oklahoma. Just trying to find out what happened to the parents. If anyone has any info on what happened with this family I would appreciate any info.
