I suspect that Tapley Holt is also Tarpley Holt and may have had 2 families. It bears looking into. I have documentation on a Tarpley Holt born 18 March 1777. He is son of Simon Holt and Sarah Hines. He has a family with Elizabeth Lane Flewellen whom he married in 1809 in Warren Co., GA at age 32. Children born of this marriage are listed as : Abner Flewellen born 1811 Ann Lane born 1816 William Simon born 1818, Margaret Eliza born 1820 Martha Sara born 1823 Tarpley Lafayette Holt 1827. Simon Holt's parents were Richard aand Mary Tarpley of of Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia Note: You might match up the ages of the children. I have seen this happen before where a man had a family in Alabama then in NC then went back to AL where he had additional children, leaving 3 children to be raised by a brother in law as ordered by the courts. A will he wrote in NC was proved in AL after his death. > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.holt/1872.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > This was my great-great-great-great grandfather, so I would love to know > information also. > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
