Betty and Helene, My dead-end is Barrett Holt who was born in about 1785 and based on letters from his children and grandchildren was a direct relative of John Holt and Edith White. This John can be traced back to Randall. I have a lot of information from others that I would be willing to share including a 28 page descendency written by Andrea Storm who at one time was the "keeper" of the southern Holt family history. I would eventually like to participate in a DNA study and think that getting all of the known facts into one place will really be helpful. Preston Holt
