It is possible your Holt was a child of our Holt's of Nova Scotia. They lived in Five Islands. William Holt would have been his grandfather. He had12 children. Married 1775 in Horton, Nove Scotia to Priscilla Fuller, whose father was Noah. Do not have William's parents name, but think his father was John and he was supposed to be one of the first settlers of Five Islands in Nova Scotia. The main part of the family came by ship in 1868 around the horn landing in San Francisco, Calif., but some stayed in Nova Scotia. Please contact me direct at holt18@earthlink.net. Thsnks so much.
