I'm not certain we have a match. I'm pretty sure my James Holt was born in 1819. James oldest son was John and he was born 25 Mar 1838, making James about 19 years old at the time of John's birth. James lived his life in Lancashire but John immigrated to the US (Illinois) in May of 1868. It's funny how many Holts there were in Lancashire, even to this day the phone book lists several. Thank you, John Holt, John.Holt@comcast.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
