Surnames: Holt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Eej.2ACIB/2126 Message Board Post: Am searching for information on Harvey Holt of California. Believed to have been born around 1863, I have been told by family members that he came from Nova Scotia. Wife was Mary Whitehead of California (Orange County) who died, along with her mother, in the flood of 1928 when St Francis dam broke. Harvey and Mary had four children that I know of: John Henry; Harvey Kurtis; Eva; and Hazel Holt. Harvey Holt served as a brakeman on the Butterfield Stage Line and later on the Twenty Mule Team. Any further information would be appreciated.
