I have found two ancestors who have the name Irby as a christian name: GGGrandfather Irby Leroy HOLT of GA/TX, and Rev. Irby HOLT of TN. IRBY is not a common name and I am curious to know if there was a connection with the surname IRBY. Close friends,neighbors sometimes are honored by including their names in the children's names. There are IRBYs list in Halifax co, VA about the same time that James HOLT GGGGrandfather and possibly GGGrandfather William, son of James and father of Irby Leroy, were there. Early 1800s, late 1700s. Maybe a Census/tax list, etc with IRBYs as neighbors ..? I have subscribed to the IRBY-List with a query about a HOLT/IRBY relationship but it's too early to have an answer . Do any HOLT researchers have any IRBYs as colaterals,witnesses,neighbors? I can't find any(yet) in Robert HOLT's line but I'm lookin'.. Betty Faye (Double first name..ole Su'th'n custom) Searching for paternal:HOLT, LINDSEY, CARSWELL, TURNER; maternal:CLOUD,CHILDRESS, WHEELER, HARMON.

Helene, I have Irby Leroy's Family records etc. What I'm curious about is the relationship/connection between any IRBYs and HOLTs as Irby is NOT your everyday common name. I'm looking for the stories behind the raw data. I have heard from the IRBY-List, a researcher there has sent my query to someone he says has more info on the VA IRBYs. BTW the Land transactions were in Smith co, TEXAS not Tennessee. Which is where he lived and two children are buried near Tyler, Smith co, TX. The Cemetery is also called The HOLT Cemetery in the online transcription : ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/cemetery/holt.txt But thank you for helpin' out. Betty Faye
