In Knox Co., KY on tax list for 1806 is a Doswell Holt. 1807 is Doswell, Drury, & John Holt. 1809 is Drury, Henry, & Doswell Holt. No futher Holts. In 1819 Whitley Co., KY was formed from Knox Co., KY. On 1810 census for Knox Co., Ky is Drury Holt--- 1 male under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 45/up, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 25-44, & 1 female slave. Also is Doswell ---1 male 16-24, 1 female under 10, & 1 female 16-24. So I'm guessing the Drury in Knox Co. is the same one that died in Whitley Co., KY? Along with sons Doswell & Henry? I have seen many reports at rootsweb of Drury Holt born 1759? , 1769?, & other dates. Born in VA? Born in TN? Father Nathaniel? Died Whitley Co.? Died McCraken Co.? But they all...married Elizabeth Rogers. My interest is.... I descend from an Orpha Holt and I'm looking for her family. I have little on her. She married a James Miracle Sr. (b.1792). Orpha was born about 1792 (possible NC?). James and Orpha had the following children: M i William J. MIRACLE M ii John MIRACLE M iii Elisha MIRACLE M iv Ambrose MIRACLE M v Abraham MIRACLE F vi Anne MIRACLE M vii James Crow MIRACLE M viii Frederick MIRACLE James & Orpha Miracle lived in Harlan Co., KY (formed from Knox Co. in 1819). First son William was there born in 1816. It has been my thinking that Orpha & her Holt family were from that area. Fellas usually marry home town gals, pretty hard to court otherwise. James Miracle & his family came to this area about that time from Lee Co., VA.(1810 census in Lee Co.). I'm thinking it is possible that Orpha is a daughter of Drury Holt? The other possible father is John Holt. I did see in a report that Nathaniel Holt had a son Drury & a son John. If anyone has anything that could help me in my quest...it would be deeply appreciated! Thank you for any light you can shed. Dusty Pilgrim
