Susan Holmes (born Dec. 26, 1834, Wythe County, VA, died August 30, 1897, Perry County, KY) and Jonathan Witt are my g.g. grandparents. Susan (or Susanna) was the daughter of Robert Stanford Holmes (b. 1803 in Harlan Co. KY), and Nancy Olinger (b, Jan 11, 1806 in Russell Co. VA). Nancy Olinger was the daughter of John Christopher Olinger and Eve Margaret Siler. I recently found out that John Christopher Olinger served in the Revolutionary War (under the name of Christopher Olinger), and I am trying to find proof that Susan Holmes was the daughter of Robert and Nancy Olinger Holmes. I need this proof to fill out an application to the DAR. Susan was also married to Greenberry Pennington and was living in Perry County at the time of her death in 1897. I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone might have on this. Wanda Lombardo
