    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Holland, Henderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WBB.2ACI/3049 Message Board Post: I am looking for the parents of Oliver P. Holland who married Mary Henderson. I am trying to find out if Oliver and Wright Holland were brothers. In 1850 Oliver and family are in Carter, County Kentucky. In 1860 Oliver and family are in Carter County, Kentucky In 1870 Oliver has moved to Lewis County, Kentucky In 1880 Oliver can be found in Fleming County, Kentucky with the son of Wright Holland living next to him. When Wright Holland's wife applied for a Civil War widows pension there is a statement dated February 6, 1882 from Oliver saying he was at the wedding of Wright and Margaret Holland when they were married in Mason County, Kentucky in July of 1833. There is no doubt that Wright and Oliver knew each other but that doesn't mean they were brothers though. Wright is 5 years older than Oliver. Just trying to take back the line another generation. Thanks, Darrell Warner
