Surnames: Deshazer, Holt, Green Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gBB.2ACI/1796.1811 Message Board Post: Hello Linda, I am descended from Nancy Deshazer and Richard Holt. As you can see, I just found your message. Richard and Nancy moved from Kentucky to Tennessee, where my great great grand father, Tilghman or Tillman Holt was born. Later, the Holts moved to Missouri. I presume that either Richard or Nancy moved with them (if not dead by then). I have not record of their death places. Tillman's daughters were Frances (Fannie) and Mary Eliza Holt by Martha E Gill. Fannie went to California. My grand mother married Robert Green in St. Louis. The Green's moved to San Antonio. My grandfather was Leslie Green. I am interested in anything you have on the Deshazers. Are they French in origin, is the name a corruption? Bob Burden, Austin, Texas
