Jerry, I don't know if this is any help or not, but I have information showing that a James W. Holman married Martha Ann Owen Dec. 27 1842 in Laurel County, KY. This marriage is recorded in Marriage Book AA, page 28. Ann was born about 1826 in Kentucky and was living in Kansas in 1907 when her father died. This is all the information I have on Martha and James W. Holman (I do have additional on her family if this couple seems to fit in anywhere for you). If you have any info on them, I would appreciate hearing from you.
