Laurel, Have a few slight references in Willis to Andrew, Bolling, James, Jesse, Sarah,and Waller Holmes and to an Andrew Holmes in "Wills & Estates" but no Robert. The 1840 Census does show a Robert Holmes in Shelby Co., p.135. Have some info on a Robert James Holmes (b.15 Jan 1810 Shelby Co., KY; d.21 Jun 1886), father Jesse Holmes, mother Nancy Ann Drusilla Taylor if that's any help - or perhaps I'm just muddying the waters.
