Their other children included my wife's great grandmother Catherine Holt (Walsh), as well as William, Francis, Valentine, Stephen, and John Holt. Valentine Holt was one of 5 brothers (masons) who immigrated from Ireland in about 1849. Valentine settled in Brooklyn, and some of the brothers lived in Staten Island. Please contact me if you have any information about the Holt family.
