What I would like to ask all of those researching the line of Thomas H., is to try and locate the 1900 and 1910 census; now I do not know where he was, all census records have him in Buncombe co, except 1870, and his death record in 1921. Of course watch for remarriage(s) data aft 1880 *B

Yes we had the data for 1870 and 1880 census, including Milton Louis and Catherine in household of grandparents William and Fanny Revis, next door to Thomas H. My question to you, your James Henry was the grandson in the Wm and Fanny Revis 1880 household? Who were his parents? Thanks for your input, we sure would like to straighten this family out! :-) *Barb

Have just returned from researching Buncombe County records. For Thomas H. Revis, I have the following from the 1880 Buncombe County Census obtain from the Old Buncombe County Genealogical Society: Family #168 - Page 115 Revis, Thomas H. 38, born NC, father born NC, mother born NC Mary A. 27, same as above James 10, b. 1870 R. Harison, b. 1871 married Ida Capps 12/26/1896 Fanney 7, b. 1873 Kenneth 5, b. 1875 - also known as Hicks - I have a marriage for him, but will have to locate later. I have not had enought time to organize all the information I have returned with. Arry 2 b. 1878 Minney 8 months b. 1879 Family #169 - page 115 William N. Revis, 66, NC, NC, NC b. 1814-1815 Fanney 65 same, b. 1816 Catherine 15 b. 1865 Milton L. 13, b. 1867 James 3, grandson, b. 1877 It appears that Thomas H. Revis, who appears in the 1860 census and Daisy R 7, b. 1851, who also appears in the 1860 census, being siblings, had grandchildren in the William N. household during the 1880 census. James is James Henry Revis (22) who married Candley Idella Wheeler (20) 7/20/1899. Have application for marriage license. While researching James Henry & Idella's children, I located a belated birth certificate for Homer Lewis Revis b. 2/24/1913 and also one for Franklin Dennis Revis b. 6/7/1921. This family during the 1960s lived in the Washington, DC area. Responding to Barb's message of 9/18/200 Re: James Henry Revis 1878 - 1954, yes the dates are correct. Their children include: Mamie Victoria b. 11/1900 in Asheville, NC; Oliver Duffield Revis b. 4/1907, Asheville d. 1998 Balto, MD Otis Odell Revis 3/1909, Asheville d. 1969 Balto. MD Maude Ree born 12/1911 married John Suess Mildred possibly another daughter The last two children were probably not born in Asheville, perhaps in the Norfolk area. Checking. According to James Henry Revis and Candley Idella Revis marriage license, James Henry's father was Nick Revis and his mother Daisy Revis. >From land records found that a "J. Cole and his wife Daisy R. Cole, (formerly D. R. Revis)" purchased land in 1891. Since these same people sold land to James Henry in 1895, we believe that Daisy R. Cole, formerly D. R. Revis, is James Henry's mother. However, we cannot locate a Nick Revis. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Joan Revis

Barb, the 1870 census Madison Co. listed his age as Thomas-38 Mary Ann-17 The 1880 census Buncombe Co. listed his age as Thomas-38, same as the 1870 census Mary Ann-27 Barb, according to the 1870 N.C.Census book Thomas H.Revis was living in the Raysville Township in Madison Co.

Plus he was married to Mary Ann Hookes apparently frm at least 1868 until 1880 census. Now to find name of next wife. Thanks *Barb

Did not catch the Fanny..do you have ages for Thomas and Mary on the 1880 census? Cherly did not list her as a dau, unless a knickname for another given name. Also Lynne found a Jeter Revis born Mar 29, 1893 died 1966, so perhaps he did marry again aft 1880. To bad no 1890 census :-) *Barb

This was sent to me by a fellow researcher, frm the book "The Ancestry of Grafton Johnson" by Darmaris Knobe, Hollenbeck Press, 1924 Excerpts: William Holeman..next to oldest of three sons of parents, names unkown, who migrated frm Va at separate times and settled on adjacent plantations in that part of Rowan Co., NC, which is now Davie Co. He received his first land grant of 200 acres in 1786 rec Rowan Co DB-11 another land grant of 126 acres DB 19 This increased his plantation to 326 acres and was nw of that of his brother, Isaac Holeman. The log house where he lived and died, has since moved a short distance frm the original site, and is occupied today (1924?) by an outsider of the family., who also acquired part of the land His experience as soldier in the Rev War, was disclosed by an account written by his son, David Holeman, and passed down in the family; "he fought with the NC troops and captured by Cornwallis, was paroled with the stipulation that he would not take up arms again "against King George"; but as he promptly disregarded this agreement, the British "proclaimed him a reble with a price on his head" Severely wounded seven times in the battle of Cowpens which occurred in nw SC, ...he was abandoned on the battlefield as dead; but fate favored him for he was aft- erward discovered by a slave who bore him away and eventually nursed him back to heath." William Holeman was twice married, ..Elizabeth Johnson, second Sarah Whitlock William Holeman was "buried on his plantation, as later was his second wife; the tombstones were stolen long ago by somebody who needed a door-step.." "His Bible, inscribed with excellent penmanship, are the dates of the births of his eleven sons and daughters" Seven children of William Holeman and Elizabeth Johnson were: Rebecca b Oct 27, 1775 married John Hendricks Patience b Aug 31, 1779 married David Reavis Mary b Nov 01 1782 m/Sigler William b Apr 11, 1782 James b May 18, 1788 Isaac Holeman b Apr 2 1790 David HJoleman b Oct 1792 married Mary Welch four chn of William Holeman and 2d marr to Sarah Whitlock Thomas b Nov 26, 1797 m/Sarah Hendricks Samuel b Jun 23, 1800 married #1 Elizabeth Jones #2 Polly Cain-Little Sarah b May 12, 1803 married Bennett Windson Temperance Holeman b Feb 12, 1806 married Thos Whitlock *Barb
