Just an FYI on the name Holland. There are some Hollands listed above or below my Hightower's on the 1850 Cherokee Co, NC Census. PG 92, household 602. Lots of times neighbors moved together. My Hightower's moved to Grayson Co in 1852. Sonia rod and vicki reynolds wrote: >Hi, >Thank you very much for your email.
