Michelle, please send me again the name of the person your looking for??? I deleted all of that and cannot remember for sure his name.....was it W.J.???? or W.M.>>>> and do you have full name??? My son in law has more up to date book and perhaps he's in there......I'll get him to look. Angelina county is north of Colmesneil and Rockland, but Jasper county is to the east of Colmesneil. "I" don't know if there was a change in the location of the county lines when the lake was put in, but don't think so.....but you know.....perhaps the area where he's buried, if he was buried on private property, could be under the lake. I don't know if all graves like that would have been identified or removed to another location. If it was "lost" then it might have been overlooked.....when I say "lost", I mean, on private property, that perhaps the family had moved from or sold or that just got buried under our prolific brush/tree growth up here. Good luck, and I'll write his name do! wn, so that if I happen upon it, I can let you know.. ..... have a nice evening....Melody

Thanks Melody! His name was William T. Holland, he was referred to as WT often on his probate record, I think the T may have stood for Thomas but that is just a guess.

Michelle, I couldn't stand it, I went to the village today and bought the newest cemetery listing book they have, and it was published in 1997. I checked the Hollands and did not find a WT. There is a William M, and a Willie L. Altogether there are 31 different Hollands around the county. Let me know if I can be of any further help to you. Melody

Thanks so much Melody! You've offered a lot of time in order to help me out. I just know I am related to some of those Hollands but just can't seem to find the connection. I hope that I can return the favor sometime (keep in mind I live in Montgomery County-you might need something here). If I can, please let me know. In the meantime, please keep and touch and let me know if you run across anything interesting!
