Doris Hall, The Paradise Historical Society is trying to find information about the mother and father of Robert Holt and his sister Laura [Turnbow] Holt. The 1880 Wise County census shows them living in the town of Aurora with their mother Mary and a Brock family. Descendants of Robert Holt live here at Paradise and want to very much find informaton about their anscestors. Please reply. We hope you can shed some light on the ever evasive Holt family.

Laura Lucritia Holt and Robert Holt were children of Mary Ann Lafferty..... Mary Ann is my Great Grandmother. She was married to Terry Green Brock in McMinn Co., Tenn. They had 4 or 5 children. Then then next I can find... she was in Fla.. (Robert was born in Key West, Fl)and had two children named Holt..... I do not know where my great grandfather passed away.. or if they divorced, but I believe he died, as she is later living in Aurora with her son, (my grandfather, William T. (W.T.Brock), another Brock child and Laura and Robert.....I have not been able to find out the name of Laura and Roberts father, whether or not he and Mary Ann divorced or if he died.... I think he must have been in the military as there was a military fort at Key West at that time....I am assuming that they married in Tenn as that is where Laura was born. Mary Ann Lafferty is buried at Thomas Cemetery listed as wife of T.G. Brock.... I am sorry that I am rambling so much on this, but I need to get my papers out to give the exact dates, etc. Just wanted to give you some info that I do have...
