Surnames: Holt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBC.2ACI/314.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The James F. Holt you are asking about is my 3rd great-grandfather's brother. In addition to the three sons you mention, there are also John Lee, James Paschal, and Burwell Nicholas. All of them served with Co. I, 56th Va. Infantry in the War Between the States, with the exception of Rufus who served with the Morris Light Artillery. John Lee was killed during Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, and James Paschal was killed in action at Drewry's Bluff in 1864. There is a good book called "I Wrote You Word...the Poignant Letters of John Lee Holt" that gives a view of a soldier's life, plus it contains pictures of three of the brothers. If I can lend you any more info then let me know.
