Subject: Searching for George W. Holland

My name is Bryan (Bo) Holland. I live in American Fork, Utah. The statement below is the extent of my knowledge (if it is correct) about my great great grandfather:

HOLLAND, HUBERTY - I'm trying to find info on George W. HOLLAND.  He was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansa in 1876. I am told that he was raised/adopted by a Germany family (Desha County). I think their names are Mathias HUBERTY and a Matilda.  But George kept his name.

Subject: Thomas Jordan Holland or George Washington Holland
Both were born in North Carolina, but George died in Kentucky in 1907.  Thomas is my GR GR GR grandfather, and George is his son.  The remainder of the family still lives in western Kentucky, near the Mississippi River.  My father, Patrick Henry Holland, moved to Texas with his mother in 1919.  I still have many Holland cousins in the Fulton, KY area.  Unfortunately, I'm an only child, so there will be no more Hollands from this branch of the family in Texas.

      At the beginning of your Holland Family History and Tree [ http://www.hollandfamily.us/ ], you said there had been Hollands in the Colonies since the 1600s.  Do you know of any other branches that I could contact, either by email or snail mail?  I retired a few years ago and am anxious to trace my father's family.  You can reach me at my email address below and at this address and cell phone number:

Subject: Ancestral lineage of Charles William Holland (1830-1869)

     My great-grandfather was Charles William Holland, born 1 June 1830 in Smith County, Tennessee and died 28 September 1869 in Simpson County, Kentucky.  Apparently the cause of death was a gunshot according to the death records (roll) of the county.  I am particularly intrested in learning more details about Charles William Holland and his death especially as there are some mysterious aspects of his death according to family lore.  I have established the ancestral lineage of Charles William Holland back in succession through his father  Drury Holland to Stephen Holland to Charles Holland to the first Holland of my line to arrive in Virginia, Peter Holland(1683-1752) who arrived in Essex County, Virginia in 1699 from Middlewich Parish, Cheshire County, England as an orphaned indentured servant.  Peter Holland's son Charles Holland (1714-1766) married, probably about 1750 based on the birth dates of his offspring, an Anne Holland who appears to be  in some records, yet to be confirmed, the granddaughter of John Holland (1628-1704) of Nansemond County, Virginia.  I am interested in obtaining some verification of or copies of records, if available,  verifying the lineage of Anne Holland, wife of Charles Holland.  Do you have any information, or suggested sources, that might be useful in establishing the parentage of this Anne Holland?

    Just this week I have discovered that my first wife, now deceased some 25 years, shared a kinship to this same  John Holland (1628-1704) of Nansemond County.  She was Elizabeth Collings (adopted name) Finn of Louisville, Kentucky and her great grandfather was Samuel Adams Whitesides of Simpson County, Kentucky.  According to the records I have seen, recovered and imported into my data base,  the lineage from John Holland of Nansemond is as follows:

        John Holland (1628-1704) of Nansemond had,
            a son Michael Holland (1666-1746),  who married Judith Merryman, had
                a son John Holland (1696-1773), who married Martha Weeks, had
                    a son Hezikiah Holland (1742-1816), who married Mary Walker, had
                        a son Hezekiah R. Holland (1771-1837), who married Francis Harris, had
                            a daughter Elizabeth D. Holland (1812-1872), who married George W. Whitesides,
                                had a son Samuel Adams Whitesides (1850 in Simpson County, KY-1925 in
                                Simpson County, KY).

    If you have any information to augment or correct my records for this lineage please advise me as I am anxious to verify this lineage.

    I am originally from Fulton, Kentucky and my father William Laurence Holland was from Simpson County, Kentucky.  Formerly I was the dean of the School of Mines and Energy Development, University of Alabama.  I left the University in 1988 to establish my own small engineering and geological consulting firm which primarily works with the oil and gas industry as exploration and production consultants.   Hope to hear from you soon.

My grandfather was Jake Holland. His father was Thomas Jefferson Holland. His father was William M. Holland, who married Mary Chappelear. William was born in S.C.   His father was from Virginia. They moved to Georgia and then to Texas around 1868. Do any of these names sound familar?
