Subject: Sophia Holland born Dec 16, 1814

I am searching for the parents of SOPHIA HOLLAND who was born December 16, 1814 in Georgia. She married James W. Powell in 1832 in either Randolph, Lee or Sumter Co GA. They lived in Lee and Terrell Co. I truely believe that she somehow connects sto the Daniel S. Holland Line. I noticed that the 1830 Dooly Co GA census shows Daniel and his wife. Zilpha, with 3 females aged 15-20. Daniel and his wife would have been too old so they must have been grandchildren. Census records for Sophia show that her father was born in NC and her mother in Virginia.

My Sophia and husband James named their first daughter Queen but she is listed on the 1850 Terrell Co GA census as Zelpha. Sophia and James named their first son Daniel C.. Other sons were Henry, James,Thomas and William. I know there were some Holland's in Sumter Co GA, which is near Terrell and Lee counties.

Thank you,

My Holland family tree:

My maternal Great-Grandmother Macie Holland Sarver, 8 Jan, 1891 - 22 Apr, 1973, lived in Paron, Saline County, Arkansas
- Her Father, John Thomas Holland, 23 June, 1851 - 29 Apr, 1926
o His Father, Williams Thomas Holland, 1822 - 1885 (from Tennessee)
o His Mother, Catherine (Crow) Holland, 1824 - 1899
- Her Mother, Sarah Elizabeth (Dyer) Holland, 20 July, 1853 - 6 May, 1943 (The Dyers were from TN and GA)

I am told that my great, great, great grandfather William Thomas Holland was, at that time, a fairly prosperous land owner in Tennessee and moved to Saline County, Arkansas. There is a Holland Township in northern Saline County named after the Hollands. I have just started this journey and would love to know more about my grandmother's side of the family. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much,

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.

Charles William Holland (1830-1869)

Holland Family History & Tree — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:22:00 GMT

From: Readholland@aol.com
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 name is Jon Cody Holland and I live in Alpharetta Georgia. I am trying to trace my Holland family tree and I am at a stopping point. My research so far is listed below.

      Jon Cody Holland(myself)
      b. August 19,1975 Columbus GA

William Alexander Holland(my father)
b.July 18, 1950 Columbus GA

      James Floyd Holland(my grandfather)
      b.October 6,1926 Haleburg, AL
      d.May 26,2000 Columbus GA

      William Cody Holland (my great grandfather)
      b.April 6,1892 Haleburg, AL
      d.November 27,1970 Columbus GA

I have not gotten anywhere after William Cody Holland and obviously the tree goes before 1892 in Alabama. Do you have any suggestion? A reply at your convenience would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jon Holland

My name is William Allen Holland III. I was born in Elizabethton TN. My Father William A Jr. Was born in Jefferson GA in 1923. I am not sure about his father William Sr. as he was killed in a saw mill accident in GA somewhere near Savannah or Augusta around 1935. My grandmother was Myrtle Glenn from Banks county GA. All of the Glenns and Hollands were from Banks and Jasper County GA as I understand it. My father died when I was 9 years old so I know very little about the Holland family other than what little I have found from census. I also found a grave marker in the Magnolia cemetery in Charleston SC for a PVT P. A Holland Killed in action while serving with the CO D 18th SC INF CSA Died June 08 1862.

If you know of this family please let me know. Our family bible was lost in a house fire during the depression and my grandmother could not read nor write so there is no family record for me to trace. I have one Aunt but she is and has been in a nursing home for years and cannot speak. none of her children ever took any interest in the Holland history as I am the sole survivor to carry on the name.
Thank you, Bill Holland
