         Abraham B Holley [Y4a12], son of Mary T Young and John William Holley, was born 10 March 1842 in District 10 in Giles Co TN. He lived within this community his whole life, and probably married his wife there also, in 1863. She was Sarah Phoebe A Brown, born 11 February 1845 in TN. Her parents are probably Jesse Franklin Brown (1807 NC) and Phebe Parks (1810 NC) who lived with their six children in Lincoln Co in 1850. One child was 5 year old Phebe Brown. Of Abraham and Phoebe’s grandchildren, two had Brown as a middle name. Furthermore, in the area of eastern Giles Co and western Lincoln Co, there were only three young girls who had any combination of names which could have been Abraham B Holley’s future wife. Phebe Brown is the likely one. Her parents and siblings lived in Franklin Co in 1860, but there was no 15 year old daughter with the parents. The two siblings next older and younger than Phebe (America and James) were at home. Phebe could have been with her older siblings (Susan, Wade, and Malher) who were no longer living with their parents.

         Abe was a farmer. He died 30 September 1910, and Phoebe on 14 February 1921. Both are buried in Center Point Cemetery in District 10. They apparently had nine children, but Sarah (the name she used in 1900 and 1910) told the census taker in 1900 that she only had six and they were all alive; in 1910 she said she had nine with eight still living (son Willis had died as a child). She appears to be the same wife Abe had since the 1870 census. These nine children were-

         Connie Gail Holley [Y4a12d3e1], daughter of Charles Darwin Holley and Madeline Hopper, was born 1 October 1957. (GW)

         Cora Elizabeth Holley [Y4a10c], daughter of Isaac P Holley and Martha A Caldwell, was born 11 May 1867 in Giles Co TN (per death certificate; she claimed age 31 in 1900, age 33 in 1910, 52 in 1920, 66 in 1930). She ("Bettie Holley") married her sister Zora’s widowed husband William B Brady in Giles Co on 24 August 1885; the 1930 census shows that she was age 18 when she married, which agrees with the marriage record date if she was born in 1867 (but not with the age she gave in 1930). He was born in TN in December 1858 (age 41 in 1900, 53 in 1910, 63 in 1920). William and Cora lived in Lincoln Co in 1900, and had six children by then with three sons still alive. In the 1900s they moved to Franklin Co TX with the three sons from the 1900 census, and by 1910 had a fourth son. In 1920 they lived with the youngest son in Wood Co TX.

Jim also claimed that his mother’s full name was "Cora Elizabeth (Bettie) Brady" and that she was born 11 May 1865. Because of wildly fluctuating ages over the years in census records, and because of the birth years of her close siblings, her birth was probably 11 May 1867. All her children were born in TN-

1.      child Brady, b & d about 1886 (16u)

2.      Edward T Brady, b 15 Aug 1887

3.      Thomas Elsie Brady, b 7 Jul 1890

4.      Andrew Jackson Brady, b 8 Apr 1892

5.      child Brady, b & d 1890s (16u)

6.      child Brady, b & d 1890s (16u)

7.      James Robert Brady, b 5 Jan 1901

In 1900, close neighbors were other Brady families of age to be William’s siblings. (16u, 15rsm, 384v, 358w,95wfd)

         Deloris Holley [Y4a12d7b], daughter of Lewis Rogers Holley and Velma Aleen Whitworth, was born 29 July 1926 in District 10 in Giles Co. She married Howard Holland. (MA, 15f)

         Dora Viola Holley [Y4a1a17], daughter of John Thomas Holley and Martha Henrietta Keelin, was born in 1914 in TX. In 1930 she lived with her brother Charles at Duke, Jackson Co OK. (W,252f)

         Dolly C Holley [Y4a6d], daughter of Nathaniel Y Holley and Mary Ann Taylor, was born 16 January 1860 (age 5/12 in 1860, 10 in 1870, 20 in 1880) about midway between Bradshaw and Lynnville, Giles Co TN. She married Pleasant B Smith in Giles Co on 1 December 1883; Pleasant’s older brother J David Smith helped provide the marriage bond. Pleasant was born 28 July 1861 in Lincoln Co TN, son of John N Smith and Nancy Mary Cunningham, and died 21 December 1928. He was buried next to Dolly. Pleasant was named after his father’s younger brother. Dolly died 11 March 1907 and was buried in Center Point Cemetery in District 10. Her gravestone has a birth date of 16 January 1861, but the 1860 census places her birth in 1860. In 1900 they lived in Lincoln Co next door to his parents. This census is so faded that it is difficult to read, but it appears that Dolly and Pleasant had no children. After Dolly died Pleasant married widow Flournoy (Holley) Boatright on 4 July 1907 in Giles Co, and in 1910 they lived in Lincoln Co. She was born in TN in April 1878. When she married her first husband James W Boatright in Giles Co on 8 September 1897, they lived in District 10 next door to her brother Joseph Holley, and had a daughter Allean Willie Boatright who was born 23 November 1899. After Pleasant Smith died, Flournoy married a Mr Reed. She died in 1952 and was buried in Bradshaw Cemetery. Next to Dolly’s grave is Leona Perry Smith, born 15 Feb 1867, and died 26 Apr 1954. There was a marriage in Lincoln Co on 4 July 1898 between Leona Perry and Mr J E Smith; Joseph C Higgins helped provide the marriage bond.

Pleasant’s father John N Smith was born in 1834 in SC, son of David Smith and Sally _____, but grew up in Lincoln Co TN from infancy. He was the oldest child, and had a younger brother named Pleasant Smith. John married Nancy Mary Cunningham in Lincoln Co on 24 Aug 1853. She was born in Mar 1830 in TN. They lived their married live in Lincoln Co, and were still there in 1910. (15qrsmc, 16nrsmv)

         Dolly Caroline Holley [Y4a8], daughter of Mary T Young and John William Holley, was born 24 May 1831 in Giles Co TN. She married James Harrison Brooks about 1845, and in 1850 they lived in District 10 of Giles Co, next door to Dolly’s brother Thomas. James H was born 25 December 1821 in NC (TN per 1850 census, NC per other censuses). His father was either Stephen Brooks (1792 NC) and an unknown mother (married 30 September 1818 in Wilson Co TN), or J W Brooks, or A W Brooks. In NC in 1820 there were 89 Brooks families; in Giles Co TN there were two: George Brooks and William Byrd Brooks who settled in Giles Co in 1812 and whose wife was Sarah Paine. Of these two men, George had no sons in his home in 1820 (census page 29); William B did (census page 16). He had one son under age 10 and two older teen sons. William was born before 1776. there were also two young men in his home, a wife William's age, and nine females. It appears that William and wife were grandparents with two younger generations in their home in 1820. The only Holley families in Giles Co in 1820 were both named Nicholas, close to many Young families. This was Bradshaw Creek in northeast Giles Co. Nicholas Holley Sr would become the grandfather of Dolly Caroline Holley. In 1840 in Giles Co (page 112) was Dolly's family with her parents and seven siblings. The J W Brooks family was on page 110; he had a son age 15-19 then. A W Brooks was on page 144; he had a son age 15-19.

         James died 12 February 1891 at Chismville, Logan Co AR. His gravestone in Coles Chapel Cemetery near Branch, Franklin Co AR is amateurish (homemade?), and there are no dates. All that is readable is "J.H. Brooks." A much more recent gravestone was added which has his wife's name, and James' birth and death years. In 1860 they lived at Holly Springs, Dallas Co AR; in 1870 and 1880 they were in Franklin Co AR. After James died, Dolly moved to OK and died there on 6 June 1896. James served in the Union Army during the Civil War as a Medic. He and Dolly had ten children, the first five in Giles Co and the last five in AR-

         Easton Brown Holley [Y4a1b3c], son of Robert Bugg Holley, was born about 1907 in District 10, Giles Co TN. He always used his middle name. See his biography under that name.

         Eddie Leo Holley [Y4a1a15], son of John Thomas Holley and Martha Henrietta Keelin, was born 29 October 1905 in Fannin Co TX. He married Willie Irene Combs. Eddie died 28 August 1995 at Albuquerque, NM. They had a son-

         Edward G Holley [Y4a12e5a], son of Abraham Brown Holley and Maxie E Bass, was born in December 1927 in Giles Co TN. (MA, 15f)

         Edward W Holley [Y4a2], son of Mary T Young and John William Holley, was born 11 July 1821 in Giles Co TN (he was a teenage adult in 1840, age 30 in 1850, 39 in 1860, 51 in 1870, 60 in 1880). He grew up in Giles Co, was a farmer, and married Dicas _____ about 1840. She was born in 1820 in TN (her parents were also born in TN), and died between 1854 and 1860. They lived in District 11 in 1850 where he was a miller. After her death, Edward lived in the Lynnville area and was then a farmer. He then married Julia Ann Lanier in Giles Co on 2 November 1869. Julia was a widow when she married Edward. Her prior husband was Charles (or John Charles?) Vaughn. They married in Giles Co on 4 August 1866, then he died, and Julia married her neighbor Edward Holley. In 1870 she and Edward lived in District 11 (the District between District 10 and Pulaski). She was born in Giles Co about 1840, daughter of Edmund Lanier and Martha _____ who were born in VA. In 1880 Ed and Julia were living in District 16 (just north of District 11). Ed died in Giles Co on 10 October 1897. His children were-

m.     Aryee Z Holley, b Jun 1879

In 1840, Edward’s close neighbor was his uncle John Chumner Young [Y4d].

Julia Lanier apparently first married _____ Tarpley between 1860 and 1865 but had no children. He may have died (in the Civil War?) or they divorced, because she then married Charles or Jack (John Charles?) Vaughn in Giles Co on 4 August 1866, a widower and her next door neighbor in 1860. She was pregnant when Charles died and she then married Ed W Holley. After she and Ed married, Julia still had her stepson Charley Vaughn (born in Giles Co in 1859) living with her. Julia had a younger sister named Airy A Lanier, born about 1846; Julia named a daughter after this sister. (W,15jknqrsmc)

         Elisha William Holley [Y4a2h], son of Edward W Holley and Dicas _____, was born 10 March 1854 in Giles Co TN. He married Nancy Minnie Worsham in Giles Co on 11 December 1871 (marriage record definitely shows her name as Nancy Worsham), but in 1880 he was married to Minnie A Worsham (census record had her name as "M A" in 1880, age 27). Minnie’s name was from daughter Lillie’s death certificate. Nancy was born in November 1852 in TX (1844 per an incompetent 1900 census taker). She was born in Giles Co TN, daughter of William C Worsham and Mary E Taylor, and she died at Saltillo, Hopkins Co TX on 5 October 1914. Son Napoleon Holley’s death certificate named "Elizah Holley" and "Nancy Worsham" as his parents. Daughter Lillie’s death certificate stated that Lillie’s mother was Minnie Worsham. and Elisha’s death certificate stated that he was a son of "E W Holley" from TN and "Sally Worley" from TN, and Elisha’s wife was "Nancy Holley." Nancy had pre-dated Elisha in death. The informant for Elisha’s death certificate was J P Holley of Sulphur Springs, Hopkins Co TX. Therefore, Elisha’s wife was probably Nancy Minnie Worsham. Informant J P Holley also stated that Elisha was born 10 March 1847 in Giles Co TN. The 1900 Hunt Co census, though, said they married 8 years prior, and had eight children. So the number of years married must be wrong; 28 years was probably what they told the census taker.

         Elisha was a farmer, and lived in District 16 in Giles Co next door to his father, with wife "M A" in 1880 (census was hard to read). He was age 16 in 1870, age 26 in 1880, born in March 1845 per the 1900 census in Hunt Co TX and his wife was then Nancy, age 55. In 1920 (age 66) and in 1930 (age 78) Elisha lived with his daughter Lillie at Saltillo, Hopkins Co, and was a widower. He died 9 August 1937 and was buried in Old Saltillo Cemetery with Nancy. His gravestone says "Husband of Nancie." His wife Nancy stated that she had eight children by 1900, and seven were still alive; all but the youngest son were born in Giles Co TN-

In Hunt Co TX in the twenty or so years around 1900 there were three different Holley families. They were descendants of Nathaniel T Holley (born 1851 Columbia Co AR), a son of Pleasant Holley (born 1815) and Eliza _____, both from GA; and descendants of Elisha W Holley (born 1854 Giles Co TN); and descendants of John Robert Holley (born 1829 Giles Co) and wife Catherine _____. This John Robert Holley was a son of Nicholas Holley Jr (born 1795) and Emily _____ (born 1801) from Spartanburg Co SC. These last two Holley fathers, Nicholas Jr and Elisha W, were probably close cousins. If the Pleasant Holley from GA was a cousin, he was a very distant relative. (W,15qrms, 219vwfdc, 158u)

         Elizabeth Ann Holley [Y4a12e5c], daughter of Abraham Brown Holley and Maxie E Bass, was probably born in the early 1930s in Giles Co TN. (MA)

         Elizabeth Ann Holley [Y4a6a1g1], daughter of Samuel Alton Holley and Dolly Dimple Johnson, was born in 1944. She married Aubrey Hagan Russell in Giles Co on 8 October 1960. He was born 29 July 1933, son of James Russell, and died at Pulaski on 13 December 1999. (Z,15m)

         Elizabeth Jane Holley [Y4a3j], daughter of Nicholas J Holley and Margaret S Tucker, was born 13 October 1860 in District 10 of Giles Co TN. She gave her age as 10 years in 1870, 21 in 1880, 43 in 1900, and 48 in 1910 (and was married for 34 years) which would put her birth date at around 1860. Her death certificate gave the above birth date. She married William Martin Bradford in Giles Co on 12 September 1877 and they at first lived in District 10. W B Chiles helped provide the marriage bond. William was born 13 May 1853 at Cades Cove, Blount Co TN, son of Bennett B Bradford from NC and Mary Arena Ledbetter from GA, and died on 1 March 1922 at home at Dallas. He grew up in Lincoln Co TN and in TX he was a stock rancher and a lumberman. They had a son by 1880, then about 1890 moved to Nolan Co TX. In 1910 they lived at Sweetwater, Nolan Co. Eliza died at Dallas on 24 February 1942 but lived at University Park, Dallas Co then. She was buried at Sweetwater with William. Mrs W G Bradford was the informant for her death certificate. They had nine children by 1900, with seven still alive in 1910-

         Ella Holley [Y4a1a1h], daughter of Charles Ernest Holley and Martha Alice Keelin, was born about 1910 at Duke, Jackson Co OK. She probably married in Jackson Co in the late 1920s since she was not living with her parents in 1930. (W,252v)

         Ella A Holley [Y4a3d1], daughter of William T Holley and Victoria Ann Harwell, was born 26 September 1875 in District 10 in Giles Co. She was not married when she died 1 November 1967. She was buried in Center Point Cemetery in District 10. (GY,15suwfxc)

James Richard Clark was born at Eros, Jackson Par LA on 12 Apr 1855, and died 25 Feb 1950 at Erick, Beckham Co OK. His wife Laura was born in TX on 19 Jan 1864, married James in 1901, and died 30 Apr 1937 at Erick. (W,Z,334u, 252vwf,316c)

         Erin Holley [Y4a1a4a6c], daughter of Carroll Ray Holley and Frankie Lee Evans, married Adam Owen and in 2008 they lived at Mansfield, Tarrant Co TX.

         Eva E Holley [Y4a2j], daughter of Edward W Holley and Julia Ann Lanier, was born 10 December 1871 in Giles Co TN (age 7 in 1880, 49 in 1930). She married Thomas A Doggett in Giles Co on 15 June 1890 and they lived in Marshall Co in 1900 and 1910. Thomas was born 20 March 1869 in TN (age 34 in 1900, 41 in 1910, 51 in 1920, 61 in 1930), son of William F Doggett and Elizabeth C Allen. Because of who their very close neighbors were in 1920 and 1930, it would appear that Eva was a daughter of a brother of Abraham B Holley [Y4a12], but not Abraham because he had no daughter of that age and name. See note following. Eva died 9 November 1935 and Thomas on 6 June 1931, probably in District 10 of Giles Co where they lived in 1920 and 1930. His gravestone has a birth date of 1867, yet many census records show that it was 1869. They were buried in Robertson Fork Church Cemetery on the Giles-Marshall county line. They had four children by 1910-

1.      Elsie Doggett, b Jan 1891

2.      child Doggett, b & d 1890s. (17uv)

3.      Hurshel Doggett, b 25 Jul 1895

4.      child Doggett, b & d 1890s. (17uv)

Their very close neighbors in 1920 were James T Holley [Y4a12b], Ottie Nathaniel Holley [Y4a12e1], and Willie Edgar Holley [Y4a12a5], all sons or grandsons of Abraham B Holley. In 1930 close neighbors were: B F Holley, age 23 (son of Lee Jackson Holley) and his wife Vera; John William Holley [Y4a12a] and his wife Dovie Redd; Lewis Rogers Holley [Y4a12d7] and his wife Velma Holley (daughter of Lee Jackson Holley and Delia Gertrude Houser); Johnnie Whitworth [Y4a2a11a] and her husband Willie Collins; and James Rivers Holley [Y4a12d4] and his wife Ollie Mae. Thomas A Doggett’s first cousin Pleasant Miller Doggett (son of George Washington Doggett and Sarah Ann Scott, both buried in Robertson Fork Cemetery) and Miller’s wife Louisa Crafton lived next door in 1900. Louisa was Miller’s second wife. The first was Sarah A Bell. Thomas’ father William F Doggett was born 17 Nov 1811 in Giles Co (in the part which became Marshall Co in 1836), son of Jesse Doggett (1763-1834) and Delilah Griffis (1787-1871). William F was an older brother of Geo W, father of Pleasant Miller Doggett. So Pleasant M Doggett and Thomas A Doggett were first cousins.

Thomas A Doggett’s parents William F Doggett and Elizabeth C Allen were both buried in Robertson Fork Cemetery on the Giles-Marshall County line. He was born 17 Nov 1811, died 11 Mar 1883; she was born 29 May 1831, and died 18 Jan 1904. William’s brother George was buried three graves away, and the two graves between William and George were for "Tennessee Doggett" and "Martin Doggett," neither with any dates. These two may be the two missing children who died in the 1890s.

Robertson Fork Church in the 1830s was the church of Rufus Knight Young [Y9] and his wife Rebecca Young [Y1e], and was often called Roberson Fork Church, without the T. (W,10m, 15mscwf, 17uvf)

         Frances D Holley [Y4a2a5], daughter of John P Holley and Elizabeth Green McMillan, was born about 1873 in Giles Co. Her father was buried in Evans Cemetery in Giles Co, and this Cemetery is the only one found which also has Wolf graves nearby. Living close to Evans Cemetery in 1900 was Fannie D Wolf, wife of John M Wolf. Fanny Holley had married John Wolf in Giles Co on 12 March 1893. This was his second marriage because there were older Wolf children at home in 1900 who were born years before Fannie’s marriage. John M Wolf was born in August 1853 in TN, so was old enough to be Fannie’s father. He died in 1948 and was buried with Fanny in Lynnwood Cemetery at Lynnville. She and John may have had a daughter-

In 1900 he lived with his parents in Hunt Co TX. George and Ophelia married in TX since she was already living in Fannin Co in 1900, unmarried.

She was only found in the 1880 census, age 4, and was listed between brother Wyatt and sister Lillie. Her mother, in 1900, claimed that she had eight children, with seven still alive then, and the eldest child was the one who had died, so this daughter with the strange name had probably married and was still alive in 1900. (15s)

         Horace Brown Holley [Y4a12d9], son of Henry A Holley and Alice Martha Helmick, was born 7 June 1909 in District 10, Giles Co.

         Howard Holley [Y4a1b3b], son of Robert Bugg Holley and Ida Lou Watson, was born in TN on 12 January 1903 (age 23 in 1930).

They married in Giles Co on 25 December 1924. Because Howard’s mother’s name was so unique, this must be the correct Howard, even though Howard’s father in 1930 was John H Holley, age 81, not John M Holley. Over the years, Howard’s age was consistently given as if he was born in 1904; he lived with his parents in Giles Co in 1910; in Lincoln Co in 1920, and back in Giles Co at Pulaski in 1930. In all of the census records, his mother was living in the same home with him. His wife Velma was born 19 April 1905 in District 10 of Giles Co TN (age 3 in 1910, age 21 in 1930), daughter of Joseph Perry Holley and Violet Anna Mitchell, and died at Pulaski on 1 September 1985.

         John Mack Holley [Y4a3c], son of Nicholas J Holley and Margaret S Tucker, was born in March 1848 in District 10 in Giles Co. On 29 August 1875 in Giles Co he married Martha M Harwell, daughter of Franklin M Harwell and Ariadne McKnight. Martha was born in Giles Co on 9 April 1856, and died 15 June 1887. She was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery at Frankewing. John was a farmer and lived most of his life in the District 10 area. After Martha died, he and his daughter lived with John's brother Bill. Then on 30 November 1900 in Giles Co he married Isa Richardson. The marriage bond was posted by John's brother Garner C Holley [Y4a3n]. Isa was born in Marshall Co TN in May 1873, daughter of James Isham Richardson (1837-1918) and Mary Jane Sorrells (1836-1920), and lived in district 10 of Giles Co in 1900. Both Isa and John M lived at in District 10 in Giles Co in 1910 with two children, and at Pulaski, Giles Co in 1930 with their son. John had two children-

1.      Inez L Holley, b Jan 1878

2.      Howard P Holley, b 1904 (58, 15nqrmsuvfc, 17sv,16w)

         John P Holley [Y4a2a], son of Edward W Holley and Dicas _____, was born 3 November 1841 in Giles Co. He married Elizabeth Green McMillan and she was his second wife. His eldest daughter, Betty, died at Houston, TX and her death certificate named Betty’s mother as Mary Caroline Curtis (but it also named Betty’s father as Tom Holly). Betty, though, was the only Betty Holley or Holly born in Giles Co about 1861, married there, and then moved to TX leaving enough records in TX to show her name and correct birth date in order to identify her family in Giles Co.

         Wife number two, Elizabeth, was born in TN in May 1846, and was living in District 16 in Giles Co in 1900, a widow. John died in May 1892 and was buried in Evan's Cemetery about eight miles north of Pulaski, two miles south of Waco. Elizabeth said, in the 1900 census, that she had 12 children, all still alive, yet other Giles Co census records do not indicate more than nine or ten. Since John and Elizabeth were not found in Giles Co in 1870, they could have had children born in the early 1860s and who married in the late 1870s, whom we do not know of. Lincoln Co had only two Holley families in that county in 1870, and there were no similarities to John P Holley.

         There were two death certificates at Sulphur Springs, Hopkins Co which named parents "John Holley" and "Green McMillan." The two deceased were George W Holley, born in 1882, and W T Holley, born in 1869. Therefore John P Holley’s second wife was Elizabeth Green McMillan. John's children were-

1.      Betty Holley, b Oct 1861

2.      child Holley, b 1860s, alive 1900

3.      child Holley, b 1860s, alive 1900

4.      William T Holley, b 10 Oct 1869

5.      Frances D Holley, b Mar 1873

6.      L A Holley (dau), b 1875

7.      Mattie Holley, b May 1877

8.      Susan Ida Holley, b 20 Apr 1880

9.      George Washington Holley, b 27 Jan 1882

10.    Henry Lee Holley, b 23 Sep 1884

11.    Lizzie Holley, b Mar 1886

12.    Rosabell Holley, b 24 Nov 1888

In Hopkins Co TX there were two different Holley families. One was John P Holley [Y4a2a] and his brother of Elisha William Holley [Y4a2h] and their descendants. The second Holley family was William Edgar Holley, born 1 Dec 1886, died 10 Nov 1931, and his wife Allie Evelyn Britt, born 6 Dec 1882, died 10 Mar 1876. This family was often buried in Mount Zion Cemetery, while the families of brothers John P and Elisha W were buried in Old Saltillo Cemetery in Hopkins Co. (15nqsmcu)

         John Pinckney Holley [Y4a2h6], son of Elisha William Holley and Nancy Minnie A Worsham, was born 24 April 1883 in Giles Co TN. He was shown to be James Holley in 1900, age 17, even though there was another son named James, age 15. But the death record of John Pinckney Holley shows his birth date as shown above, and his parents were "E W Holley" and "Nannie Worsham." The census taker made a mistake in 1900. When John registered for the draft, he named Gertie Bell Holley as his nearest relative, and they lived at Sulphur Bluff, Hopkins Co. John was deaf in one ear. He had married Gertie Chambliss in 1904 and they lived in Hopkins Co in 1910 and 1920, then were in Hunt Co in 1930. John died at Campbell, Hunt Co on 11 March 1957 and was buried in Bethel Cemetery at Greenville, Hunt Co. He was married when he died. The signature of the informant on the death certificate is very faded, but it appears to be Leslie Holley. Gertie was born in TN on 11 February 1886 and grew up in Hunt Co TX. She was a daughter of Tate Williams Chambliss and Polly Ann Osborn, and died 4 January 1978. She was also buried in Bethel Cemetery. They had four children by 1910, all born in TX, and three still alive-

a.      child Holley, b & d about 1905 (219v)

b.      Dora Nancy Holley, b 15 Mar 1907

c.      Johnnie June Holley, b 1908, died in the 1910s. (219v)

d.      Mary Holley, b 1910 (219vw)

John and Gertie were the only two Holley graves in Bethel Cemetery. Tate Williams Chambliss was born 16 Nov 1858 in TN, and died 17 May 1914. He was buried in Bethel Cemetery in Hunt Co. Polly Ann Osborn was born 17 Jan 1856 TN, married Tate in 1878 in TN, and they moved to TX in 1887. Polly died in Hunt Co on 31 Jul 1915 and was buried in Bethel Cemetery. (M,158ufdc, 219vw)

         John Robert Holley [Y4a10b], son of Isaac P Holley and Martha A Caldwell, was born 8 November 1864 in Giles Co TN. He married Mattie Lillian Redus on 12 March 1890 at Elkmont, Limestone Co AL. In 1900 they lived at Palestine, Anderson Co TX, and were still there in 1930. John died 23 January 1937 at Palestine and was buried there the next day in the Palestine Cemetery Annex. Marvin Holley was the informant for his death certificate, and named "Ike Holley" as John’s father. John was a brakeman for the railroad for over 35 years, and retired one year before he died. His wife Mattie was born in Morgan Co AL on 27 July 1872, eldest daughter of Robert Loutellous Redus and Mary Jane Sigman, and died on 29 December 1944 at Rusk, Cherokee Co TX in the State Hospital, of complications from syphilis. She was buried at Palestine. They had four children by 1910, with three still alive, and finally at least nine-

8.      Clifford Pierce Holley, b 5 May 1911

9.      Hazel Bernice Holley, b 6 Jan 1914

John’s brother Tom G Holley lived with John and Mattie in 1900 at Palestine.

Mattie’s parents lived in Limestone Co AL in 1880 and 1900, but were at Palestine, TX in 1907 when Mattie’s mother died. Mattie’s father died at there on 30 Jul 1914 and was buried at Palestine. He was born 22 Mar 1845 in Limestone Co AL. His wife Mary Jane was born in Feb 1855 in GA, married Robert L on 19 Oct 1871 at Morgan City, GA, and died 27 May 1907 at Palestine. Many of Mattie’s siblings moved to Palestine by 1907; two of her brothers worked for Missouri Pacific Railroad. The Redus family members were usually buried in East Hill Cemetery at Palestine, while the Holley family were buried in the Palestine City Cemetery’s New Annex. (L,W,15rs, 46su, 233ufd)

         John Robert Holley [Y4a1a1a], son of Charles Ernest Holley and Martha Alice Keelin, was born 13 January 1894 at Bonham, Fannin Co TX, and lived in Jackson Co OK in June 1917. He died on 1 August 1980 at Austin, TX. John had married Emma Clark and they had a son-

1.      J C Holley (W) (TXd,M,Z,W188u, 252w)

         John Robert Holley [Y4a10b3], son of John Robert Holley and Mattie Lillian Redus, was born 1 July 1896 at Nashville, TN, and lived at Fort Worth, TX in June 1917. He registered for the WW1 draft at Fort Worth, and named his closest relative as "J R Holley Sr" of "Palestine, Tex." John was telephone equipment salesman. He married Nannie Belle Penick in the late 1910s and in 1920 they lived at Longview, Gregg Co. She was born 22 February 1899 in Gregg Co, daughter of Eugene Beria Penick and Susan Ada Causey, and died 4 August 1991. John died at Houston on 27 June 1963; Nannie was the informant for his death certificate. She and John were buried in the Penick family plot in Grace Hill Cemetery at Longview where her parents were buried. They had a son-

a.      Robert Eugene Holley, b 22 Oct 1924 at Palestine, Anderson Co TX, died at Longview, Gregg Co on 15 December 1941. He was buried in the Penick family plot in Grace Hill Cemetery at Longview. (233b, 55dc)

Eugene Beria Penick was born 11 Jan 1855 in KY, died 16 Nov 1934 at Longview, TX, and was buried in Grace Hill Cemetery at Longview. Susan Ada Causey was born 2 Oct 1866 in TX, married Eugene in Gregg Co on 17 Mar 1886, and died 7 Nov 1954. Sh was alo buried in Grace Hill Cemetery. (M,W, 233uvw, 83d, 55c)

         John T Holley [Y4a11a], son of John W Holley and Margaret _____, was born in October 1869 in Giles Co TN (age 8/12 in 1870; born Jan 1868 per 1900 census; age 42 in 1910, 52 in 1920). He married Mary Elda Clift in Giles Co on 9 December 1885. In the marriage record, his name was "J T Holley" and Elda was "M E Clift," and help with the marriage bond was by "C G Holley" (first cousin Calloway Garner Holley [Y4a3n]?). Mary Elda was born in April 1865 in Hardeman Co TN, daughter of James B Clift and Mary Jane Hogan. John was a farmer, and he and Elda lived in District 10 for years. In 1900 his name was John T Holley and his wife was "Marry." In 1870 he was J T Holley; in 1910 he was Jas T (in error by the census taker) and his wife was Mary E; in 1920 his name was J T Holley and his wife was Elda. John died in 19__ but the date cannot be read on his gravestone in Mount Pleasant Cemetery at Diana. Elda died in 1936 and was buried next to John. They had but one child by 1910-

1.      child Holley, born and died between 1886 and 1900 in Giles Co. (15uv)

See William G Holley [Y4a1b]. He married Sarah M Clift, born in 1850 in TN.

There was a James T Holley, born about the same time John T was born, and these two both lived in District 10 of Giles Co. They can easily be confused when they both use just their initials and not a full name. James T was a son of Abraham B Holley [Y4a12] and his wife Phoebe. (15rumvwc)

         John Thomas Holley [Y4a1a], son of Thomas R Holley and Matilda Taylor, was born 19 June 1844 in District 10, Giles Co and lived in District 10 (was age 25 in 1880).

John started out as a farmer, but was a blacksmith by 1880 in District 10. He and his family were not found in Giles Co afterwards. They had moved to Fannin Co TX where Mary died on 22 July 1889. She was buried in New Hope Cemetery in Fannin Co. Her gravestone said "M E Holley / Wife of J T" with the dates. Their son Thomas was also buried in New Hope Cemetery. John then married again, to Mrs Elizabeth (Parks) Keelin about 1890, in TX. She was the widow of Robert Green Keelin of Murrays, Daviess Co KY. See Keelin Note below. Eliza died soon after one child, and then John married Martha Henrietta "Retter" Keelin as his third wife about 1893 in TX. They lived in Fannin Co to about 1907 when they moved to Jackson Co OK. Martha was born in KY in July 1871. In June 1917 she was living in Jackson Co OK and was a widow. John had died 20 April 1917 and was buried in Cottonwood Cemetery near Duke, Jackson Co.

Robert Green Keelin, born about 1848 in NC, lived at Murrays, Daviess Co KY in 1880 with his wife Elizabeth Parks. They moved to Fannin Co KY around 1890, and he died there by the early 1890s. His widow Elizabeth, born in 1844 in KY, married John Thomas Holley, recently a widower himself. Elizabeth then died about 1892 in Fannin Co KY, after one child with John. Robert Green Keelin, born about 1848 in NC, lived at Murrays, Daviess Co KY in 1880 with his wife Elizabeth Parks. They were the parents of Martha Alice Keeling, the wife of John’s eldest son Charles, and of Sarah Jane Keeling, wife of John’s son John T Holley Jr. The third wife of John T Holley (Sr) was probably a close relative of Martha and Sarah, but how she was related is not known.

There was a William Holley living in Fannin Co’s District 75 in 1900. He was from KY, born in August 1874. John Thomas Holley’s family was in District 82. (W,15nqmrs, 188uc, 252vc)

         Matilda C Fannie Holley [Y4a1f], daughter of Thomas R Holley and Matilda Taylor, was born in September 1856 in District 10, Giles Co TN. Over the years, her name usage changed, causing researchers to think there were two women, one named Matilda and the other named Fannie. There was no marriage record for a Matilda Holley in the mid-1870s in central TN, but there was one between "Saml H Nichols" and "Fannie Holly" in Giles Co on 14 May 1874. Until then, she was only found as Matilda C Holley.

         Our subject was Matilda C, age 6 in 1860, and Matilda C, age 15 in 1870; in 1860 and 1870 she lived with her father and siblings in northeast Giles Co. She was Matilda C in 1880, age 24 and married to Samuel H Nichols; the children in her home then were sons Marion R, Robert D, and William E. In 1900 Matilda was still Matilda C, age 43, and married to "Huston Nichols;" the older sons in her home then were Robert and Early, with ages matching those of Robert and William E in the 1880 census; the younger sons were Ollie, Henry, Butler, Ira, and Sank. In 1910 Matilda was then called Fannie (as was her marriage name); she was age 53, married to S Huse, and in their home were sons Ollie, Butler, Ira, and Sank. In 1920 she was Fannie, age 65, and she and Samuel H lived with their son Sank; Samuel was age 70 then. In 1930 she was Matilda C again, age 73 and was a widow; in her home was son Ira. There can be no doubt as to Matilda’s more complete name, and whom she married.

         Matilda was born and lived in District 10 of Giles Co, until sometime after 1880. In 1900 she and her husband lived in nearby Lewis Co where Houston was an iron ore miner. In 1910 they were in Maury Co where he was a night watchman for a factory. In 1920 they were in Giles Co (District 14), and Samuel was retired. In 1930 Matilda was living at Columbia, Maury Co.

         Samuel Houston Nichols was born in TN in June 1850 (age 29 in 1880, 52 in 1900, 54 in 1910, 70 in 1920). Neither Samuel nor Matilda could write. "Fannie Holley" was buried in Arlington Cemetery at Mt Pleasant, Maury Co. Her gravestone has her dates just as years: 1856-1936. "Sam Houston Nichols" was buried with Fannie. His gravestone also has just the years 1850-1926. They had three sons by 1880, and nine by 1900 with eight still alive in 1910. All were born in TN-

1.      Marion Reeves Nichols, b 25 Mar 1875

c.      Easton Brown Holley, b Oct 1906

Billie Carral Holley, born 10 Jun 1936, died two days later and was buried next to Robert’s grave in Center Point Cemetery at Bradshaw. Hence, Billie was probably a grandson of Robert and Ida Perhas.

         Rufus Washington Holley [Y4a3m2], son of William Harrison Holley and Della Ophelia Harwell, was born in District 10, Giles Co TN on 13 December 1888. His gravestone shows his birth date as 1890, but that would conflict with his brother Marvin’s birth date; Marvin’s birth was 26 July 1890 (gravestone date). The 1900 census shows Rufus’ birth date as "Dec 1887, age 12." When he registered for the draft in June 1917, he gave his birth date as 13 December 1889, but it was quite common for young men in the draft to appear a year younger than they actually were. He attended school for 3½ months in 1900. Rufus married his third cousin, Clemma B Harwell [Y4h1a3] in Giles Co on 28 July 1909. She was a daughter of Fannie Mayes Harwell and Thomas Joseph Harwell, and was born in Giles Co on 23 December 1894. She died 2 March 1917.

         Sam Hugh Holley [Y4a3m6], son of William Harrison Holley and Della Ophelia Harwell, was born 10 September 1898 in Lincoln Co TN. He registered for the WW1 draft in Lincoln Co TN using the name Hughey Holley, and stated that he lived at Frankewing, and that his father was W H Holley. Hughey then gave his birth date as 10 September 1900. He was age 11 in 1910, and age 20 in 1920. He generally used the name Hugh or Hughey. He married Elsie Mae Seagraves in Giles Co on 7 February 1927 and they lived there in the District 10 area. Hughey was buried next to his parents in Mount Zion Cemetery at Frankewing.

She was born 10 July 1918 in District 8, Giles Co, daughter of Mary Eliza Young and Oscar Robert Kirk. Marjorie Kirk lived at Pulaski when she died on 20 April 1940 in Giles Co, and was buried in Maplewood Cemetery at Pulaski. Her death record named her parents as "Oscar Kirk" who was born in Coffee Co TN and "Marie Kirk" who was born in Maury Co. There is another marriage record in Giles Co for Samuel Alton Holley of Prospect who married Dolly Dimple Johnson of Prospect on 25 October 1942. Samuel Alton Holley was then age 32, which closely agrees with the birth date given on his gravestone. Dolly was born in 1923, daughter of John Johnson and Dolly Hardin. On 26 October 1975 Dolly married Frank Russell in Giles Co. Sam and Dimple had two daughters-

1.      Elizabeth Ann Holley, b 1944

In 1910 they lived in Lincoln Co’s District 15, but were in Giles Co’s District 10 in 1920. Florence was born in District 10 of Giles Co on 24 February 1887, daughter of James M McLin and Frances E Montgomery. Samuel and Florence divorced in the 1920s, and Florence moved to Old Hickory, Davidson Co with their two daughters. Florence died there on 13 October 1975 and was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery in Giles Co. Samuel married for the second time, to Ida ____ about 1924. She was born in TN in 1892. They had no children by 1930 and then lived in District 10 next door to widow Victoria Harwell (widow of William T Holley [Y4a3d]), and Horace Brown Holley [Y4a12d9]. Samuel’s daughters were-

Florence’s father was the Justice of the Peace who married William Shelby Holley [Y4a6a3]. James M McLin and Frances E Montgomery married in Giles Co on 30 Sep 1869. (M,Z, 16uv, 15uvwmc, 18f)

         Sandra Louise Holley [Y4a12a5c2], daughter of J D Holley and Mary Dean Clift, was born 30 April 1951 at Fayetteville, Lincoln Co TN. She married James D Randolph Jr in Lincoln Co on 9 October 1965, and had a son. She then married Henry Lee Pierce in Lincoln Co on 14 October 1971 and had another son.

         Sarah Holley [Y4a2b], daughter of Edward W Holley and Dicas _____, was born about 1842 in Giles Co TN. She was not found in the 1860 Giles census when she would have been about 18 years old, so may have recently married, or may have died in the 1850s. (15nq)

         Sarah Dean "Deana" Holley [Y4a3n2a], daughter of Joseph Clyde Holley and Minnie Lee Littrell, was born 22 November 1911 in Giles Co TN. She was not named when brother Grady died in 1981. Deana died 17 October 1976. She also was not in the 1930 census with her parents since she had married Harwell Jones in Lincoln Co on 19 October 1928. In 1930 they lived at Cornersville, Marshall Co. He worked for the railroad, and was born in KY on 2 November 1908, son of J B Jones, a railroad section hand in 1920, and Grace ____. Harwell and his parents moved to Marshall Co about 1915. He died at Columbia, Boone Co MO in December 1971. (79,Z,15wG, 17w,16m)

She married Harbard Houston Harwell on 28 December 1869 in Giles Co. He was a farmer and they lived in District 10. Sarah died in 1921 and was buried in Mount Zion Cemetery at Frankewing. There is a gravestone with Harbard's birth date on it in the same Cemetery, but it has no death date. Even then, Harbard is probably buried there since Sarah and two of their children are. He was born in 1848 in Giles Co son of Thomas Paine Harwell and Martha R McKnight. Sarah and Harbard had at least three children-

1.      Alice W Harwell, b 25 Mar 1871

Her family name was not found in all of TX in 1910, but there were at least eleven Massey families in Cooke Co alone. Hence, Ora’s name was probably misspelled on the birth record of her daughter. Ora was born in 1901 in Cooke Co. She and Sidney had two daughters, both born in Cooke Co TX-

         Thelby C "Buddy" Holley [Y4a12a6g], son of Earnie D Holley and Julia Elice Sanders, was probably born in Lincoln Co TN in the 1930s. (W)

         Therar Holley [Y4a1b1b], daughter of William Thomas Holley and Erma Dyer, was born in September 1894 in Giles Co TN. She was not found with the family in 1910 in Navarro Co TX, and had probably died there before April 1910. (15u,235v)

         Thomas G Holley [Y4a10d], son of Isaac P Holley and Martha A Caldwell, was born in August 1869 in Giles Co TN (age 35 in 1900). In 1900 he lived with his brother John Robert Holley at Palestine, Anderson Co TX, and was divorced. There is a grave in Center Point Cemetery in District 10, Giles Co for "T G Holley" who was born 11 Jul 1870, and died 22 Apr 1907. This grave is next to the graves of William T Holley [Y4a3d] and his family. (15rsc, 233u)

         Thomas Nathaniel Holley [Y4a1d4], son of Nathaniel Taylor Holley and Emily L Sharp, was born 13 January 1883 in Greer Co TX (now is Greer Co OK), and married Maude L Webber in Kiowa Co, Oklahoma Territory on 15 November 1903. He was age 21 and Maude was age 16. She was born 26 April 1887 in Coryell Co TX, daughter of John R Webber and Margaret Ann Prentice. In 1920 they lived at Mountain Park, Kiowa Co, had no children, and Maude’s elderly parents lived with them. Maude and Tom both died at Mountain Park and are buried in Mountain Park Cemetery. She died 4 October 1946 and he died 10 February 1965. A Mrs Maude L Holley, born in Oklahoma Territory in 1893, lived at Wilson, Carter Co in 1920, and her husband was Jiles V Holley, born in MS in 1895; in 1930 Maude was a widow living at Wilson with her children. Her mother, Mrs Margaret Lassiter, was born in MS. This Maude was not Thomas Nathaniel’s wife since she had at least nine children. (ED,M,W, 241u, 149mw,243wf)

         Thomas R Holley [Y4a1], son of Mary T Young and John William Holley, was born 20 June 1820 in TN, probably the District 10 area since all evidence indicates that this is where his parents lived during their whole married life. In 1820 in the Giles-Lincoln-Maury Co area, there were just two Holley families, both in Giles Co, both were Nicholas Holley, both lived next to each other, and both lived just a few doors from Nathaniel Young and Rufus Young. These two Young families lived in eastern Giles Co close to the Lincoln and Marshall County line with Giles Co (Rufus belonged to Robertson Fork Church in the 1820s). Hence, both Holley families were in the Bradshaw Creek area. In these two Holley homes, Nicholas Sr has two boys under age 10; Nicholas Jr had one. Nicholas Sr had no females of age to be Thomas R Holley’s mother; Nicholas Jr did. But before Nicholas Jr can be declared as the father of Thomas, we must remember that Thomas was born in late June, after the census was taken. Hence, the 1820 census was no help in identifying Thomas’s father. Thomas’ parents could have been living with his mother’s family in 1820, but Mary’s parents also were not found in 1820.

         In 1830 in Giles Co there were five Holley families (spelled Holly without the E): A Holly, Jno Holly, Wm Holly, Nicholas Holly Sr, and Nicholas Holly Jr (these two lived next to each other). Of all these families, only John, Nicholas Jr, and William had sons who were of age to be Thomas R Holley. Tom married Matilda Taylor about 1843. She was born in TN about 1818, and died between 1850 and 1854, perhaps at the birth of daughter Matilda. In 1850 and 1860 Mrs Mary Taylor, born about 1786 in VA, was living with Thomas and his children. This was Matilda's mother, Mary Rea, who had been a widow since about 1819. Matilda Taylor's father was John Taylor who had moved to Giles Co about 1818 from Henry Co VA with his wife and family. After the death of Matilda, Thomas never remarried.

         In 1860 he and his children lived next door to his parents in Giles Co, and his late wife’s mother lived with him. After the 1860s he either lived with his children or parents. There is a belief that Thomas was not a son of Mary T Young and John William Holley, but was instead a son of Mary's brother-in-law Nicholas Holley Jr. The census evidence does not support this since Thomas lived with Mary T Young and John William Holley in 1870. Living next door in 1870 were Isaac P Holley and Nathaniel Y Holley, Thomas’ younger brothers. In 1880 Thomas was still in District 10 of Giles Co, living with his son John T, and son William G lived nearby. In 1900 Thomas was still in District 10 living with son William, and in the meanwhile Thomas’ son Nathaniel T Holley lived in Greer Co OK at Mangum. Apparently Thomas was at Nathaniel’s home when he died on 7 October 1907. Thomas was buried in Quartz Cemetery in Greer Co. His children were-

a.      John Thomas Holley, b 19 Jun 1844

b.      William G Holley, b Oct 1846

c.      James K Holley, b 1848

d.      Nathaniel Taylor Holley, b 1 July 1849

e.      Mary A Holley, b 1852

f.       Matilda C Fannie Holley, b Sep 1854 (58,GE, 15jknqrsu,241uc)

         Thurman B Holley [Y4a3n5], son of Garner Calloway Holley and Bulah A Summers, was born 20 July 1896 in Giles Co TN (age 19 in 1920). He married Mary Lucille Holley in Lincoln Co on 28 July 1919, and in 1920 they lived in District 10 Giles Co next to his parents. She was born 2 June 1902 at Pulaski, daughter of Lee Jackson Holley and Delia Gertrude Houser, and died at Pulaski on 26 January 1982. Thurman died 12 April 1954 in Giles Co. They were buried in Pulaski's Maplewood Cemetery. They had three children by 1930, and three more afterwards-

a.      Violet Gertrude Holley, b 29 Jan 1921

         Tinie Holley [Y4a12e3], daughter of Early Nathaniel Holley and Eliza Victoria Redd, was born about 1901 in District 10, Giles Co TN. (15uv)

         Tippie R Holley [Y4a1b5], daughter of William G Holley and Sarah M Clift, was born 3 May 1891 in District 10, Giles Co TN. She married Samuel Jenkins Williams about 1913. He was born 4 March 1887, and died 26 March 1936. Tippie died 13 August 1964. They were buried in Center Point Cemetery in District 10. By 1920 they had two children-

a.      Edward Williams, b 1915 (15w)

b.      Sarah Williams, b 1919 (15w)

In 1920 they lived in District 10 next to her brothers Henry Arnie Holley [Y4a1b4] and Robert Bugg Holley [Y4a1b3]. (15uvwc)

         Tommy A Holley [Y4a1a6], son of John Thomas Holley and Mary E Trentham, was born 10 October 1880 in District 10, Giles Co TN (gravestone date in 1876), and died 13 June 1882. He was buried next to his mother in New Hope Cemetery in Fannin Co TX. His gravestone said, in addition to the dates, "Son of J T & M E Holley." Tommy’s birth date on 1876 conflicts with his brother Willis Brown Holley. Also, Tommy was not shown with his family in the 1880 census. Therefore, since he was buried in TX and not in TN, and the family moved to Fannin Co in the mid-1880s, then we have to assume that Tommy was born in TN after the summer census of 1880 and went with his family to TX as a baby, and died there in 1882, or was born in TX soon after they arrived, and died there. His actual birth date was therefore about 1880 or 1881, not 10 Oct 1876 as shown on his gravestone. This would be more plausible if we found the actual birth date of his sister Winnie (born in 1882); she were both born in TN, but brother Nathaniel was born in TX in 1887. So Tommy must have been born in 1880, or was born in 1881 and Winnie was born a year later, or both dates are wrong and he was born in the four year gap between Winnie and Nathaniel. For now, sine his parents are correct, but until the birth date is no longer in doubt, it will be assumed that Tommy was born in late 1880. (JY, 188c)

         Ulva Rivers Holley [Y4a1b1a], son of William Thomas Holley and Erma Dyer, was born 1 May 1892 at Pulaski, Giles Co TN. He was not married by the end of 1919, and lived with his parents in Navarro Co TX then. He died at home at Dallas on 24 December 1964 of a heart attack and was buried in Post Oak Cemetery at Roane, Navarro Co. May Kathryn Atkins, his wife, was the informant for Ulva’s death certificate. She was born in 1892 also, but in AR. They had moved to Dallas about 1953. Their two children were both born in Navarro Co-

1.      Harold Rivers Holley, b 5 Feb 1925

2.      Erma Gene Holley, b 1 Aug 1927

Living next door in 1930 were Ulva’s parents and brother Roy. (M,TXd,235vwbf, 56d)

         Vallie Allane Holley [Y4a1b4a], daughter of Joe Henry Arnie Holley and Lottie Holley [Y4a12d1], was born 15 December 1908 in District 10, Giles Co TN. She moved to Pulaski when she was a young adult, and got a job there in a cigar factory. After 1930 she married Walter McGavock, and died 8 November 1975 at Pulaski. Walter was born 12 May 1908, and died 27 May 1992 at Pulaski. Both are buried in Maplewood Cemetery next to her parents. (Z,15bvwfc)

         Vallie Lee Holley [Y4a12e7], daughter of Early Nathaniel Holley and Eliza Victoria Redd, was born 7 January 1910 at Diana, Giles Co TN and died of whooping cough on 30 July 1910 in District 10. (15ubvd)

         Valloice Catherine Holley [Y4a1a4a4], daughter of Willis Ray Holley and Theresa Kathryn Metzler, was born in January 1930 in Cooke Co TX. She married Dan Moody Livingston, and in 2008 she lived at Athens, Henderson Co TX. Dan was born in 1926. On 16 August 1944 he enlisted in the US Army at Dallas, but was from Cooke Co. He was not yet married when he enlisted. They had three children-

a.      Cynthia Danette Livingston, b 26 Sep 1949

b.      Daniel Matthew Livingston, b 1 Mar 1953

c.      Robert Ray Livingston, b 29 Mar 1956 (M,251bf, 256P)

         Velma Holley [Y4a12h4], daughter of Joseph Perry Holley and Violet Anna Mitchell, was born 19 April 1905 in District 10 of Giles Co TN. She married her cousin Howard P Holley [Y4a3c2] in Giles Co on 25 December 1924. Her line is continued under his name. There were two Velma Holley women in Giles Co in 1920. One was born 10 October 1910 (per SS, census, gravestone, and marriage records), but Velma, daughter of Joseph, was a little older and was shown in the 1910 census as his daughter (age 3). Velma died at Pulaski on 1 September 1985. The SS record also shows her name as Velna. The Velma who married Nathan Holley [Y4a3n7] was the younger Velma, daughter of Lee Jackson Holley and Delia Gertrude Houser. (Z,15vw)

         Velma Eugenia Holley [Y4a1a4b], daughter of Willis Brown Holley and Maybelle Fletcher, was born 1 July 1902 in Fannin Co TX, and grew up in Cooke Co. She married John H Bagwell. He was born 20 May 1902 in TX, son of Thomas Bagwell and Nellie Myers, and died at Gainesville, Cooke Co on 25 March 1969. He was buried at Gainesville in Fairview Cemetery. Charles Bagwell was the informant for his death certificate. John was a carpenter and a furniture repairman. According to her death certificate, Velma died before John did. But according to a CA death record, "Velma Eugenia Grove" died in Stanislaus Co on 8 February 1982; she was born in TX, her father was a Mr Holley, and her mother was a Ms Fletcher. Velma’s name on the 1920 census in Cooke Co TX was "Velma E Holley" age 17. Therefore, either the death certificate for John Bagwell in Cooke Co was wrong, and he was not a widower when he died, or else John and Velma divorced, and she then married a Mr Grove and John married another woman who died before he did. She and John Bagwell had two sons-

1.      Charles Ray Bagwell, b 4 Jan 1923

2.      Clarence Weldon Bagwell, b 22 Jun 1926 (CAd, Z,251vbwf)

         Velma L Holley [Y4a2k4], daughter of Lee Jackson Holley and Delia Gertrude Houser, was born 10 October 1910 in Giles Co TN. She married Nath E Holley in Giles Co on 18 August 1929. Velma’s mother also signed for her permission for this marriage. Nath was born 29 December 1904, and died 2 March 1976 at Pulaski. Velma died 13 July 1994 at Pulaski. They were buried in Maplewood Cemetery at Pulaski. (Z,15vwmc)

She grew up there and married John Arthur Gaught about 1917, lived at Fort Worth in September 1918, and at Palestine in 1920. Viola died there on 23 May 1923 of influenza.

John was born at Camden, Ouachita Co AR on 1 October 1897, son of John H Gaught and Louisa Angeline Harris, and died 31 August 1958 at home at Orange, TX of heart failure. He was buried at Palestine in East Hill Cemetery. John was a building contractor. After Viola died, he married again by 1930, to Marie Stevens, and they lived at Houston. She was born 9 October 1898 at Palestine, daughter of Nora Doss, and died at Houston on 8 December 1970. She was buried in Holy Sepulcher Cemetery at Houston. Viola and John had two daughters-

         William Bryant Holley [Y4a1a10], son of John Thomas Holley and Martha Henrietta Keelin, was born 5 August 1895 at Bonham, Fannin Co TX. In June 1917 he lived in Jackson Co OK and claimed that he was single, but had to support a "mother, sister, and two brothers." Apparently his father had died by then. (M,188u,252v)

         William Clarence Holley [Y4a12d3] son of Henry A Holley and Alice Martha Helmick, was born 4 October 1893 in District 10, Giles Co TN. He was not living at home in 1910, and married Lurae Mae Worsham at Diana on 2 August 1914. She was born 22 July 1897 at Cornersville, Marshall Co, daughter of John Pleasant Worsham and Susie Ingram.

         William Eslick Holley [Y4a12h3b], son of Eslick Holley and Sarah Williams, was born in December 1940 in TN. He married Linda Ann Thompson in Giles Co on 2 February 1962. She was born in January 1941. In 1992 they lived at Pulaski. (15mP)

         William G Holley [Y4a2c], son of Edward W Holley and Dicas _____, was born about 1845 in Giles Co TN. He was not found after 1860. (15nq)

         William G Holley [Y4a1b], son of Thomas R Holley and Matilda Taylor, was born in October 1846 in District 10, Giles Co TN. On 15 October 1870 he married Sarah M Clift in Giles Co. She appears to have died between 1893 and 1897, for William married Mary Narcissa "Sis" Helmick on 2 December 1897 in Giles Co. Sarah was born in TN in 1850, and Narcissa in June 1852 in TN, daughter of Andrew Jackson Helmick and Mary Frances Burgess.

          There is a belief by some researchers that William G Holley was a son of Edward W Holley [Y4a2], brother of Thomas R Holley. The 1850 census shows that Thomas R and Edward W both had sons named William G Holley. Thomas’s son was age 5 (born 1845) and Edward’s son was age 6 then (born 1844). In 1860 Thomas’ son William was age 14 while Edward’s son William was age 16. Clearly Edward’s son was a year or two older than Thomas’ son. In 1870 both Williams lived in District 10. One "Wm G Holley" lived with his grandparents Mary T Young and John William Holley, working as a farm hand. Also in the grandparents’ home was Thomas R Holley (age 50), Matilda C Holley (age 15, Thomas’ daughter), Mary A Holley (age 17, Thomas’ daughter), Adaline Burns (age 25), and Ruth Holley (age 9 and was Black, a domestic servant). So the William G Holley living with his grandparents in 1870 was Thomas R’s son. Edward’s son William was not found, and the only other William Holley in the area who was born in the late 1840s was a son of Nicholas J Holley, and that William was William T Holley, born in 1850. There was no W G Holley found in 1870, other than the one living with his Holley grandparents. In 1880 in Giles Co there were just the same two William Holley men: William G, age 31, and now married to Sarah M, plus William T, age 30 and now married to Victoria. Edward’s son William was nowhere to be found.

         William had five children by 1910 with Sarah Clift-

1.      William Thomas Holley, b 3 Aug 1871

2.      Willis W Holley, b 1874

3.      Robert Bugg Holley, b 25 Sep 1878

4.      Joe Henry Arney Holley, b 25 Sep 1884

5.      Tippie R Holley, b 3 May 1891

See Henry A Holley [Y4a12d], who married Alice M Helmick. Mary N Helmick had a child, born about 1880, with her first husband G A Wilson; they married in Giles Co on 23 Dec 1878. (L,15nqrsumv)

         William Harrison Holley [Y4a3m], son of Nicholas J Holley and Margaret S Tucker, was born in District 10 on 8 July 1862. He married Idella "Della" Ophelia Harwell in Giles Co on 27 December 1884; the marriage record had their names as "W H Holley" and "Della Ophelia Harwell." They lived in District 15 in Lincoln Co in 1900 (census page 188B), and in 1910. Della was born 9 November 1867 in Giles Co, daughter of Thomas Paine Harwell and Martha R McKnight. Della was born in July 1873 per 1900 census; born 1868 per 1910 census, and born 1869 per 1920 census. In 1910 they were still living in Lincoln Co (census page 196) where William was a farmer. William died 4 October 1933 and Della on 18 October 1944; both are buried in Mount Zion Cemetery at Frankewing. They had six children by 1900 with three still alive, and ten eventually, with seven still living in 1910. The three children who died by 1900 were sons Roy, Marvin, and T J-

1.      Roy G Holley, b 26 Nov 1885

2.      Rufus Washington Holley, b 13 Dec 1888

3.      Marvin Holley, b 26 Jul 1890

4.      Grace Mae Holley, b 16 Jul 1894

5.      T J Holley, b 20 Feb 1896

6.      Sam Hugh Holley, b Sep 1898

7.      Talmadge Holley, b 16 Mar 1901

8.      Avey Allen Holley, b 1 Aug 1903

9.      Noble Richardson Holley, b 11 Sep 1905

10.    Della Patty Holley, b Jul 1908

The 1900 census showing William and Della was severely damaged, then stained with tape that turns dark with age. Hence, some of the information from that census page is questionable or incomplete. (58,L, 15m, 16uvw)

         William Monroe Holley [Y4a1a1d], son of Charles Ernest Holley and Martha Alice Keelin, was born 6 October 1900 in Fannin Co TX, and died there on 29 June 1901. (W,252v)

         William T Holley [Y4a2a4], son of John P Holley and Elizabeth Green McMillan, was born 10 October 1869 in Giles Co TN. He was not in the 1870 census, yet his death certificate and the 1900 census states that he was born in 1869. He married Fannie J Whitworth in Giles Co on 17 December 1892, and died at Sulphur Springs, Hopkins Co TX on 25 January 1946. His brother "G W Holley" was the informant for his death certificate, and named William’s parents as "John Holley" and "Green McMillon."

         William was "Will Holly" (spelled without the E) when he married Fannie J Whitworth in Giles Co; Mr C Epines helped provide the marriage bond. Will and Fannie lived in Giles Co, but had no children by 1900. Fannie was born in Maury Co TN in 1869, daughter of James R Whitworth and Ms R Jane _____.

         William and Fannie moved to Ellis Co TX by 1910, still without children. Fannie died in the 1910s, probably in Ellis Co, and William then married widow Mrs Minnie (Patrick) Greer, and they lived at Caddo Mills, Hunt Co TX into the 1930s. She was born in Warren Co TN on 1 August 1884, daughter of Harrison Patrick and Permelia J "Millie" West, and died at Caddo Mills on 13 December 1939. Minnie was buried at Waxahachie, Ellis Co. W T Holley was the informant for her death certificate. About 1943 William moved to Sulphur Springs, where he died. He was buried at Waxahachie. William’s brother George also died at Sulphur Springs. William’s first wife Fannie was born in Maury Co TN in March 1870, daughter of James R Whitworth and Rutha Jane Lambert. Fannie had no children; Minnie Patrick had none with William T Holley, but she did with her first husband. See Lee Jackson Holley [Y4a2k] and Lizzie Dorcas Holley [Y4a2a11].

Note: Living with William T and Fannie J in 1900 were her brother James L Whitworth, James’ son, and nephew Alonzo D Whitworth, son of James’ late brother Robert Whitworth. Fannie’s brother James L Whitworth was born in 1873, and had married Delia Prosser in Giles Co on 22 Jan 1894; she died by 1900, leaving James with one to three children, so James moved in with Fannie, who had no children.

         In Independence Co AR in 1860 there were James R Whitworth, born 1832, and wife Manerva _____, born 1822. They and all but one of their children were born in TN. The children in AR in 1860, and again in Maury Co in 1870, are shown below with their names underlined. In Maury Co’s District 14 in 1870 were J R Whitworth (born 1832) and his wife R J Whitworth (born 1835), and their children. In Giles Co’s District 16 in 1880, were James R Whitworth (born 1827) and Rutha Jane Lambert (born 1834, married in Maury Co on 29 Sep 1865). These children, from the 1860 thru 1880 censuses, were: son John M, born 1854; William, born 1856; Sarah Ann, born 1858; M Caroline, born Aug 1859 in AR; Robert E Lee, born 1865; Alice G, born 1866; Mary F, born 1867; Fannie J, born 1869; Lilly D, born 1870; and James L, born 14 May 1873.

Lewis Co is the county just southwest of Maury Co, and a short distance northwest of Giles Co. Lewis Co was a settling place for Martha Jane Holley [Y4a6b] in the 1890s.

         Of the children of James R Whitworth, Robert E Lee married A M Head in Maury Co on 20 Dec 1883 and they had a son Alonzo Whitworth who married Lizzie Dorcas Holley [Y4a2a11] in 1903. James L married Delia Prosser in Giles Co on 22 Jan 1884 and had son William Thomas, born 21 Oct 1895, and he also may have had two other children named Henrietta Whitworth, born in 1887, and Bourbon W Whitworth, born 12 May 1888, who lived with Lee Jackson Holley [Y4a2k] and his wife Delia Gertrude Houser in 1900. Fannie J married William T Holley [Y4a2a4]. Lilly D married in Giles Co on 25 Sep 1896 to John A Howell and lived in District 16 of Giles Co in 1900; William T Holley provided their marriage bond. And Sarah Ann married James H Lentz in Maury Co on 9 Dec 1875.

         Bourbon W Whitworth married Joanne Williams in Giles Co on 1 Sep 1907, and died 7 Nov 1967. He was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery next to his wife. James L Whitworth, born 14 May 1873, died 16 Jan 1910 and was buried in New Zion Cemetery, close to the graves of two children of Lizzie Dorcas Holley [Y4a2a11] (15rsmu, 438m, 10sm,54v, 158wfd, 347mu, 219d)

         William Thomas Holley [Y4a6f] son of Nathaniel Y Holley and Mary Ann Taylor, was born 20 December 1865 in District 10 of Giles Co TN. He married Carrie E Gilbert in Giles Co on 11 May 1888; C G Holley helped provide the marriage bond. In 1900 William and Carrie lived at Garland, Dallas Co TX. William’s brother James A Holley lived with them in 1900. James was born in April 1863 in TN. Carrie was born in February 1869 in TN, daughter of William W Gilbert (1845 TN) of Lincoln Co and Martha J Nicholas (1850 TN, married in Lincoln Co on 1 Sep 1867) who died just before 1880 in Lincoln Co? Carrie died in 1920 and was buried in Mills Cemetery at Garland, Dallas Co. William was still in Dallas Coin 1930, a widower, living with his son’s family. William died in Dallas Co on 14 February 1937 from pneumonia and the flu, and was buried next to Carrie. Roy Holley of Rowlett, Dallas Co was the informant for his death certificate. They had three children-

1.      child Holley, b & d between 1889 and 1900. (56u)

2.      child Holley, b & d between 1889 and 1900. (56u)

3.      William Roy Holley, b 20 Feb 1899

Mills Cemetery at Garland, Dallas Co has 11 graves with Holley names; none of them show birth and death dates between 1889 and 1900. (15rsm, 16ms,56ufdc)

         William Thomas Holley [Y4a1b1], son of William G Holley and Sarah M Clift, was born 3 August 1871 in District 10, Giles Co TN. He married Erma Ona Dyer in Giles Co on 21 August 1891, and was a farmer. Erma was born in April 1874 in TN. In 1900 they lived in District 10 in Giles Co, but by about 1906 they were in Navarro Co TX. William died at Roane, Navarro Co on 21 November 1954, and was buried in Post Oak Cemetery in Navarro Co. M G Holley (son Marvin) was the informant for William’s death certificate. Erma had died in the 1920s, yet he was the informant for the death certificate of "Mrs W T Holley" at Corsicana, Navarro Co when she died there on 31 January 1943. She was buried in Post Oak Cemetery. Mrs W T Holley was born 10 September 1872, daughter of a Mr Jerome and a Ms Bennett (both from TN). Apparently William had married again; his second wife was about age 57 when they married. William was in the 17 April 1930 census in Navarro Co, living next to his son Ulva A, and with son Roy in his home. He had a wife then, Mattie E, age of 57 (born 1872), which agrees with the birth date for the above Mrs W T Holley. William, in Navarro Co in 1930, was age 58 (born 1871), so this was the same William. Son Ulva was next door, age 37 (born 1892), but son Roy living with William was age 25 and single. William T’s death certificate said that his mother was a Ms Gilbert. William had seven children with Erma, four by 1900 with all still alive then, and seven by 1910 with six still alive; all were born in Giles Co TN-

There was another Holley family already living at Corsicana, Navarro Co in 1900, before William T and Erma moved there. This other family was from McNairy Co TN. The father was John Holley, born in TN in 1847, and his wife (dead by 1900) was Nancy Wilson. Also, although William T’s son Marvin was wrong about the maiden name of his grandmother being a Ms Gilbert. there was another William T Holley [Y4a6f], born in 1865 (son of son of Nathaniel Y Holley and Mary Ann Taylor), who had married Carrie E Gilbert in 1888. (56f,15smu, 235uvwfd)

Willie had first married Maggie Ruth Newton in Giles Co on 25 March 1917, and they divorced by the end of 1919. In 1920 she lived with her parents in District 11, next door to Will's parents.

His birth date was always the same per census records, WW1 draft record, and his death certificate (see brother Tommy A Holley).

Willis’ and Maybelle’s next door neighbor in 1900 was Willis’ brother John (family #290), so this would be a likely location where May and Willis married. They lived in Cooke Co in 1910, next door to her parents; May’s parents had moved to Cooke Co at the same time, after 1904. Willis was a farmer into the 1920s.
