Charles Holt

Person

Born 30 March 1762, died 19 September 1847 - a confirmed, accepted federal Revolutionary War pensioner per the 1840 pension census, and the likely root of the large Holt family also found at Hays Cemetery and Union Grove Cemetery.

Appears in: Nectar Cemetery, Hays Cemetery, and Union Grove Cemetery.

Notable descendants:

  • William Charles Holt (1785-1856), James Simpson Holt (1793-1879), Catherine “Caty” Holt Taylor (1796-1877), Kindrell Lawson Holt (1806-1894) - his documented children, confirmed via Find a Grave.
  • Grandchildren via William Charles Holt: Mary “Pollie” Holt Armstrong (1810-1905); George Washington Holt (1814-1880); Willis D Holt (1815-1884)
  • Grandchildren via James Simpson Holt: Martha Holt Bellah (1818-1900); Nathaniel Allen “Asey” Holt (1820-1860); Sarah Louisa Holt Hudson (1823-1892); Charles Kendrell Holt (1826-1897); William Carroll Holt (1828-1916); Nancy Holt Bowen (1830-1907); Artalissa Betsy Holt Sexton (1833-1864); Sultana Holt Shirley (1838-1905); James Williamson Holt (1841-1863); Andrew Jackson Holt (1842-1882); Te Holt (1861-1861); Zebadee Holt (1861-1922); George Washington Holt (1864-1951); Mary T.

  • Grandchildren via Catherine “Caty” Holt Taylor: James Taylor (1817-1889); Mahala Taylor Partain (1824-1905); Rev Thorney Berry “Thornberry” Taylor (1831-1890); Martha Taylor Blythe (1835-1917)
  • Grandchildren via Kindrell Lawson Holt: Kindrell Clem Holt (1849-1914); Prudence Midora Holt Thomas (1851-1910)
  • His wife was Martha Rackley Holt (1765-1854), and his own daughter-in-law line ties into the Armstrong family through Mary “Pollie” Holt Armstrong (1810-1905).
  • Not yet connected: Charles William Holt and Charles Winfield “Bruz” Holt, previously listed on this entry as notable descendants, do not appear among the children or grandchildren documented on this memorial. They are later-generation Holts whose descent from this Charles Holt has not been established from the record - a real gap, not an assumed link.
  • Four generations documented, through his son Kindrell. The line runs Charles Holt (1762-1847) → Kindrell Lawson Holt (1806-1894) → Kindrell Clem Holt (1849-1914) → Thomas Jefferson Holt (1881-1959), centred on Center Hill Independent Presbyterian Cemetery, which holds sixteen Holt burials and had never been examined by this site.
  • Two marriages into families already tracked here: Kindrell Lawson Holt married Prudence Providence Rutherford Holt - the Rutherford surname behind Rutherford Family Cemetery - and Kindrell Clem Holt married Catherine Whaley Holt (1853-1926), of the Whaley family that descends from Elijah McAnally Sr. Later generations there include Joseph G. Thornton “Joe” Holt (1877-1948) and Joseph Glenn Holt (1908-1975).
