John Thomas (Tom) Holland

  General Notes:

The children named "Daughter", Wilbur", "Lelia", "Penny", and "India" came from the written notes of Emily C. Daughtrey. The other names are documented in the census 1860, 1870 and 1880 records for Nansemond County. The 1860 census records a Charles at 1 year old. The 1870 Census does not list Charles but does list Elizabeth (8), Eva L. (7), Joseph B. (5), Leas (4), Nancy M. (3), and Sarah M. (1). The 1880 Census records Mary P. [this is probably Elizabeth] (18), Wilbur (16) [note Eva in 1870 census .. could Eva and Wilbur be one in the same or perhaps twins and Eva died?], Baker (15), Lelia L. (12), Sallie M. (10), Penny (9), Thomas Isaac (7), Jason (6), and Indianna (2). Joseph B. is probably Baker, Leas is Lelia, and Sallie is Sarah. I can not explain the others. Emily indicated children Wilbur, Lelia, Penny, India, and one duaghter whose name she could not recall. Emily remembered that "daughter" child married a man by the surname of Griffin.

Over these census years this family is also in the same area of the county near the home of their parents James and/or Matilda Holland as well as little brother, Jason Holland.
