I am seeking information on a Henry Holland. His full name maybe William Henry Holland. He was born 2/23/1818 in NC and died 5/13/1855 in Choctaw Co. AL. He married a Nancy Horn born 1/27/1830. She was the daughter of Henry Horn and Mary Simms. Henry Horn lived in the part of Edgecombe Co. that was included in Wilson Co. Henry and Nancy Married in Sumter Co. AL 2/23/1847. Nancy's Uncle William Horn married Nancy Holland and after her death her sister, Mary Holland Sykes. Both of William Horn's marriages were in NC. William and his second wife moved to AL probably in the 1830's. I have no idea if Williams wives Nancy and Mary were related to Henry Holland but I would guess some relationship. Living with Henry Holland and Nancy was a Parma Holland who was 80 yrs. in 1850 and born in VA. Parma was supposely Henry Holland's "old maid aunt". Parma was born @ 1770 so she may have been his great aunt. Your assistance is appreciated.
