Hi Brain,
I am a member of your group, #57059.
I thought I would give you the little amount of information I have on my ancestor's.
I am a descendant of Richard Nathaniel Holt born 14 Feb 1796 in Virginia, died 25 Aug 1862 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. He married Mahala Paschall, born 1797 in Georgia, on 30 Apr 1818 in Jasper County, Georgia. Mahala died 13 Mar 1878 in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Richard Nathaniel Holt's father was a Richard Holt. This is the story:
"Sometime around 1775, Richard Holt and two brothers came from London to America. Richard settled in VA; one brother settled in NC, and the other brother returned to England."
Researches on Holts immigrating at the 1775 time frame were:
John Holt to VA in 1774/1775
George Holt to America in 1774
Richard Holt to America 1774
John White Holt to VA 1776
So, this would appear to be another Richard or maybe the story is just not true. If you find another Richard appearing that doesn't seem to fit, perhaps it is Richard Nathaniel's Holt's father.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
Thanx, John
