Hi Scott,

As you probably know, the white Hollands of Anderson Dist. were not wealthy and therefore did not own many slaves. If you send me what you have, I can likely help you work out your line.

I have a few tidbits for you:

Ophelia Wade, Lucius Families USA, vol. 3, p. 120, 124: appraisal/sale of slaves of Daniel F. Lucius, March/April 1847: Kesiah and (child) Ciller (32), sold to Wm. Holland, $650

[Descendants of Daniel Lucius's slave, Kesiah:
                            
       1        Kesiah slave       1797 -       
.........       2        Mary slave       1813 -       
.........       2        Kesiah slave       1815 -       
....................       3        Ciller slave              
.........       2        Maria slave       1817 -       
.........       2        Emery slave       1819 -       
.........       2        Nancy slave       1821 -       
.........       2        Matilda slave       1823 -       
.........       2        Manuel slave       1826 -       
.........       2        Malinda slave       1833 -]

Was forced to vote Democrat, 3 Nov. 1868, against his will, by Thomas Holland and Wm. Holland. They threatened his life, and said "if I went away without voting I should be bushwhacked, and that I should be turned out of the County and have no home. Henry Holland, a black man, was shot in the thigh before the election, and there was continual nighttime shooting.

Third Congressional District, Committee of Investigation, Reports and Resolutions [KKK Hearings], South Carolina,1869-70, p. 1327: Henry Kennedy, black, Anderson C. H., resided here 29 years.
