Descendants of William Holland

Descendants of William Holland Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM 1 HOLLAND was born Bet. 1780-1790 1, and died Bef. 23 Jul 1842 2,3,4. He married ELIZABETH UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1795 in Georgia 5, and died Bet. 29 Feb 1848-07 Oct 1853 6. Notes for WILLIAM HOLLAND: Relationships in this family NOT PROVEN! ONLY GUESSING - based on deeds and census reports. In 1846, a William Holland appears on the Gadsden Tax List, paying tax on 1 male between 21 and 49. He may have turned 50 because in 1847 he was on the list but not taxed for any male between 21 and 49. He does not appear again after 1847 and he was not on the voter list of 1845. However, the Leon County voter list of 1845 at http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/fl/leon/xmisc/1845votr.txt does include a William Holland. This person cannot be the same as the one in Gadsden, as he was apparently dead by the 1845 Leon tax roll when his wife appeared instead of him. Even if he had moved to Gadsden, he would have been at least 50 by 1840 and too old to pay the male poll tax in 1846. He was probably dead by the time William, Jr. deeded Lot #4 Sect 23 T1N R2W to Elizabeth Holland on 23 July 1842 and certainly by the time she sold it on 6 Mar 1845. - - - - - - - - - - No Hollands listed on transcript of 1825 Florida Territorial census at http://www.rootsweb.com/~flleon/1825cens.htm. 1830 US Census, Leon County, Florida, pg 119, line #24: Holland, William 1m <5, 1m 10-15, 1m 40-50 2f <5, 2f 5-10, 2f 15-20 1f 30-40 10 total, no slaves 1839 Leon County Tax Roll: William Holland (also a William Holland, Jr on roll).

Notes for CAROLINE HOLLAND: Leon County Holland Marriage Records from Leon County online website http://www.clerk.leon.fl.us/ : BRYAN ELIJAH HOLLAND CAROLINE 5/4/1837 MINGELL HENRY BRYAN CAROLINE 1/23/1845 FELLMAN ALFRED HOLLAND OLIVIA 1/10/1844 (Indexed as Fellman, but I looked at the record and it is Fillmore. He is on Gadsden tax rolls as Fillmore.) No marriage record found for Mingel or Fillmore in Gadsden County. Indexed only by male. Scanned entire index to Book A, 1849-81. They both disappear after 1850. Earliest existing Leon County tax roll is 1829 and there are no more until 1839, then 1843 forward. 1839 Leon County Tax Roll: Elijah Bryan 1 male 21-49, 40 acres, 1 slave 1843 Leon County Tax Roll: E Bryan 1m 21-49, no land, no slave He does not appear again on a tax roll after 1843. 1840 US Census, Leon County, pg 71, line 29: Elijah Bryan 1m <5, 1m 20-30 1f 20-30 http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/fl/leon/xmisc/1845votr.txt : No Bryan(t)s listed among 1845 voters of Leon County. Gadsden County Tax Rolls: 1845: no Fillmore or Mingel 1846-1851: Alfred Filmore 1 male 21-49, no land. After 1851, he no longer appears in Gadsden. 1846-1847: Henry Mangel (looks almost like Mangee on lists). 1846: 1 male 21-49, no land. 1847: no male, no land - does that mean he died that year? Does not appear after 1847. 1846 is the same year that William Holland appeared in Gadsden County. Any connection? 1850 US Census, Gadsden County, Florida, pg 180a, #40: Fillmore, Alfred 38 stage driver NY Fillmore, Olivia 25 Ga (prob. Caroline s sister) Mingel, Caroline 35 Ga cannot R/W Bryan, Elijah 8 Fl Mingel, Harriet 11 Fl Difficult to determine exactly where in Gadsden Co. they were located. Surrounding entries seem to be in TWP 3 across northern county. This entry is between Gilchrists who had land in 3N 4W (north of Quincy) and Atwaters who were in 3N 6W (Chattahoochee). There was a BLM land patent granted to Caroline Holland 7/28/1838 for 40 acres (Lot 5) in S23 1-N 2- W on the county line between Gadsden and Leon (lists in both counties), along the Ochlochonee River. In 1843, William Holland, Jr bought Lot 4 (adjoining?) in that same section. 8/9/2005 Alabama Homing 3

Question: Who were William Holland Jr and Sr? Was one of them a brother to Caroline? - probably. Or to Griffin (William?) Holland of Leon Co.? - not likely. Was one of these Williams the one who was in Gadsden 1846-47? Not likely. v. OLIVIA HOLLAND 12, b. Bef. 12 Oct 1817 13 ; m. ALFRED FELLMAN, 10 Jan 1844, Leon County, Florida 14. Notes for OLIVIA HOLLAND: Not found as Fellman on 1850 census of Leon County. No Olivias listed in index at http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/fl/leon/1850/. Witnessed deed from Caroline in 1838. Generation No. 2 2. WILLIAM 2 HOLLAND, JR. (WILLIAM 1 ) was born Abt. 1815 in Georgia 15, and died 31 Aug 1859 16,17. He married SARAH JANE BARINEAU 02 Feb 1837 in Leon County, Florida 18. She was born Abt. 1815 in South Carolina 19. Notes for WILLIAM HOLLAND, JR.: William Holland married Sarah Jane Barineau in Leon County 2 Feb 1837, and they appear on the 1850 Leon Co. census, both age 35. He was also listed on the 1839 Leon County Tax Roll as William Holland, Jr. S J Holland is listed on the 1860 Population Schedule as age 43, b. SC, a female planter with 6 children, 5 entries from Peter L Barineau (Barnow), 39, a farmer b. SC. Sarah J Holland appears on the 1860 Agricultural Schedule, 2 entries from Peter Barineau (Berneau). Apparently she is now a widow. (LDS IGI says he died 31 Aug 1859.) She is still there in 1870, two entries from Conyers (52) and Jane (49) Barineau, also from SC. This William who married Sarah Jane Barineau does not seem likely to be the William who appears on Gadsden tax lists of 1846 and 1847 because he would have been assessed a tax as a male between 21 and 50 in both years, but the Gadsden William was not assessed such a tax in 1847 (implying he had reached age 50 and was exempt). He appears to be the William Holland, Jr who received a land patent in 1843 for Lot 4 in the same section where Caroline Holland received a patent for Lot 5 in 1838. Those patents list in both Leon and Gadsden counties, as the land is right along the county line along the Ochlocknee River. He is only about nine years younger than Griffin W Holland, whose middle name is reported to be William. Griffin bought 320 acres north of Lake Iamonia in Leon County between 1834 and 1838. G W Holland was a doctor and large landowner with many slaves. Both William Hollands signed their deeds with x s. They are unlikely to be from the same family. 1839 Leon County Tax Roll: William Holland and William Holland, Jr on roll. 1840: William, Jr not found on Leon census (only William the elder). 1850 Leon County continued; 8th Division PAGE NO: 59b HOLLAND WILLIAM m.
