Hello,

I am looking for descendants of Marrion Leggett Holland. They belong to the
Holland, Counts, Ferguson and Lewis Families. All info I have mostly come
from tombstone marks in Olney, from "Our Kin" and also from a letter a
cousin received from Dr. L. C. Glenn in 1937. Probably there are many
mistakes.

Is anybody there who have a guess about them? Any other researcher related
to these families to correct or add info? Are there other known descendants?
