It was Granville NC. Sorry 'bout that. Reference is to marriage of
Solomon Langston Sr. and Sarah Bennett in Granville NC, parents of Mary
Langston Holder - wife of Jesse. Can't find the reference of Mary's birth
in Granville - maybe circumstantial since her parents were married there
and were undoubtedly present at her birth <G>.

Marriage of William Holder to Mourning Duggar is also in Granville NC.
They had a son,
Chesley, whose unusual name has been used to connect some Holder families.
Mourning Duggar had a brother, Chesley Duggar, which may be where the name
originates. This too from a researcher with circumstantial evidence.
Maybe more can be found, connecting William with other Holders - and Jesse.

Any thoughts???
