Other Hollands of Maryland and South Carolina:

Charles Holland (B:2 Apr 1758 Netherlands?; D:1846) and
Jacob Holland (B:1761/2 MD; D:1 Oct 1852) were
revolutionary soldiers from SC who were probably Thomas
(1761)'s brothers. Jacob was also in the battle of Kettle Creek,
GA.

There was another Thomas Holland born in MD and who also
fought in Revolution from SC. This Thomas was born 12 Feb
1762 and died 3 Oct 1815. He m. Jane Adair and served with
the 2nd regiment on 12 Jan 1779. He lived in Laurens Co, SC.
and his father is reported to be Abraham Holland. Abraham
Holland b:1715 came from MD to Laurens District where he
died in 1800. He m. Aseneth Spires. The unusual name of
Asenath has also been attributed to one of Thomas Holland and
Prudence Leggett's children. Abraham had a brother named
William and Abraham was the s/o Capell Holland and Katherine
Eldridge. Capell is the s/o Anthony Holland (see below).

>From "The Holland Family" (author unknown), Anthony Holland
was transported into the Province of MD in 1650, He m. in 1682
Isabella Parsons, d/o Thomas and Isabella. He owned land in Ane
Arundel Co, MD. His children were John, Benjamin, Thomas,
Richard, Eliza, Jacob, Capell, Susannah, Abraham and Anthony Jr.
(Anthony Jr. was named in his will but not the referenced book.) I
have seen Anthony and Benjamin listed as the father of Thomas
(1761). This note is included only because of the name similarities
(Thomas, Anthony, Abraham, Benjamin, Jacob).
