"DP" Holder also had another daughter named Virginia. She married Charles
Jackson. They had three sons, Charles Holder, William (Billie) who fell from
a bicycle and died at an early age, and Joseph Bray. Charlie Jackson is
living in Swansboro, NC and Joe Jackson is still living in Windsor, NC. I
just got though spending the week with Charlie at Spruills Pasture Gun Club.
We saw Joe every day. If You do not have the decendents of Virginia, you can
contact either Charlie or Joe and they can furnish the info.
