Looking for anyone who might descend from this line of the Holt family. I
have made contact with a few people who descend from this line but would
like to find others who may be out there to exchange info.

Richard Holt

My Line

Jessie J. Holt, born June 30, 1826 in Greene County, Tennessee; died
December 12, 1902 in Parrotsville, Cocke County, Tennessee. Burial: Bell
Cemetery, Cocke County, Tennessee. He was the son of Jacob Holt (son of
Wyatt Holt) and Eve Crum (daughter of John Crum Sr.). He married Delilah
Taylor, March 21, 1847, in Greene County, Tennessee. She was born September
1823 or 1824, in either North Carolina or Tennessee (depending on the
census you look at), and died February 22, 1914 in Parrotsville, Cocke
County, Tennessee. Jesse and Deliliah moved from Greene County to
Parrotsville, Cocke County, Tennessee between the censuses of 1850 and 1860.
