General Notes: Husband - Thomas Holt, Esq.

---

He married and in 1815 moved to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and on the farm which became his permanent home, and on which he died, built a cabin among the trees with which his land was then covered. The cabin in time gave way for a better and more pretentious house, and the forests to cleared fields, fences, and out-buildings. He was a Democrat in politics, and for many years a justice of the peace. He died leaving a family of four sons and two daughters.

He was a native of England, located in Bradford township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, on coming to the New World, and purchased a tract of timber land which he cleared, following lumbering throughout the remainder of his life. [But see the notes about his father.]

With his first wife he had four children-two sons and two daughters.
By his second union he had two children.
