General Notes: Husband - William Humphrey Holt


He located in Brighton township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, about 1833, as the tax receipts of 1834 show that he paid taxes on a farm previously purchased by him. This farm was later the property of S. R. Workman. Later, Mr. Holt sold that farm and bought one which Samuel Johnson later owned. Still later, he purchased a farm just west of the Samuel Johnson farm, and upon it he spent his closing years. Upon all his farms he made improvements, and the last one purchased by him continued to be owned by his heirs.
Mr. Holt was a very public-spirited man and served as supervisor of his township and as school director, and was elder and class leader of the M. E. church.
