Possible Ancestors of James Holman, b. 1814:

Great Grand Parents: Thomas Holman, who died about 1798 in Wilkes County, North Carolina and his wife Mary.

Grand Parents: Joseph Holman, born about 1746 in Maryland and his first wife, Elizabeth Wilson, born about 1750 in Rowan Co, North Carolina, the daughter of James Wilson and Mary Jones. (Joseph’s second wife was Catherine Livingston, the widow of a Mr. Wilson.)

Parents: James Marion Holman, born about 1770 in Rowan Co, North Carolina and Sarah Wilson, born about 1774 in Madison Co., Kentucky. (Sarah Wilson’s mother, Catherine Livingston Wilson, after her first husband died, married Joseph Holman, the father of James Marion Holman.)

Reasons supporting the idea that this is the family of the James Holman, born 1814, are:
*Four of the five sons of Joseph Holman and Elizabeth Wilson (Joseph Holman, William C. Holman, John Holman, and Daniel Holman) each named one of their sons “James.” I believe that James Marion Holman also named one of his sons “James.” 
* James Holman, born 1814, is the right age and was in the right location to be a son of James Marion Holman and Sarah Wilson. Other Holman families suspected of being the parents of James Holman, born 1814, have been ruled out: 1) The DAR mistakenly approved an application based on the assumption that the parents of James, born 1814, were Edward Holman (born December 1760 in Kent County, Maryland and died April 6, 1842 in Callaway County, Missouri) and Abigail Williams. However, the documentation was limited to the fact that the will of Edward Holman mentions a son named James. The son mentioned in Edward’s will is the James Holman, born January 26, 1799, who married Mary E. Martin. 2) Some researchers believe that the James Holman, born 1814, is the son of Daniel Holman and Rebecca Johnson. However, this was James J. Holman, born about 1809, who married Mary A. Young.
* James Alexander Holman, first born son of James Holman, born 1814, could be named for his two grandfathers: James Marion Holman of Madison County, Kentucky and Alexander Ramsey of Garrard County, Kentucky.
* Daniel Holman, son of Joseph Holman and Elizabeth Wilson, and the James Holman, born 1814, used the same names for some of their children: James, Madison, Amanda, and Sarah.
