      In History of Calloway County Pub 1884 I found James Holt Bio founder of Holt's Summit and on of the oldest and highly respected citizens of Calloway county, came here with his parents away back in 1820, and was then a youth fourteen years of age. He was the third of a family of ten children of Abner Holt and Elizabeth Brooks, of Halifax County, VA, who were married about the beginning of the pressent century. The other children were Susanna, TImothy, Robbert, John F., William P, Hiram, Abner, Elijah, and Elizabeth Calloway.... In 1806 the year James Holt, the subject of the present sketch was born, his parents removed from Halifax County VA to Tennessee where they lived until 1819 wehn they came to Howard County Mo. Thier intention however was to settle in Callaway Co but as there was little or no settlement here at that time, they stopped in Howard county until they could provide themseves accommodatins ( a house ect) in Calloway County. While the family remained in Howare, durning the winter of 1819-20 the menfolks were busy making a home and preparing fjro a corp in Callaway and the following spring the fmaily came on to their new home.... Mr. Holt, or Uncle Jimmy, as hi is now venerable called, was married in 1833 to Miss Lucy Reynolds, who came to Callaway County in a early day....


      William and James Reynolds were sons of John Reynolds of Halifax Co VA. William married Lucy E. Holt dau of Timothy Holt, Sr and settled in Callaway Co in 1828...

      Timothy Holt, of Halifax Co VA married Elizabeth Chambers and they had.... Hiram, son of Timothy Holt SR was married twice, his first wife being Jane Stanfield, and hsi second her sister Nancy. He settled in Callaway Co in 1826.,,,
