Calvin married Martha Barksdale Powell 12 Feb 1913, Caswell County, North Carolina. Martha (daughter of William Mastin 'Mack' Powell and Daisy W. Holt) was born 12 Jul 1898, Yanceyville, Caswell Co., North Carolina; died 7 Feb 1953, Caswell Co., North Carolina; was buried , Community Baptist Church Cemetery, Caswell Co., NC. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She was not the first wife of Lea Holt. Obviously, not all
the children of Lea Holt listed in the various census
records were by Martha; however, several of the younger
ones could have been. Also note that the mother of Calvin
Lee Holt is believed to be Sarah Barksdale Powell. For him
to have married a person named Martha Barksdale Powell
raises the possibility of errors being made in ascribing
names to his mother and wife. Caution is advised.
