Notes |
- I found this record at Virginia Marriages to 1800, Ancestry.com:
Holland, Thomas & Selby, Elizabeth, 12 Jan 1799 Virginia Accomack County
Could this couple be the parents of Maria?
A Maria Frances Holland was born/christened in Baltimore, MD, in 1797, d/o John Holland and Charity Barney (ancestry.com). However, a Barney genealogy says this couple were John Holland Barney and his wife Charity Barney (maiden name Stiles). It appears to be well documented.
Also, in the 1820 Federal Census, there are two Holland families in Accomack County, VA:
John W. Holland: free white males 1<10, 1 16<26; free white females 1 10<16, 1 16<26, 1 45+; 2 male slaves & 1 female slave; 2 persons involved in agriculture
William Holland: free white males 1<10, 1 10>16, 1 45+; free white females 2<10, 1 10<16, 1 45+; 7 males slaves & 1 female slave; 8 persons involved in agriculture
Either of these two households could include our ancestor Maria Holland.
