James Holman (Holeman, Holdman, Holdam), born about 1814 in Garrard County, Kentucky, is the earliest documented ancestor in our Holman family tree. He lived on the border of three Kentucky counties: Lincoln, Garrard, and Rockcastle. [His son, Thomas, in his marriage bond said that his mother and father were born in Garrard County.]

On June 4, 1835 in Garrard County, Kentucky, James Holman was married to Martha "Patsy" Ramsey, the daughter of Alexander Ramsey, by Baptist minister Benjamin Polston.

Notes:
The inheritance tax is a tax on a beneficiary’s right to receive property from a deceased person. The amount of the inheritance tax depends on the relationship of the beneficiary to the deceased person and the value of the property. Generally, the closer the relationship the greater the exemption and the smaller the tax rate.
If the estate was $232.52 and each heir received $29.06, there should be eight heirs. I have identified only seven heirs.
I did not find a tax stamp receipt for Thomas Ramsey and second wife Angeline Naylor (his first wife was Martha Jane Perkins, daughter of John Perkins and his first wife Telitha Lea).
There is a tax stamp receipt for William J(?) Ramsey. Who is this?
Why did the tax stamp receipt for James and Martha Holman say James Hollman and Daniel Hollman?
