James Holman (Holdman, Holeman)
Born: about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky
Died: about 1886 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln County, Kentucky
***
James Holman (Holdman, Holeman) was born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky. He lived in the area of Brodhead and Crab Orchard, Kentucky, which are on the border of three Kentucky counties: Lincoln, Garrard, and Rockcastle. On June 4, 1835 in Garrard County, Kentucky, James Holman was married to Martha Ramsey, the daughter of Alexander Ramsey, by Baptist minister Benjamin Polston.
The results of the DNA tests show that the descendant of James Holeman, b. 1814 is:
"very tightly related" to the descendant of the Daniel Holman who was born about 1787 in North Carolina, had children in Tennessee, and homesteaded in Douglas County, Missouri;
"very tightly related" to the descendant of the Kenneth Holeman who died in 1871 in Upperfreehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey who is thought to be a descendant of Robert Holeman, died 1709 in New Jersey;
"related" to a descendant of the Elias Holeman (1759 - 1827, Burlington County, New Jersey); and
"related" to the descendants of Thomas Holeman, who was born about 1723 in Kent County, Maryland; and who moved from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia to North Carolina about 1750, and died there in 1798.

Daniel Holeman of Livingston County, Kentucky
Livingston County, located in the southwest area of Kentucky along the Ohio River, was formed from Christian County, Kentucky in 1798
Livingston County, Kentucky was named after Robert Livingston (1746-1813) who was a U.S. statesman and a diplomat. As a minister to France from 1801 to 1804, he negotiated the Louisiana Purchase by the United States.
Christian County was formed from Logan
County, Kentucky in 1796 (named for Colonel William Christian, a native of Augusta County, Virginia, and a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He settled near Louisville, Kentucky in 1785, and was killed by Native Americans in southern Indiana in 1786)
Logan County, on the border with Tennessee, was created in 1792 from Lincoln County, Kentucky.
(Logan County, Kentucky and Robertson County, Tennessee share the border.)
Across the Ohio River are Poke and Hardin counties, Illinois (Slavery not
allowed.)
Pope County, Illinois was created in 1816 from Gallatin and Johnson Counties.
Johnson County, located in the southern portion of Illinois known locally as "Little Egypt", was created in 1812 from Randolph County, Illinois
Randolph County was created in 1795 from the Northwest Territory and St. Clair County.
As a result of the French and Indian War, France lost its North American holdings east of the Mississippi River. The British ruled the area until it was conquered by the American colonies during the American Revolution. Americans started arriving in Randolph County,
Illinois in the late 1770's, many of them Virginians who had been part of the American army. Within 20 years, Americans outnumbered the French, and the Mississippi River area of Randolph County and the surrounding area was called the American Bottom.
Hardin County was created in 1839 from Pope County, Illinois.
Hardin County was first settled on the river, and pioneers started coming after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
Large numbers of Kentuckians settled in frontier Hardin County, Illinois. Names of the county (Hardin) and the county seat (Elizabethtown) are reminiscent of
Hardin County, Kentucky - the previous residence of many pioneer settlers

The Biographical Review of Johnson, Massac, Pope and Hardin Counties Illinois Biographical Publishing Co., Chicago, 1893
[Livingston County]
JOSEPH T. HOSICK, of Elizabethtown, Ill., is one of the leading farmers of Hardin County, a son of William
Hosick, of Virginia, and a grandson of William Hosick, of Virginia, and a grandson of
Alexander Hosick, who was a native of Scotland, and came to America before the Revolutionary War, settling in Virginia.
William Hospick was born in Virginia, was brought up on the farm, and secured a good education for the times. He was at one time Surveyor for his county, and removed to Livingston County, Ky., in 1810, buying timber land and erecting a log cabin in the woods. He settled down to hard work, and cleared up and improved his farm. Even at that early day the question as to the right and policy of slavery was being agitated, and he, being opposed to the institution in any form, sold his farm and left the state, this being the only thing he could do, as those who favored the continuance of the system, whether or not they believed in its righteousness, seemed to know instinctively, that if the question were fully and fairly discussed, such discussion must necessarily result in its overthrow. Leaving Kentucky, he came to Illinois in 1816, entered Government land, built a log cabin with puncheon floor, and again began to clear up and improve his farm. He remained in that locality until the end of his days, dying in about 1840. He was married in 1797 to
Polly Turner, of Kentucky, by whom he had ten children, viz: Elizabeth, Alexander, Nancy, Polly, Nellie, Perlina, Joseph T., Johnson, Matilda and Sallie.
Joseph T. Hosick was born in Livingston County, Ky., June 9, 1812, and was brought up on the farm, and educated in the schools of the day, such as they were, learning but little therein. But being of strong and active intellectual powers, he obtained a good, practical education, and has made a fair success of his life. He came to Pope County in 1827, and settled in what is now Hardin County, buying timber land, erecting a log cabin and going to work in earnest to establish a home. He made a success of his efforts, and in after years a large, two-story brick residence took the place of the humble log cabin, and large fields in a high state of cultivation took the place of the timbered wilderness. He was married in the year 1832 to
Nancy Martin, of Livingston County, Ky., daughter of David Martin, of South Carolina, who was of Irish ancestry. To this marriage with Miss Martin there were born four children, all now deceased, and she died in 1840. He was married the second time, to
Elizabeth M. Telford, in 1842. She is a daughter of Robert Telford, a native of South Carolina. To this second marriage there were born five
children, viz: Edmond S., a farmer of Hardin County; Amanda, deceased; Polly Ann, wife of Leroy Clanahan, a minister at Metropolis; Samuel T., a farmer of Hardin County; and Alice A., deceased.
Mr. Hosick takes pride in the fact that he has made ten trips down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in flatboats, and has traveled a great deal on railroads without ever seeing an accident. He is also proud of the fact, that although there are a great many people of his name, yet none of them have ever been convicted of any crime. He has been fighting whisky for the past fifty-two years, and has voted with the Prohibition party for the last five years. It will thus be seen that it runs in the nature of the Hosick family to oppose the wrong, for as his father was a decidely anti-slavery man, so is he now a decidely anti-whisky man. He is also on the side of religion, having been an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for fifty years, and all in all, Mr. Hosick is one of the best and most useful citizens of Hardin County, and is so considered by all who know him.
Hosick Martin Turner Telford Clanahan
Note: William Hosick, was the brother of the Alexander Hosick who married Hannah Wilson. William Hosick: born about 1780; married Polly Turner, daughter of Joseph Turner, in Clark County, Kentucky. In 1796; died about 1840 in Hardin County, Illinois.

Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, Kniffin 2nd ed., 1885
Livingston Co.
ISAAC TRIMBLE was born in Livingston County, Ky., December 4, 1810. His ancestors were South Carolinians and of English descent. His father,
James Trimble, settled in what is now Crittenden County, in 1803, near the Sulphur Springs, where he engaged in farming. He was also a wagonmaker during the early years of his life among the pioneer settlements of Livingston County, where he died in about 1808 [sic].
Margaret (Gillespie) Trimble, subject's mother, was a daughter of William Gillespie of South Carolina. She died in Livingston County in 1855, at the age of about sixty years. Isaac is the youngest of a family of five children, and is the only one living. His life has been spent within the limits of his native county, where for seventy-four years he has been an honored and respected citizen. At the age of two years he was bereft of his father, and at seventeen commenced life for himself as a farmer. He purchased a part of the home farm, on which he lives, soon after arriving at manhood, and has never resided in any other locality. He commenced business without a cent in his pocket, but such was his energy, that by the time he was twenty-one years of age he had saved sufficient capital to enable him to make a fair start in the world. He now owns a beautiful tract of land in Carrsville Precinct, consisting of 400 acres, 200 of which are under a good state of cultivation. October 1, 1833, Mr. Trimble was married to
Jane Hosick, daughter of
Alexander and Hannah (Wilson) Hosick. The fruits of this marriage were nine children, named as follows: jaems A., Clarissa (deceased), Narcissa, Sarah C. (deceased), William J. (deceased), Hannah L., Uriah, Margaret and Benjamin F. Mrs. Trimble died in 1851. Six years later, on December 18th, Mr. Trimble's second marriage was solemnized with Miss
Mary Barnes, daughter of James and Tempy Barnes of Crittenden County. This union has been blessed with three children: Mary E., Luella (deceased), and Cordelia. Mr. Trimble has been a consistent and active member of the Methodist Church South, for a period of about forty years.

Kentucky, A History of the State
by: J. H. Battle, W. H. Perrin & G. C. Kniffin (Copyright 1885)
W. H. ADCOCK was born June 19, 1828, in Livingston County, and is a son of John C. and Margaret (Wilson) Adcock, natives of South and North Carolina respectively.
John C. Adcock, in an early day, immigrated to Tennessee, where he lived until the breaking out of the war in 1812, when he enlisted in the American army and served until the close, when he came to Livingston County, and settled not far from Salem, where he followed his occupations of hatter and shoemaker. He died in 1825, at an advanced age. Subject's maternal grandfather was
James Wilson, a native of Caswell County, N. C. He held the position of captain in Washington's army, and was an early pioneer of Livingston County, settling on the Ohio River, opposite Goleonda, Ill., where he died a number of years ago. Margaret (Wilson) Adcock, subject's mother, was born in North Carolina and died in Livingston County, Ky., about the same time as her husband. Four children were born to John C. and Margaret Adcock: Mary, James E., and an infant not named and W. H., who is the only one of the family now living. Our subject was deprived of his parents by death at the early age of eighteen months, after which he was taken by his uncle,
James Pringle, with whom he made his home until his twenty-seventy year. He commenced farming on his own responsibility about 1855 or 1856, purchasing his present place in Carrsville Precinct, which at that time was an unbroken piece of woodland; he soon succeeded in making a comfortable home, owning at the present time a good farm of ninety-six acres. Mr. Adcock was married, August 15, 1855, to Miss
Clarissa I. Trimble, daughter of
Isaac and Jane (Hosick) Trimble, of Livingston County. This union has been blessed with five children: James P., Isaac T., Izetta, Leona and Sophronia.
