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. (At one time part of Garrard County was the western part of Madison County.)
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.

***
It is reasonable to assume that were can find the parents of
James Holman (born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky) in or around Madison County. The Holeman/Holman Newsletter shows just one Holman family in Madison County -
Joseph Holeman, a son of Thomas Holeman of Wilkes County, North Carolina
(died 1798). However, the results of Holman
DNA Studies indicate that James Holman
is related to, but did not descended from, Thomas Holeman of Wilkes County, North Carolina.
---
My assumptions are:
* Joseph Holman is the son of Thomas
Holman, died 1798.
* Joseph Holman and his first wife, Elizabeth Wilson, had the following children:
Joseph Holman, Jr., born about 1775 in NC (married Rebecca Barnes);
William C. Holman, born Jan 7, 1778 in NC (married Eleanor Barnes);
John Holman, born about 1781 (married Nancy Martin); and Elizabeth
Holman, born 1784 (married Joshua Moran).
* Joseph Holman and his second wife, Catherine
Livingston, had no children. However, Catherine Livingston and her first husband,
Thomas Henderson Wilson, had the following children: William Wilson, born about 1760;
Hannah Wilson (married Alexander Hosich); Sarah Wilson, born about 1774 (married
James Holeman); and Mary "Polly" Wilson, born about 1772 (married
Edward Hockersmith).
*
James Holman, born about 1770 in Rowan Co., NC (married Sarah Wilson,
daughter of Catherine Livingston and her first husband, Thomas
Henderson Wilson) on Feb 09, 1790 in Madison County, Kentucky.
James Holman may or may not be the son of Joseph Holman and his first
wife, Elizabeth Wilson.
* Daniel Holeman of Madison County married a Rebecca Elkins
on Jun 14, 1809 in Madison County. He
may or may not be the son of Joseph Holman and his first
wife, Elizabeth Wilson. Some
Holman family researchers believe this is the same Daniel Holman who
married Rebecca Johnson by making the argument that Rebecca Johnson may
have been the widow of a Mr. Elkins when she married Daniel Holman. I do not
believe that is the case. I think there were two men named Daniel Holeman
in Madison County: one married Rebecca Elkins, and one married Rebecca Johnson.
In the 1820 Kentucky census for Holman, there were three men named Daniel. Each one had a male under the age of ten. (In 1820, the James Holman who married Martha Ramsey would have been six years old.)
* Daniel Holeman
Madison County, Kentucky (He married a Rebecca Elkins.)
* Danl Hollman Little York Hardin
County, Kentucky (He married Rebecca Johnson.)
* Daniel Holman Montgomery County, Kentucky
(Son of Reuben Holeman, born c1759 in Rowan Co., NC, and
Mary Cook)

Madison County Holemans and slaves
[See wives of Joseph Holman, son of Thomas Holman, died 1798]
Madison County Deed Book N pages 196-197
Bill of Sale August 31, 1818
Joseph Holeman of Madison County
Has possession, by right of his wife, Negro woman named Phyllis and her children: Jerry, Anderson, and Merrill.
Has delivered Nice, a daughter of Phyllis, to Alexander Hosick and his wife Hannah.
Has sold George, a son of Phyllis, to William Holeman.
Phyllis and her “increase” given to Catherine Livingston, wife of Joseph Holeman by last will and testament of
William Livingston, deceased in Virginia.
Catherine Livingston was married previously and had children William Wilson, Hannah
Wilson (who is now married to Alexander
Hosick) and Sarah Wilson (who is now married to James Holeman).
To eliminate any doubt about ownership of slaves following death of Joseph Holeman and his wife Catherine, he transfers his rights to William Wilson, James Holeman and wife Sarah, and Alexander Hosick and wife Hannah.
However Bill of Sale will not take effect until and unless William Wilson, James Holeman, and Alexander Hosick relinquish any claims to George, who Joseph Holman sold to William Holman.
Witnesses: James Dejarnett and Allen Cotes
Joseph and Catherine Holeman made their mark.
Question: Was James Holman a son of Joseph
Holman, or did he just marry into the family?

Separate Baptists (known as Unity) and became its pastor.

Elizabeth Holman, born about 1784 and married Joshua Moran (born 1787 in Virginia) on Sept 1818 in Madison County, Kentucky.
Joshua and Elizabeth (Holeman) Moran appear to be living with his father, Elijah Moran in the 1810 census for Madison County, Kentucky (eight persons, no slaves).
Joshua Moran is listed in the Madison County, Kentucky census for 1820 (eight persons, no slaves); for 1830 (ten persons, no slaves); for 1840 (eight persons, no slaves); and for 1850 (Joshua Morris, 63,Va, farmer; Elizabeth Morris, 63, Madison Co.,
Ky; Sophia Morris, 21, Madison Co., Ky; and Mary Morris, 17, Madison Co., Ky). Joshua Moran died June 1860, age 73, in Madison County, Ky. His widow Elizabeth (Holeman) Moran is listed in the 1860 census for Madison County, Ky with her
daughter and her daughter's husband (Mary A Dawes, 27, Madison Co., Ky; and James Dawes, 29, Madison Co., Ky, wagon maker).
Sophia Moran (1822-1874), the daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Holeman) Moran about 1860 in Missouri married
Joseph Carson, Jr., the son of Joseph Carson (1777-1815) and Mary A Evans (1776-1864).
"...Uncle Joseph Carson, the deceased was born Dec. 12 1812 in Rockcastle county, Ky., grew up to manhood in that state and about the year 1838 was married to
Margaret Montgomery; moved to Mo. shortly after and settled on a farm in Andrew county.
Seven children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. His wife also was called away in the year 1853. October 18, 1860 he was united in marriage to
Mrs. Sophia Mitchel whose maiden name was Moran. Of this union were born 5
children. His wife preceded him to the better world April 9, 1883.
Mr. Carson remained on one farm in Andrew county for over 40 years, from which he removed to this place in Nov. 1891, where he remained till the time of his death Dec 22, 1893.
The funeral took place from the Christian church in Savannah, Dec 24th. Services being conducted by Rev. Dew, after which the remains were laid to rest in the
Savannah cemetery.
He leaves eight children. D.M. Carson of Boise City, Idaho, Joseph Carson and Mrs. Samuel Stewart of Andrew co., Mrs. L. Carter, Mrs. John Bedford, C.B., James and Miss Kate all of this place.
Uncle Joe was a typical pioneer, tender hearted, kind, a loving and indulgent father. He lived an exemplary life, beloved and respected by all who knew him. He was converted at the age of twenty and identified himself with the
Christian church, and lived a devoted Christian life. He endured his suffering with fortitude and patience of a true
Christian man and was ready and willing to go. On the evening of the 22nd the curtain of death closed around the
scene of his earthly existence and the expiring lamp of life went out without one rude blast to hasten its extinction; so he passed peacefully away at the ripe old age of 81 years..."
