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 (Stigall's Stand) 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 by FamilyTreeDNA show that these three Holmans are "very tightly related" with each other:

* James Holman (Holdman, Holeman) was born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky. He lived in the area of Brodhead (Stigall's Stand) 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.

* Daniel Holman who was born about 1787 in North Carolina, had children born in Tennessee, and in 1850 homesteaded in Douglas, Missouri.

* Kenneth Holman, who was born about 1783 in New Jersey, married Sarah "Sally" Jamison, and died in 1871 in Upperfreehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey, and who is thought to be a descendant of Robert Holman, died 1709 in New Jersey.

The three "very tightly related" Holman men are "related" to, but did not descend from:

* Thomas Holman, who lived in Shenandoah, Virginia, moved from Virginia to North Carolina in 1752, and died 10 Jan 1798 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.

* Elias Holman, born about 1759 and who died Nov 01, 1827 in Burlington County, New Jersey.
