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 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, 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, born about 1723, who moved from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia to North Carolina about 1750 and died in 1798 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.

BURTON
The Burton family was associated with two of the three "very tightly related Holemans":
* William B Holeman, son of the Daniel Holeman who was born in North Carolina, had children in Tennessee and homesteaded in Douglas County, Missouri, was born
in 1831 in Roane County, Tennessee. He
named one of his sons Burton A Holeman (born 1859 in Ozark County, Missouri).
[Note: The 1850 census for Subdivision 22, Meigs, Tennessee shows a
Burton Halman, born about 1812 in North Carolina.]
* The descendants of two Burton men (John of Longfield and Thomas of Cobbs) from Henrico County, Virginia were in Pulaski, Madison, and Garrard counties in Kentucky about the same time that the
James Holeman (who married Martha Ramsey) was born in Madison
County, Kentucky.
1) John Burton of Longfield (1632-1689) who married Rachel Hutchins.
Their descendants (Robert Burton and John Pleasant Burton) were in the Madison County,
Kentucky area.
** Robert Burton (born 1736 in Henrico County, Virginia; died 1807 in Madison Co.,
Kentucky) had sons who also lived in the Madison County area: Allen, b. 1760; Abraham, b.1766; Isaac, b. 1767; Sherod, b. 1772; and Julius, b. 1779.
** John Pleasant Burton (born July 3, 1758 in Henrico County, Virginia and died July 4, 1836 in Lawrence County, Indiana) married
Susanna Stampler in 1779 in Ashe County, North Carolina. John Pleasant Burton (1758- 1836) had a son
Allen Burton, born 1786 in Virginia, who married Nancy McMullin in
1812 in Garrard Co., Ky, married Betsy Williamson in 1817 in Madison County, Ky, and died 1867 in Washington County,
Kentucky
Also, Jesse Burton (1760-1825), great, great grandson of the John Burton (1632-1689) who married Rachel Hutchins, was on the 1800 tax list for Garrard County, Kentucky.
2) Thomas Burton of Cobbs (1634-1686) who married Susannah Hatcher
** James Paign Burton, born 1736 in Goochland County, VA; died 1814 in Pulaski County, Ky. James Paign Burton, born 1736, and his sons are in the 1810 Census for Pulaski Co., Ky. I have found no Holmans in Pulaski Co census for 1810. However, a
Josept Holman and a James Holman were on the Pulaski Co.,
Kentucky tax list for 1800.

Collins' History of Kentucky states that for several years Samuel Hughes Woodson,
Sr., and Henry Clay alternated in the office of grand master of the Masonic Lodge of Kentucky, Mr. Woodson holding the office in 1819 and 1821, while the great commoner was grand master in 1820 and 1822. The senior
Samuel H. Woodson from 1820 to 1824 was a member of Congress, representing the Ashland, the home district of Henry Clay.
Samuel H. Woodson, Jr., who was born in Jessamine County, Kentucky, in 1814, and educated in Centre College at Danville, after coming to Missouri became a prominent factor in the law and public life of the state. He was elected a member of the constitutional convention of 1845, was a member of the Missouri
Legislature in 1850, was a member of Congress from 1856 to 1861, and died in 1881 while serving as judge of the Circuit Court of Jackson County. He was a democrat, and was attached to no particular church.
William Hamilton Woodson was born at Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, January 6, 1840, and was educated at the same school attended by his father, Centre College, in Danville. Since 1866 he has been in the active practice of the law at Liberty. During the war he served in the Confederate army, reaching
the rank of colonel at the age of twenty-one. and was on the staff of General James S. Rains and General John B. Clark, Sr. He was five times elected prosecuting attorney of Clay County, and in the last two elections received the largest number of votes and the largest majority given to any candidates on the local
ticket. He was democratic nominee for the State Senate and came within a few votes of getting the democratic nomination for Congress. He has also served as city attorney of Liberty, and for two terms was judge of probate. Since 1867 Judge Woodson has been a member of the Masonic fraternity, and is a charter
member of the Knights of Pythias, which recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the order's founding.

SNEAD/SNEED
I have found two connections between the Holmans and the Sneads:
* Sarah Holeman (1740-1777), daughter of Henry Holeman (1685-1740) and
Mourning Bowles (1685-1752), married Archibald Snead (1740-1781), son of
John Snead (Bef 1715-1782) and Susanna Poindexter.
* Charles Holeman (1762-1816) and Richard Holeman (c1759-c1839) of Person County, North Carolina (sons of
Richard Holeman and Jane Carlise) interacted with the family of
Samuel Snead (about 1723-about 1806) and his wife Jane Dudley.
***
Holmans and Sneads in Henrico County, Virginia
Research on the Sneed/Snead family by Richard B. Baldauf and others indicated that
John Snead, born before 1715, and Benjamin Snead, born in 1721, were sons of
William Snead of Henrico County, Virginia (b.1690) and grandsons of John Snead of New Kent County, Virginia.
**
John Snead (born before 1715), son of William Snead of Henrico County, Virginia (b.1690)
John Snead (born before 1715 in New Kent County and died 1782 in Hanover County, Virginia) and his wife,
Susanna Poindexter, had two sons: John Snead (1735-1812) and Archibald Snead (1740-1781)
---
John Snead (1735-1812), son of John Snead (born before 1715 in New Kent County)
John Snead (1735-1812) of Hanover County, Virginia around 1760 married second
Jane Winn. Apparently the children/grandchildren of the first wife sued the widow,
Jane Winn, and her children regarding the estate of the late John Snead.
October 26, 1812, Virginia Argus: In Chancery - In Hanover County Court, July 24th, 1812:
RICHARD SNEAD, JOHN SNEAD, RICHARD GLAZEBROOK & KITTURA his wife, late KITTURA SNEAD, CHARLES ANDERSON and ELIZABETH his wife, late ELIZABETH SNEAD, WILLIAM HARRIS and KEZIAH his wife, late KEZIAH SNEAD, and
NATHANIEL HOLMAN and ALICE his wife, late ALICE SNEAD, which Richard and John Snead, and the said female complaints, are children and distributes of the estate of the late JOHN SNEAD, deceased, plaintiffs.
Against: ROBERT SNEAD, adm’r of John Snead, dec’d, BILLEY SNEAD, PARTRICK SNEAD, JANE HARRIS, late JANE SNEAD, admix of her late husband DAVID HARRS, THOMAS PRIDDY and MARY his wife, late MARY SNEAD, WILLIAM E. HARRIS and ANNE his wife, late ANNE

SNEAD, deceased, defendants.
The Nathaniel Holman (1761-1813) who married Alice Snead (1761-1791), daughter of John Snead (1735-1812) and Jane Winn (1742-1812), is the son of
Nathaniel Holeman (1735-1804) and Ann Winn (1734-1808). Nathaniel Holeman (1735-1804) is the son of
Henry Holeman (1685-1740) and Mourning Bowles (1685-1752).
---
Archibald Snead (1740-1781), son of John Snead (born before 1715 in New Kent County)
Archibald Snead (1740-1781) in 1756 in Hanover County, Virginia married first
Sarah Holeman (1740-1777) daughter of Henry Holeman (1685-1740) and
Mourning Bowles (1685-1752). [Her uncle, Benjamin Bowles, was the guardian of Sarah Holman when she eloped with Archibald Sneed in 1756.]
Archibald Snead (1740-1781) and Sarah Holeman (1740-1777) named one of their sons "Holman".
**
Benjamin Sneed (born in 1721), son of William Snead of Henrico County, Virginia (b.1690)
Benjamin Sneed born in 1721 in Albemarle County, Virginia; died 1819 near Danville,
Kentucky. He married
Mary Ann Perry, granddaughter of John Sorrell, about 1750. Benjamin Snead was a schoolmaster on Buck Island, where he was a tutor of the Jefferson and Randolph children, (and according to his obituary, the
first tutor of President Thomas Jefferson.) [Boyle County, Kentucky was created in 1842 from Mercer and Lincoln Counties. County seat is Danville.]
[Note: In 1737 in Goochland County, Virginia, George Payne, James Holman, and
Henry Holman witnessed a deed by John Sorrell. John Sorrell was the grandfather of the Mary Ann Perry who married Benjamin Snead (b 1721).]
Children of Benjamin and Mary Ann (Perry) Sneed:
* John Mills Sneed born Feb. 2, 1755; died Dec. 21, 1855; married Nov. 10, 1784,
Sarah Johnson, daughter of James & Mildred (Mims) Johnson of Goochland Co., Virginia.
He was private secretary to Thomas Jefferson, a volunteer in the expedition against the Cherokee Indians, a soldier in the Rev. War, a friend of
Daniel Boone.
He relocated to Danville, Kentucky (in the part of Lincoln County that became Boyle County) in 1805.
He named one of his sons John Holman Sneed (born May 4, 1792; died June 4, 1876)
* Peggy Sneed married Richard Johnson.
* Susannah Sneed married George Farris.
[Note: Benjamin Snead (born 1721) and his son-in-law, George M Farris (1769-1857), were involved in litigation with David Higginbotham in Albemarle County, Virginia.]
[Question: Is this George Farris related to the George Farris (born 1776 in Laurel County, Kentucky) who married Martha McNeil (grand daughter of Neal McNeil) in Knox County in 1803?]
* Frances Sneed married David Garth (born about1751 Louisa Co., VA; died 1823 Henry Co. KY; soldier in Rev. War; son of John Garth)

Notes from Person County Heritage Book
At the same time that North Carolina Indians were being forced to relocate to Oklahoma, Charles Holeman and Richard Holeman (sons of
Richard Holeman & Rebecca Margaret Daniel) walked to western Tennessee to hunt.
[The forced relocation of the Cherokee Nation from their lands (in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee) occurred between 1836 and 1839.] I have found no indication that these nephews relocated to Wilson County, Tennessee.

HISTORICAL ROADS OF THE WHITE RIVER VALLEY
THE DUBUQUE - OSAGE ROAD
By Elmo Ingenthron
The Dubque-Osage road is one of the oldest roads in the upper White River region. It was opened for travel about 1830 by William Sneed, his son Charles and a neighbor, John Boyd. The Sneeds came from Kentucky and
settled on White River near the mouth of Bear Creek prior to the above date. While living on White River they located a claim of several thousand acres of good land on Osage River located in what is now Carroll County, Arkansas. With the aid of their slaves they had cleared several acres of land on the new claim and had grown a crop of corn before removing from White River to their new claim on the 0sage in Arkansas. The Sneeds and Boyds with the aid of their slaves opened the Dubuque-Osage road. This road facilitated moving to their new claim and gave them access to the Dubuque boat landing for marketing products and obtaining supplies. John Boyd, one of the teamsters, is commonly given the honor of having driven the first team over this road into Carroll County, Arkansas.
