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. (Garrard
County at one time 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. A receipt for “James Hollman and Daniel Hollman” is in the estate papers for Alexander Ramsey.
***
The results of the DNA tests by FamilyTreeDNA show that these three Holman men 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 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 in Tennessee, and homesteaded in Douglas County, Missouri.
* Kenneth Holeman who died in 1871 in Upperfreehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey and who married Sarah "Sally" Jamison, the daughter of Henry Jamison and his wife, Margaret. Kenneth Holman is thought to be a direct descendant of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey.
The three "very tightly related" Holman men fall into the Holman
Lineage II group at WorldFamilies.net, which is associated with Thomas Holeman born about in 1723 in Kent Co.,
Maryland. They deviate from the group with a mutation at DYS 449. Elias Holeman, born 1759 in New Jersey, also falls into this group. He
deviates from the group with a mutation at DYS 458.
Generally an exact copy of the yDNA is passed from father to son, but
occasionally, and at random, a slight difference may occur, called a mutation.
Where the mutation is matching a mutation from another result within the
Lineage, the match likely indicates a more recent shared common ancestor (or a
"branch" within the Lineage) as the two men probably both inherited
the mutation from a recent common ancestor.
Based on the yDNA findings (no mutation), I'm assuming that the three "very tightly related" Holmen men are "related" to, but did not descend from:
* Thomas Holeman, born about 1723 in Kent Co, Maryland, lived in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, moved from Virginia to North Carolina around 1750, and died in 1798 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.
* Elias Holeman, born about 1759 and who died Nov 01, 1827 in Burlington County, New Jersey. [Parents unknown, but he may be the son of Thomas Holeman (born 1748) and the grandson of Aaron Holeman (1714-1782) and Ann Story (1720-1813).]
***
Until the DNA results were received, this site assumed that the most likely parents of James Holman, born 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky were: James Holman, born about 1770 in Rowan Co, North Carolina, and Sarah Wilson, born about 1774 in Madison County, Kentucky. [Sarah Wilson’s mother, Catherine (Livingston) Wilson, after her first husband died, married Joseph Holman, the possible father of James Holman, born 1770.] James Holman, born 1770, is known to have been in Campbell County, Kentucky from 1807 through 1820.
James Holman, born 1814, is the right age and was in the right location to be a son of James Holman and Sarah Wilson. Other Holman families suspected of being the parents of James Holman, born 1814, have been ruled out:
1) The DAR mistakenly approved an application based on the assumption that the parents of James, born 1814, were Edward Holman (born December 1760 in Kent County, Maryland and died April 6, 1842 in Callaway County, Missouri) and Abigail Williams. However, the documentation was limited to the fact that the will of Edward Holman mentions a son named James. The son mentioned in Edward’s will is the James Holman, born January 26, 1799, who married Mary E. Martin.
2) Some researchers believe that the James Holman, born 1814, is the son of Daniel Holman and Rebecca Johnson of Hardin County, Kentucky. However, this was James J. Holman, born about 1809, who married Mary A. Young.
I now think that the Daniel Holman of Madison/Garrard County who married Rebecca Elkins is the most likely candidate to be the father of the James Holman who married Martha Ramsey. (This assumes that the Daniel Holman who married Rebecca Elkins is not a direct descendant of Thomas Holman, died 1798.)

Where should we look to find the common ancestor of three "very tightly related" Holman men. The obvious starting point is with the Holman Patriarchs. The line for the three "very tightly related" Holmans appears to start in New Jersey, and then some members moved south to Maryland, (including the Monocracy Valley) and then to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Some of the line moved to North Carolina (including the proposed State of Frankland), then to Kentucky and Tennessee, and then to Missouri and Arkansas. Others moved to southwest Pennsylvania, then down the Ohio Valley to Kentucky.
The two best known Holman Patriachs were from North Carolina:
Isaac Holman, died 1808. [See Woodford
County, Kentucky.]
Thomas Holman, died 1798. (See Thomas
Holman)

Question: Did Robert and Margaret (Jemson) Holman have another, yet unidentified, son?
If Kenneth Holman is a direct descendant of the Robert Holman who left a Will in 1709 in New Jersey, then the other two “very tightly related” Holmans must also be direct descendants. The question is how did one get to be born in Kentucky and the other in North Carolina? The father of the James Holman who was born about 1814 in Madison County, Kentucky, was probably born after 1745 and died after 1815. The father of the Daniel Holman who was born about 1787 in North Carolina, had children in Tennessee, and homesteaded in Douglas County, Missouri was probably born after 1725 and died after 1785. [Question: was he born in the part of North Carolina that became East Tennessee?]
***
Speculation on how the three “very tightly related” Holman men connect
The Holeman/Holman Newsletter edited by Roger and Mary Malcolm did a great job of identifying and documenting the descendants of the various Holman "Patriarchs". However, they did not speculate on how these Holman "Patriarchs" fit together. Other Holman family researchers have attempted to do so. [We need more Holman men with documented family histories to take the DNA tests.] Based on my research to date (along with very helpful assistance of other Holman family researchers), this is my thinking on the ancestors of the three “very tightly related” Holman men.
I believe the nearest common ancestor for the three "very tightly related" Holman men is Joseph Holeman (and his wife Thamson), probably through his son, Robert Holeman (1712-1790).
The Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey had four sons: Joseph Holman, b. 1685; Thomas Holman, b. 1686; Robert Holman, b. 1687; and Daniel Holman, b. 1689. His oldest son, Joseph Holman, b. 1685 in Middletown, Monmouth Co., New Jersey, inherited his property. Therefore, the children of Joseph Holman, b. 1685, and his wife Thamson would be expected to remain for a while in New Jersey. One of the three “very tightly related” Holman men is Kenneth Holeman, who died 1871 in New Jersey.
Two of the sons of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey, Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, and Daniel Holman born 1689 relocated to Kent County, Maryland (near his relative: Edward Holman and Edward's three sons: Henry, George, and Edward). Daniel Holman, b. 1689, relocated to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia in 1735/36. Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, had a son, Thomas Holeman, born 1723 in Kent Co., Maryland, who first relocated to the Shenandoah Valley, and then to Rowan County in what was to become Surry and later to be Wilkes County, North Carolina. Thomas Holman, born 1723, is related to the "very tightly related" Holman men, but does not have their yDNA mutation. [The idea that the North Carolina Holmans were in fact descendants of the New Jersey Holmans was first proposed to me by Holman family researcher, Randy Holman Schmidt.]
Aaron Holeman (A son of Joseph Holman, and grandson of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey), born about 1714 and died 1782, married Anne Story. Aaron and Ann had three sons: Joseph (1746-1781), Thomas (1748- ), and Aaron (1750-1812). Only Thomas (1748- ) had sons. One of the sons of Thomas Holman (1748- ) was named Elias. However, because there were two "Elias Holmans" in Burlington County New Jersey, I am not certain that this "Elias Holman" is the one that has a yDNA match (without their yDNA mutation) to the "very tightly related" Holman men.
Other candidates to be the nearest common ancestor for the three "very tightly related" Holmans are:
* Robert Holman, born Abt. 1687 in Middletown, Monmouth Co., New Jersey, the son of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey. I have no information on him.
* Daniel Holman, born Bef. 1690 in Middletown, Monmouth Co., New Jersey, the son of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey. Daniel Holman and his first wife had a son named Jacob Holman (died Abt. 1784). Holman family researcher, Georgia Kinney Bopp, reports that this line "daughtered out". Isaac Holman (died 1808) also could be Daniel Holman's son by this first marriage. I have not found any yDNA test results from a documented descendant of Isaac Holman (died 1808). [Note: This is strange because many descendants of Isaac Holman (died 1808) are listed in the Holeman/Holman Newsletter and they are obviously interested in genealogy.]
If the assumption that the nearest common ancestor for the
three "very tightly related" Holman men is Joseph Holeman (and his
wife Thamson), the eldest son of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will
in Monmouth, New Jersey, then the six sons of Joseph Holeman (and his wife
Thamson) are candidates to be the ancestors of the "very tightly related" Holmans:
1. Joseph Holeman, born about 1708 and died about 1741, married Grace
Wooley. They had one son, Joseph, who married Nancy Perrine, and they
had one son who died young.
2. Robert Holeman (1712-1790) who is the grandfather of
Kenneth Holman,
one of the three "very tightly related" Holman men.
3. Aaron Holeman, born about 1714 and died 1782, married Anne Story.
They had three sons: Joseph (1746-1781), Thomas (1748- ), and Aaron (1750-1812).
Only Thomas (1748- ) had sons.
4. John Holeman born about 1716. No information on him.
5. Richard Holeman (1720-1747). No information on him.
6. Francis Holeman (1724-1758) married Catherine Dye. They had
four sons: Robert (1740-1815), Daniel (1748- ), James, and Journey. James, and
Journey may be stepsons? (Catherine Dye was the sister of the Joseph Dye
who married Martha Holeman, daughter of Joseph and Thamson Holeman.)
Some of these New Jersey Holmans moved to the Ohio River Valley (both sides of the Ohio River: Mason County and Campbell County in Kentucky and Brown County and Clermont County in Ohio.)
Catherine Dye (1727-1780) married
Francis Holeman (1724-1758), who was the brother of Robert Holman
(1712-1790). (After
the death of Francis Holeman, Catherine Dye married William Badcock.)
Robert Holman (1712-1790) was the grandfather of
Kenneth Holeman (one of the three “very tightly related”
Holman men).
* Three of the nephews of Catherine Dye (sons of William Dye and Margaret
Salter) were born in New Jersey and relocated to Mason County, Kentucky around 1790.
* Two of the nephews of Catherine Dye (sons of James Dye and Sarah Leach) were born in New Jersey and moved west, first to southwest Pennsylvania and then to Ohio.
* Catherine Holeman (1748-1831), the daughter of Francis and Catherine (Dye) Holeman, married
Peter Spencer Sunderland. Peter
Sunderland was born in 1737 in Philadelphia, married Catherine Holeman in 1778 in Somerset
County, New Jersey, lived in Fayette County, Pennsylvania in 1788-1790, lived in Hamilton County, Ohio in 1799, and died in 1827 in Fort Amanda, Allen
County, Ohio.
Joseph Holman, born 1773 in New Jersey and died 1823 in Bethel, Clermont Co., Ohio married
Eleanor Perrine (1777 - 1823) in 1797. Joseph Holeman is the brother of
Jacob Holeman and the son of Robert Holeman (1712 - 1790). [Jacob Holeman is thought to be the father of
Kenneth Holeman, one of the three “very tightly related” Holman men.] In 1819 or 1820 two of the sons of Joseph and Eleanor
(Perrine) Holman relocated to Williamsburg,
Ohio.
* The brother of Eleanor Perrine (1777 - 1823), James Perrine (1780-1864) relocated to Clermont County, Ohio in
1803.
* The sister of Eleanor Perrine (1777 - 1823), Martha Perrine (1772 - 1849) and
Martha's husband,
James Isaac Dye (1770 - 1862) in 1805 emigrated to New Bethel, Ohio, but not long afterward
they relocated near what is now Cold Springs, Campbell County, Kentucky. [See James
Holman of Madison
County, Kentucky]
John Holeman was born about 1780 in New Jersey (Parents unknown). In 1803 in Burlington County, New Jersey, he married Nancy Huffman. Between 1821 and 1824, he relocated his family to Goshen Twp., in the part of Columbiana County, Ohio that is now Mahoning County. Sarah Holeman (daughter of John and Nancy (Huffman) Holeman) was born Nov 05, 1816 in Mt Holly, Burlington Co., New Jersey; married Abel Penrose Phillips in 1833 in Columbiana County, Ohio; married Ellsworth Holeman in 1874 in Mt Holly, Burlington Co., New Jersey; and died 1901 in Mt Holly, Burlington Co., New Jersey. Abel Penrose Phillips and Sarah Holeman had a son Lewis M Phillips who was born in 1839 in Covington, Campbell County, Kentucky and died in 1918 in Salem, Columbiana County, Ohio. [Covington, Kentucky is located on the west side of the Licking River at its confluence with the Ohio River, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.]

Other possible Holman lines
--
Captain James Holman of Henrico County, Virginia and his brother, Henry
Holeman
Captain James Holeman (1667-1759) received a land grant on Feb 18, 1722 in the part of Henrico County that became Goochland County,
Virginia.
His grandson, John Holeman (born Dec 25, 1736 in Goochland Co., Virginia) was in the same locations in the same time periods to have connections with two of the
three "very tightly related" Holman men.
(See Grayson County, Kentucky.)
However, for this to be a possibility, one must assume that Captain James Holeman (1667-1759) is related to
Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey.
I found no connection with the three "very tightly related" Holman
men.
--
The "Tandy" Holmans of Goochland County.
William Holeman (1658-after 1695) and his wife Ann Tandy were in Goochland County,
Virginia.
Capt Tandy Holeman:
born: Abt. 1756 in Caroline County, Virginia
married first: Eleanor Ann Bradley in 1784 in Virginia
married second: Elizabeth Abney on Sep 30, 1786 in Amherst County, Virginia
married third: Elizabeth "Betsy" Stevenson in Sept 1820 in Clark County, Kentucky
died: Jul 24, 1836 in Clark County, Kentucky
his widow, Elizabeth "Betsy" Stevenson, received his pension from Feb 3, 1853 to Sept 1859
his father, William Holeman (born 1725 in York County, Virginia) married Susannah Thompson
his grandfather, Tandy H Holeman (born 1695 in Tidewater, York County, Virginia) married Mary Wagstaff
However, for this to be a possibility, one must assume that William Holeman (1658-after 1695) is related to Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey. I found no connection with the three "very tightly related" Holman men.
--
Richard Holeman of Person County, North Carolina
According to the Person County Heritage Book, "Richard Holeman was the first known generation of Holemans to live in America. He originally lived in Massachusetts
abt 1730, migrated to Virginia, and then settled in
North Carolina."
I found no connection with the three "very tightly related" Holman
men.
[These Holmans may be related to the Holmans in the part of Henrico County that became Goochland County, Virginia.]
--
***
When and Where to look
The time frame for finding when the ancestors of two of the three "very tightly related" Holman men connect with the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey would be between 1750 and 1800.
--
Our unknown ancestors could have followed the path of the family of John Van Meter of New York and New Jersey.
* His two sons migrated from New Jersey down to the area of Frederick County, Maryland. (Frederick County, Maryland and Frederick County, Virginia are across the Potomac River from each other.) In 1730, the sons applied for and received from Virginia Governor Gooch a land grant for 40,000 acres.
* Jacob Van Meter (1723-1798) was the fourth and
youngest son of John Van Meter, Jr. and his second wife, Margaret Mulinar. Around
1768, Jacob Van Meter (1723-1798) and his wife Letitia Strobe sold their land in
Frederick County, Virginia and relocated to the southwestern part of
Pennsylvania (which was also claimed by Virginia). (See Shenandoah
Valley.)
* In 1779, Jacob Van Meter (1723-1798) again relocated. This time he loaded
twenty-seven houseboats with his extended family and floated from Pittsburgh
down the Ohio River to near Louisville, Kentucky. They joined a settlement in
the part of Nelson County, Kentucky which later became Hardin
County, Kentucky.
[Note: Edward Holman and Rosetta Van Sandt had three sons: Henry (born 1735), George (born 1737), and Edward (born 1741). Henry and Edward and the son of George (George, Jr.) in 1774 relocated to southwest Pennsylvania (an area which was also claimed by Virginia). They probably followed the same path used by Major George Washington of Virginia when in 1753 he went to Pittsburgh to object to the French expansion into the Ohio Valley. In 1776, Edward Holeman, George, Jr., and adopted son Richard Rue descended the Ohio River and settled at the mouth of Kentucky River. Because of their military service, Henry and Edward claimed land grants in 1780 in Fayette County, Kentucky, in an area that later became Woodford County, Kentucky.]
--
Our unknown ancestors could have followed the path of the family Thomas Holeman, died 1798, of Wilkes County, North Carolina.
* One of the sons of the Robert Holman who left a 1709 Will in Monmouth, New Jersey, Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, along with his younger brother, Daniel Holman, b. 1689, relocated to Kent County, Maryland to be near his relatives. From about 1710 to 1735, they probably lived with the Edward Holman (1687-1743) who married Rosata VanSant. (Edward Holman had extensive land holdings and the Maryland Archives show no land holdings for Daniel Holman or Thomas Holman.) The early Holman family researchers identified Edward Holman of Kent County, Maryland and Daniel Holman of Shenandoah Valley, Virginia as "cousins."
* Daniel Holman, born Abt. 1689, relocated to Shenandoah Valley in Virginia in 1735/36, and secured rights to property on Holman Creek in the area that became Shenandoah County, Virginia. The property was part of a large tract first controlled by the Van Meter family and later by Jost Hite. Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, may have relocated to Holman Creek at the same time as his younger brother, Daniel, or he may have come at a later date, or he may not have come at all.
* Thomas Holman, born Abt. 1686, had a son, Thomas Holeman, born 1723 in Kent County, Maryland. He may have relocated to Holman Creek at the same time as his uncle Daniel, or he may have come later. He then relocated from the Shenandoah Valley to Rowan County in what was to become Surry and later to be Wilkes County, North Carolina and died there in 1798.
* Descendants of Thomas Holeman, died 1798, relocated to Kentucky and Tennessee, and later Missouri and Arkansas. [Some of the North Carolina Holmans went directly into Eastern Tennessee. Others went north on the The Great Valley Road to Washington County, Virginia and then went west along the Virginia-Tennessee border on Daniel Boone's Wilderness Road. Some went through the Cumberland Gap into south-central Kentucky and East and Middle Tennessee. Others went through the Cumberland Gap, across the Cumberland River, and on to Madison and Woodford Counties in Kentucky.
--
The ancestors of two of the three "very tightly related" Holman men probably did not have the political clout and financial resources necessary to receive one of these very large tracts in Virginia and/or North Carolina, but they did have sufficient resources to buy rights to property on one of the large tracts, to secure ownership through the "head-right" process, and to purchase slaves.

***
Holman Lines Ruled Out
The yDNA tests to date seem to rule out two Holman lines as being related to the "three very tightly related Holman men":
* The DNA results for the descendant of James
Holeman, b. 1814 in Madison
County, Kentucky (one of the three "very tightly related" Holman
men) did not match the tests results in the Holman Family DNA Project for the two descendants of "German" Holmans:
Conrad Holman (born before 1730 in Germany or Switzerland and died about 1771 in Amelia Township, South Carolina) and
John Wendel Hallman/Heilman (born about 1710 probably in Germany and died in South Carolina). [No matches to Family DNA Project for Hagelman, Hailman, Hallman, Halman, Heilman, Heilmann, Helman, Heylman, Heylmann, Hileman, Hilemann, Hilleman, Hillemann, Hillman surnames.]
* The DNA results for the descendant of James Holeman, b. 1814 did not match any of the tests results in the Hollyman Family DNA Project (males who are or believe they are descended from the
Christopher Hollyman who resided in Isle of Wight County, Virginia and died there in 1691).
--
The New England Holmans.
Some Holman family researchers believe that the Robert Holman who died in Jun 1709 in Freehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey descends from the New England Holmans, but I have found no direct connection.
The Samuel Holman of Newport, Rhode Island may be a descendant of the New England Holmans and he did buy a lot in
Monmouth County, New Jersey. However, there is no evidence that he relocated to New Jersey, and he had no known male descendants.
--
The Kent County, Maryland Holmans
Edward Holman (born abt. 1687 Kent County, Maryland) married Rosetta Van Sandt (born 1716 in Maryland).
The three "very tightly related" Holman men are somehow related to this group, but I have found no direct connection.
Descendants of these Kent County, Maryland Holmans and the
Shenandoah Valley Holmans identified themselves as "cousins". One possible explanation is that the New Jersey Holmans relocated to Kent County, Maryland before moving to the Shenandoah Valley.
[See Livingston County,
Kentucky]
--
The Anne Arundel County, Maryland Holmans
Abraham Holman transported himself from England to Maryland about 1649 and his brother,
William, did the same about 1658.
I have found no connection between this group and the three "very tightly related" Holman
men.
--
Richard Holman of Mercer County, Kentucky
Richard Holeman (born Abt. 1762 in London, England; died Mar 25, 1837 in Mercer County, Kentucky) is not related to the Thomas Holeman who also lived in
Mercer County, Kentucky.
[Thomas Holeman (1765-1850), son of the Isaac Holeman who died
1808.]
I found no connection with the three "very tightly related" Holman
men.
