| Note* | | John was possibly deceased prior to 1850 as he was not listed with hisfamily in the 1850 census. The 1830 Nile Township, Scioto County, Ohio census shows John's family as1 male under 4 years (William), 2 males age 5-9; 1 male age 10-14; and 1male age 40-49 (John). Also listed were 2 females under age 4; and 1female age 30-39 (Sarah). The 1850 Niles Township, Scioto County, Ohio census reflects Sarah as thehead of the household. She was listed as age 45, born in Ohio and had$400 worth of Real Estate. Living with her were Ezra age 20; David age18; Sarah age 15; A.J. (Andrew Jackson) age 12; Ruhama age 11; andWilliam age 21. Sarah's DOB could be anywhere between 1799-1805 as thathow it calculates based on the age shown in 1830 through 1870 censusreports. During the 1870 Niles Township, Scioto County, Ohio census,Sarah was living with Thomas Jackson Holt and was shown as a retiredhousekeeper. This would place Sarah's year of birth at about 1805,William Denney gives it as 1806, John Sheets gives it as 1801 Sarah was enumerated with son Ezria Holt during the 1860 census and withson Andrew J Holt during the 1870 Niles Township census. Per daughter Ruhama's obituary, there were 14 children in this family,thus we are missing many. Marge Mercer tells me that there were 15children in the family with nine living to adulthood and Ruhama being theyoungest Note that Cheryl Mandrackie on her Gen Circles report has Francis,Sophia, and Ananias (children I presently list as those of John Holt &Sarah Lewis). I am not sure about the correct placement of them! Cherylalso has an Isariah and a Elizabeth as children for this family! John and Sarah were laid to rest at the Holt Cemetery, Niles Township,Scioto County, Ohio2 |
