Holder DNA Genealogy Project - Group A

Holder family of Bertie and Chatham Counties, North Carolina

 

We believe that these samples all represent descendants of Thomas Holder and Susannah Bunch of Bertie Co. NC.

Sample #001: USA: Thomas Holder & Susannah Bunch, Bertie Co. NC > John Holder & Mary Jackson, Bertie & Orange Co. NC > Aaron Holder & Rebeccah Evans; Orange, Wake & Chatham Co. NC > John Holder & Maryanne Elizabeth Smith Chatham Co. NC > Joseph Isaiah Holder & Sarah Eveline Worthington, Chatham County, NC to Alachua County, Florida

Sample #003 USA: Thomas Holder & Susannah Bunch, Bertie Co. NC > John Holder & Mary Jackson, Bertie & Orange Co. NC > Aaron Holder & Rebeccah Evans; Orange, Wake & Chatham Co. NC > John Holder & Maryanne Elizabeth Smith Chatham Co. NC > John Henry Holder & Eldora Holland, Chatham County, NC

Sample #004 USA: Thomas Holder & Susannah Bunch, Bertie Co. NC > John Holder & Mary Jackson, Bertie & Orange Co. NC > Aaron Holder & Rebeccah Evans; Orange, Wake & Chatham Co. NC > Gilbert Evans Holder (1811-after 1880) Wake County, NC and Lincoln, Bedford and Moore County, TN > Aaron Wesley Holder (1834-1907) Wake County, NC and Lincoln, Bedford amd Marshall County, TN

Sample #013 USA:William P. Holder (Born 1815 in Murphy, Cherokee County, NC) & Margaret Sherrill; William Clayton Holder(Born Oct. 22, 1848 in NC Died November 09, 1923) & Harriet Evelyn Dunlop; William Newman Holder(Born December 31, 1875 in Parker County Texas Died January 09, 1945 Deming, New Mexico) & Dora Leddenham.
Note that this sample, which now defines group A2, differs from the others at the rapidly mutating marker DYS 458

Sample #014 USA: William Holder & Mary Ann Hardin?? >> Daniel Holder & Nancy Standeford Orange Co. NC >> William Henderson Holder & Nancy Hauser, Stokes/Forsyth Co. NC >> Daniel P. Holder, Indiana

Sample #017 USA: William P. Holder (ca. 1815 NC - ca. 1860 Polk Co. AR) > William Clayton Holder (1848 NC - 1923 Lynn Co. TX) > Ben Rogers Holder (1889-1968 TX)

Sample #020 USA: William B. Holder, born 1863 (location unk), married Ollie Jones in Alabama and later moved to Wichita Falls, TX. This sample matches the A1 group over 25 markers; we also have data for markers 26-37 for this sample.

The paper trail for samples #013, #014. #017 and #020 need to be explored further back, to see if a connection can be made to Thomas and Susannah.

Sample #027 USA: Elisha Holder > Shadrack Holder b. 1776 in Bertie Co. NC and Minnie Dunning > Thomas Holder b. 1807 KY and Lucinda Hildrith > Peter H. Holder b. 1832 KY and Henrietta White > Peter O. Holder b. 1877 Bollinger Co. MO. This sample differs from the other group A samples at DYS 447.

Sample #034 USA: Newman Jackson Holder (1818-1896), born NC, died Texas, married Martha Ann Moss in Cherokee Co. NC 1847; in Hood Co. TX 1870s-1880s, moved to Donley Co. TX late 1880s. Like sample 013, this one has a connection to Cherokee Co. NC, and it seems likely that William P. Holder and Newman Jackson Holder are brothers, probably sons of William Holder and Elizabeth Jackson.

This family appears to belong to Haplogroup R1b.
