William Holland died 1868 In Attala Co. MS and Alcey (Bramlett) Holland died 1870 in Attala Co. MS. It is possible that Y.M.

Since Y.M. Hollands first two children were born in Alabama (1834, 1838), and commencing ten years later (1848) the remaining eight children were born in MS, Y.M. Holland may have had two wives, the first wife (name unknown) the mother of the two children born in Alabama, and the second wife (Martha) the mother of the eight children born in MS.
The Y.M. Holland family was not found in any Census or other basic records during the period 1831 - 1859. They were in Alabama in the mid to late 1830's because two daughters were born there (1834 & 1838). the remaining six daughters and two sons were all born in Mississippi during the period 1844 - 1856. They were not found in any census records for 1840 and 1850. They first appeared on the 1860 census for Rushings Store, Lauderdale Co. MS.
The following data appears in the Crenshaw County Alabama marriage records: "Spouse 1: Polly McCarthy, Spouse 2: Y.M. Holland, Marriage Date: 19 Dec 1867, Marriage Place: Crenshaw, Surety/Bond Date: 19 Dec 1867, Performed By: M.G., Surety/Perf. Name: Wm Findley, OSPage: 24". Source for this data is: Dodd, Jordan R. "Early American Marriages: Alabama, 1800 to 1920. Orem, UT: Ancestry, Inc., 1999. This information is also shown in "Crenshaw County Alabama Marriages 1867" on the Crenshaw County Homepage. In the 1860 Lauderdale Co. MS census our Y.M. Hollands wifes first name is listed as "Martha". In the 1870 Attala Co. MS census his wifes first name is again listed as " Martha". It is doubtful that the Y.M. Holland who married Polly McCarthy is our Y.M. Holland.
