General Notes:
Notes from Sarah Ann Maxwell via Hugh Durwood Maxwell, Jr
Hugh Maxwell was a surveyor, Justice of the Peace, Postmaster of Resaca, NC.(see note) , and
remained in the area during the Civil War to help maintain peace and order. He was pardoned by
President Andrew Johnson for his activity on the Confederate side during the Civil War.
He was listed on the Roll of Members, Oct. 17, 1853, of the Duplin County Agricultural Society,
organized April 23, 1854, according to "Duplin's History and Government", F. W. McGowen,
Chapter 20.
Judge Henry A. Grady at the Dedication of the B.F.Grady High School, September 1, 1928, and
on file in the office of the County Board of Education of Duplin County, said:
"I could tell you how I used to go out to Mr. Hugh Maxwell's on Saturday night s and spend
Sunday with Warren and Reddin and Bob. Those visits always filled me with delight, for the
Maxwell boys always kept a supply of spy-glasses, magnets, prisms and scientific tops, and they
had the first bicycle that was ever seen in Duplin County - one of the old Pope kind that had a
large wheel in front and a small wheel in the rear. It's greatest value lay in the field of acrobatics,
and especially in teaching its rider how to land on his feet when turning a somersault. Mr. Maxwell
kept the Post Office, called Resaca, while a few miles away cousin John Grady was Post Master
at Albertson."
Dorothy Turner Lawton remembers Bessie Maxwell Watson telling her of Hugh Maxwell asking his
wife, Repsey, if she would like to go for a "shaking" and they would climb on their horses and take
off on a gallop on Sunday afternoons, his long white beard flowing in the breeze and her apron
flapping.
Note from Col. Hugh DurwoodMaxwell, Jr., USAF, retired
Resaca was named after a battle in the Mexican-American War at a place called Resaca De Las
Palmas near the mouth of the Rio Grande River.

Universalist minister and friend of the Maxwells, was on hand to deliver a eulogy.

Notes from: Col. Hugh Durwood Maxwell, Jr. USAF, retired
Hugh Egar Maxwell said his Uncle Gilbert was a very stern, no foolishness father
and his children did as they were told.
Page 12 of 103 Monday, August 17, 2009 2:52:20 PM
Upon his death when he was about 93, his mind was still clear; he had informed
his children he did not want any preachers at his funeral. Emily Turner Maxwell
said the public was not in attendance and relatives only as far a nieces and
nephews were present. at the appointed time, staff of the funeral company did
the necessary tasks and there was no talk. She said it was the most solemn and
serious funeral she had attended and the people present were left to think their
own thoughts of the deceased and his family.
He believed in God but he did not believe in the organized church.
Gilbert had a total of seven sons and one daughter. They used to tell people that
we are seven boys and each boy has a sister, and people would mistakenly
believe there were 14 children in all. Several of the boys started Maxwell Brothers
Furniture Stores in the South based in Augusta and have a Professional Chair
dedicated to Uncle Gilbert in Georgia Medical College there, and gave to Augusta
State University there the Grover C. Maxwell Theater of the Performing Arts.
Others of the boys had a large and successful wholesale grocery business in
New Bern. I have heard that they operated their own ship hauling sugar from
Cuba, and got into trouble with the rationing powers during WWII for some misuse
of suger, Incidentally, Grover C. Maxwell Jr. is retired and living in Greenville, NC.

The Elder Maxwells were very industrious and prominent in the area. In addition
to his large farm operations, Mr. Maxwell owned and operated a supply store near
his home, and was for many years postmaster of eh Resaca post office. He also
owned and operated many saw mills and turned out large amounts of lumber.
Turpentine became a substantial by-product of the lumber business
Discussing his multiple business activities in his later years, he explained he had
to develope and operate businesses to occupy his growing sons and to teach
them to make their way in the business world. In that, he was eminently

successful. His eight children, all of whom lined to maturity, were good business
people.
By 1910 four of the Maxwell sons had migrated to Augusta, GA and three of them
there were engaged in the retail furniture trade with a cousin, T.R. Maxwell.
Gilbert, (then 35) and all of his sons also moved to Augusta. He bought a farm
about ten miles from Augusta and had more than average success with its
operations for several years.
But in 1914 the Maxwells moved again-back to North Carolina and to Seven
Springs in Wayne County, not far from Resaca; The Maxwell property at Seven
Springs included an already famous mineral springs and hotel, in addition to
adjacent and nearby farmland. They operated both the hotel and the springs and
in the immediate years, attracted a wide clientele.
Seven Springs in 1910 was actually known as White Hall, so named fro the
plantation home of William Whitefield, built in 1741, located behind the United
Methodist Church. It was locally and generally known as "Seven Springs"
because of the seven mineral springs early recognized for the medicinal value of
their water. The springs were first operated in 1881 and continued operation until
1944.
The Neuse River flows nearby. Bill Powel in the "The North Carolina Gazetter"
page 446, records that the confederate ironclad "Neuse" was built at Seven
Springs and that the area was the site of a Civil War Skirmish in 1862. The hotel
was popular place for visitors near and far for vacations and drinking the spring
water for medicinal purposes. Water from the springs was said to be good for
different ailments. Number one & two wer good for kidney trouble, number three
for the liver, number four for stomach disorders. five and six for excess acidity,
and number seven for high blood pressure. All were said to be good for
indigestion. The guest could get all they could eat of fresh vegetables raised on
the farm. With Barbecue, fried chicken, ham, hot biscuits, home made butter, and
banana fritters, served with home made ice cream.
Gilbert and Jeannette Maxwell celebrated their 50th. wedding anniversary at their
home in Seven Springs Nov. 23, 1930, with family and friends. There was a
brilliant reception at the Seven Springs Hotel during the afternoon, followed by a
family dinner. They lived to celebrate their 69th anniversary.

BOB MAXWELL Laid to Rest:
Thurdsay, August 28, 1941
Funeral services for Robert Goodman Maxwell age 79, who died Thurdsay
morning, Aug. 26 in a Wilson hospital were held Friday afternoon at 4:30 in the
Outlaw's Bridge Universalist Church. Services were conducted by the Rev.G. H.
Ulrich, paster of Outlaw's Bridge church and Judge Henry A. Grady.
Mrs. Louise McMillan with her son, Dick, and the church choir provided the music.
Mrs. McMillan and her son sang a duet, "Whispering Hope." Other hymns played
were: "Beyond the Smiling and Weeping", "Rock of Ages", and "Nearer My God
To Thee."
At the request of the deceased, Judge Henry A. Grady, friend of Mr. Maxwell and
Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of NC, conducted the portion of the
service in regard to Mr. Maxwell's Masonic affiliaton. Judge Grady paid high
tribute to Mr. Maxwell as a man and a Mason and a friend.
Mr. Maxwell was the son of Hugh Maxwell and Repsie Grady Maxwell. He was
one of seven brothers, of whom he was the last survivor but one, G. M. Maxwell
of Seven Springs. He was born in Albertson Township, Duplin County and spent
the larger portion of his life there, though he was well known throughout his
county, and the state. He was a teacher of the old school and deeply interested in
education throughout his entire life. He was chairman of the B. F. Grady school
board at the time of his death. A noted lecturer back in the 90's(1890's), it was the
pride of Mr. Maxwell's life that he had been selected to go on the stump for
Governor Charles B. Aycock. He served his county one year in the State Senate,
was well-known as a surveyor and engineer, Philosopher and humorist.
Following the services in the church, the remains were viewed first by his white
friends and then by the colored people who knew and loved him as did his white
friends throughout life.
Interment was in the Outlaw's bridge chruch cemetery by the side of his wife,
"Aunt" Chellie who preceded him in death several years ago. The rites at the
graveside were in charge of members of St. John's Lodge No. 13, at Kenansville
of which was a member and past master.
The large crowd and the many beautiful floral offerings bore their own testimony
to "Uncle" Bob's popularity during his long lifetime.
He is survived by two daughters, Miss Annie Maxwell of the home and Miss Myra
Maxwell of Wilson; one son, Warren Maxwell of the community and two
stepchildren, Mrs Edd Grady of the home and J. G. Jones of Spartanburg, SC. A
number of grandchildren and stepgrandchildren also survive.
Pallbearers were: Marvin Simmons, Stephen Harper, Earl Smith, A. J. Dickson,
and Alvin Kornegay. They were all Masons and all but one were members of his
Lodge.
EDITORIAL COMMENT BY THE EDITOR
"Uncle Bob" as he was more affectionately known, loved his county and his home
community. It has been said of him many times that had he adhered strictly to
any one party throughout his life he could have held most any office he desired.

As Judge Grady said of him, hne was too big to belong to any party. He was a
free thinker and a man who was not afraid to fight for what he thought was right,
though the world be against him. Hes life's dream and ambition was to see the
younger people in his commuity have as good an opportunity as those anywhere
and he continuously talked and preached to them that they did have.
He was a scholar among scholars and was probably the best, or one of the
best-read men in Duplin County. "Uncle Bob" knew no stranger and knew no
enemies. Rev. Mr. Ulrich quoted from the poem' Let me live in a house by the
side of the road and be a friend of man", saying that poem expressed "Uncle
Bob" and expressed the home he and his late wife made inthe hert of the
Outlaw's Bridge community.
For years he had fought for a hard surfaced road in his community and for electric
light lines. providence was kind enough to let him live to see these
accomplishments. In cooperation with other educational leaders in Duplin he was
a leading spirit in the establishment of the B. F. Grady School. it could be said
that he was almost individually responsible for the establishment of the
Outlaw'sBridge School, and this writer now suggests to our county board of
education that the school be officially named "Maxwell School" in his honor.
Bob Maxwell is gone but his spirit will live in Albertson Township and the results
of his labors will be seen for ages to come.
He did not officially belong to any church but as Rev. Mr. Ulrich said, he was truly
a Christian and worked for all protestant churches. Bob Maxwell was not a
preacher but a living example of a good man and a great life.

John Grady, thought to be a son of William Grady and grandson of John and

1985 Reunion this fact; her father, I believe a lawyer in Wilmington named Robert
or Roland Grady, had records of conversations with family members that led to
this conclusion) was the first North Carolinian to die in a Revolutionary War battle
at Moore's Creek Bridge.
On February 27,1776, a group of Patriots, about 1,000 under the command of
Colonels Richard Caswell and Alexander Lillington, in a foggy dawn met in battle

the bridge so the the Highlander Scots fell off in disarray and were routed in three
minutes. John Grady was killed in this battle. John Grady was described as a
20-year old farm boy.
In 1857, his remains were "taken from the banks of the Cape Fear near

General Notes:
Thomas owned livestock as well as land. He slaughtered virtually all his livestock
during the Civil War to feed the people left on the land who were not away fighting
in the war. By the end of the war, there was little, if anything, left. Thomas' son,
Edward, fought in the Civil War. Sometime after the war had ended, the Stokes
farm was to be put up for sale that payment to creditors might be made. Thomas
instructed Edward to go and bid to buy the farm back. He didn't know how it was
to be paid for, but he told Edward they would pay for it somehow. Edward did buy
it back, and apparently they were eventually able to pay for it.

Records.
Another story says he heard noise out where his pigs were penned, went out see what the fuss
was about, and Tories were trying to steal pigs. They captured William Maxwell, took him away,
he managed to get word back to his family that this happened, and then he was never heard of
again.
A William Maxwell was listed among "American Prisoners of the Revolutionary War" by Danche,
published 1911, a list from the papers of the British War Department in London, British ship Old
Jersey stationed off Fly Marker, New York City, Wallabout Bay, East River. It was a condemned
cattle ship from America to London run. 11,500 names listed, 10 prisoners were said to have died
per night due to confinement, filth, disease and exposure.
Another theory is that he was carried to South Carolina by the Tories and died there in prison.

Forage Master for the revolutionary army.

Notes for William Houston Esq.:
General Notes:
William Houston appears to have been born at Castle Graig in Antrim County Ireland. His father,
William Houston was the High Sheriff of the county. His father's sister, Helen married Henry
McCulloh, a wealthy London merchant.
William came to America with his uncle's family in 1738. They landed in Charleston, SC in May of
that year. By July, they moved to Wilmington where Henry McCulloh became one of the largest
landholders in the Colony. He was granted over 1,000,000 acres of land by George II. This land
was mainly in Anson and Mecklenburg Co, NC and York Co., SC. There were 1000 acres in
present day Duplin County, NC.
Henry left for England in 1745 never to return. William Houston managed his uncle's affairs in the
Colony after his departure. He made his home on the Duplin Co. grant and named his plantation
Sacreta, after the Villa Henry McCulloh had in Northern Italy.There is to this day a town named
Sacreta in Duplin Co.
William Houston was Duplin County's first representative to the House of Commons. He served in
that post from 1749 until 1765. In 1765 Governor Tryon apointed him Stamp Master for the
Colony. There is some controversy on whether hs was aware of the appointment, but upon his
arrival in Wilmington to accept the post, he was apprehended by a mob and forced to resign. His
resignation letter is in the State Archives in Raleigh. In the letter, he seems to gladly resign,
stating that he would "accept no post that was against the will of the people.
During the REvolution, he served as Justice of the Peace for Duplin Co. In 1787 he petitioned the

Notes for SAMUEL STOKES, SR.:
Pitt County was formed from Beaufort County in 1762. In 1786, part of Craven County was
transferred to Pitt County. This latter area was where the Stokes family lived from about 1770, a
farm area long since known as Stokestown, a few miles from Ayden.
Samuel Stokes Sr. was born about 1720 and died about 1770 in Pitt County, North Carolina. He
had four sons: James Stokes Sr., Samuel Stokes Jr., Henry Stokes, and Redden Stokes.
From Beaufort County deeds we have a copy of a land grant from the Earl of Granville to Samuel

The settlement of the territory now composing Jackson County began some time
prior to 1830, the date of its organization, but by whom or just when the first
settlement was made can not be definitely stated. The following named persons
who composed the first grand jury of the county were, as a matter of
course, prominent pioneers here; Nicholas Copeland, Dudley Glass, Jesse Gray,
Jacob Haggerton, Michael Haggerton, Silas T. Glass, Samuel Stokes, Joseph
Haggerton, Elijah Bartley, Holloway Stokes, John Teague, John Flannery, Jacob
Flannery, William Melton, John James, Martin Copeland, Martin Bridgeman and
Redding Stokes, Some of these, perhaps, lived in that part of the county since cut
off in the formation of Woodruff County. John Wideman, at whose house the first
courts were held, the Copelands and Newton Arnold, were the first settlers in the
neighborhood of what is now Irwin Station, on the Batesville & Brinkley Railroad.
George Hatch and a Mr. Daugherty were the first to locate at Newport.
Alexander, George, William, Samuel and John Robinson, five brothers, and their
cousin James Robinson, all from Tennessee, together with George Crummel and
several others, with their families, located in 1831 in the neighborhood of
Litchfield. The Grays and Stokes were the first settlers in the southern part of the
county, a Frenchman, Shavenaugh by name, Dunbar and the Hollenheads, were
among the first in the northern part, and Thomas T. Tunstall and Samuel Reid
were early residents at Jacksonport. About the year 1833 or 1834, the Robinsons
bought a steam-boat, the "Mount Pleasant," with which they carried on a trade for
several years following, between their landing at Newport and New Orleans. [For
the names of other pioneer settlers see the early county officers and biographical
sketches.]

Plunkett was about 9 years old when his father died. He left half his land to Plunkett. Plunkett's
step-brothers Robert and David were made his guardians. (Robert died 5 years later, in 1698.)
Between 1695 and 1699, the VA County Court Records-Order book Abstracts of Esses County,
VA 1695-1699, states"Plimeket Holt is bound unto James Broughan until he arrives to ye age of
one and twenty years, ye sd Boughan obliging himself to give ye sd Holt two years schooling
when he comes to ye age of ten or eleven years. "In 1713, Plunkett sold his interest in his father's
land to James Boughan.
Between 1724 and 1742, various court records mention Plunkett in connection with "being absent
from his Parrish Church during the months of February, March, and Aprill". failure to appear in
court for debts assessed to him, and for trespass.
(VA Genealogy, Vol 25, p 289) "Plunkett Holt, 13 lbs 2.11 Dead; left sufficient estate in Prince
Edward to pay all debts, which is in the hands of his sons James and Plunkett Holt." British
Mercantile Claims - 1775-1803, p 83, t79/89.
Need futher research: Joan Ifland believes Plunkett Harraway Holt's mother may not have been
Margaret Plunkett, but a daughter of Plunkett Harroway/Hardaway. There was a Plunkett
Harroway. Several records list Plunkett Harroway Holt. Margaret could have been Margaret
Harroway and Plunkett might be named for her father. However a Plunkett family lived near the
Holt's in Caroline Co. in the 1740s.

Notes for Francis Holt:
General Notes:
Wife's last name may have been Featherston, a family in Amelia County, VA. The
families moved to Rowan and Surry Counties in NC near the Dan River. Most of
the children of Plunkett, Jr. eventually moved to North Carolina. The descendants
eventually moved to West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio (Charles Holt

died Jul 1661 in St. Mary's Co., Maryland.
Notes for Robert Holt:
General Notes:
Among the earliest definite records of the name Holt in England are those of John Holt of
Warwickshire, before 1272; those of Henry de la Holte of Worchestershire, 1273; those of William
del Holt of Yorkshire. While it is not definitely known from wich of the many lines of the family in
Page 81 of 103 Monday, August 17, 2009 2:52:24 PM
England the first emigrants of the name ot come to America were descended, it is recorded tht the
Holts were among the earliest settlers in this country. The first o f the name in America was
Randall or Randolph Holt who came over in "The George" in 1620. He married Mary Baily of Hog
Island, North Carolina in 1626. He was 13 when he came over. They had two sons, John and
Captain Michael Holt. (Descendants of John and Isabel Holt)
A Robert, son of John HOLTE was baptised at Rochdale on 5 May 1605. A Robert Holt married
Martha HEYWOOD 29 August 1621 at Rochdale and Dorothie HEAWOOD married a Robert
HOULTE 19 December 1625 at Manchester.
From: Bruce Jackson, County Archivist, Lancashire England. Ref: A1/A-S.B.
In Gust. Skordas' "Early Immigrants to Maryland:, 1912, "Robert Holt, immigrated 1646 with wife
and 4 children: (2, fol,229,550)
Robert Holt was issued a land warrant to lay out 400 acres "in any place within this province
southward of Patuxtent River". (Patents ABH.32) Edward (Edmund) Hudson was associated with
Robert Holt adn was living in the same household.
Edward defaulted on a bond in 1650 and the court allowed Robert Holt to "attach his estate" for
the cost.(p 135)
In the Maryland Archives continued (10-109/112): November 6, 1651: The St. Mary's court heard
depositions concerning domestic problems between Robert Holt and his wife, Dorothy Heywood
Holt. Robert reported that Dorothy threatened to murder him. A witness reported that he saw
Dorothy and Edward Hudson "goe to bed together as if they were man and wife", with other
witnesses stating the same thing. One witness stated that Dorothy "Hoped her husband might rott
limb from limbe" and that her "heart was soe hardened against him she would never darken his
door again. " She held resentment toward her son, Richard, stating that she hoped he would end
his days on the gallows. As punishment, Edward Hudson wsa to be whipped and to live at least
30 miles from the Holts. Dorothy was to be whipped and live at least five miles from Robert, not
with Edward Hudson.
In "Crime and Punishment in Early Maryland", by R. Semmes, p. 184. This book recounts the
above. It states further: "After hearing all the evidence, the court found Dorothy and Edward
Hudson guilty of adultery. Hudson was sentenced to receive thirty lashes, while Dorothy was to
be given fifty stripes. In order to prevent Edward from having further adultery with Dorothy, he was
to leave St. Marys. If he returned without the permission of the Governor, he would receive
another whipping. Dorothy was told the she must live at least 5 miles away from her husband's
house, and if in the future she soiled his reputation by loose living, she would be severely
whipped. After this sentence was pronounced, the court reversed itself. The judge told them if they
made a humble submission, acknowledged their offense, asked for pardon and promised
amendment, then the Governor might be willing to remit the punishment which the court had
ordered. Dorothy and Robert would be allowed to live together as man and wife if they came to an
agreement.
On December 4, 1654, Robert and Dorothy divorced by clerk William Wilkinson, the clerk later
denying the the divorce was granted.
On Jan. 28, 1657, Robert was married to Christian Bonnefield by William Wilkinson, clerk.
On Oct. 6, 1658 a jury heard charges of bigamy against Robert Holt, hearing that he married
Christian Bonnefield "his owne wife Dorothy being then & yett living". Clerk Wilkinson testified as
to the marriage but denied granting a divorce from his wife, Dorothy. The jury convicted him of
bigamy, but Holt appealed and asked for a Protestant jury. (MD Archives 41-149/151, 228/230,
243/244.)

Ballycastle, Co Antrim in Northern Ireland for Col. Maxwell)
THE MAXWELLS AND THREAVE CASTLE
On an island in the river Dee in Dumfries and Galloway, historic Threave Castle stands as a
visible link with a fascinating chapter of the Maxwell family's past. While not built by Maxwells, the
tower was a Maxwell stronghold for more than a century after Lord Maxwell became heritable
custodian of Threave in 1526. The castle remained in Maxwell hands until 1640 and has been
unoccupied ever since. Today, it is maintained by Historic Scotland on the 1250 acre Threave
Estate which is maintained by the Scottish Trust of Historic Preservation.
Threave Castle's importance began long before it came into Maxwell hands. According to legend,
its small island was the home of Galloway's ancient rulers more than a thousand years ago. The
tower house itself dates to 1369, when it was built for Archibald Douglas upon his becoming Lord
of Galloway.
Dubbed Archibald "The Grim" by the English whom he ejected fro that corner of Scotland in 1384,
Archibald was the third Earl of Douglas. Among he most powerful leaders in southern Scotland, he
died on Christmas Eve in 1400. His son, the Fourth Earl of Douglas, then lived in the castle until
his own death in 1424 at the Battle of Verneuil where he fought for the French against the English.
His widow, the former Princess Margaret Stewart, eldest daughter of Robert III, lived at Threave
for another 25 years after his death, as did several later Douglases.
By the middle of the 15th century, the eighth Earl of Douglas was at loggerheads wiht King James
II, and the king began systematically destroying the power of the family. He began by personally
murdering the Earl of Stirling Castle in 1452, and all the Douglas castles had been destroyed by
1455 except Threave. Capturing the tower was no easy task, and the king came to personally
direct the two month siege. When the Douglases finally surrendered, it was not because of military
might but because some defendered were bribed wiht money and land.
The castle then became crown property, and it remained so until Lord Maxwell wasdeclared it
heritable custodian in 1526. Though the Maxwell's chief seat was at Caerlaverock Castle in

Nithsdale, Threave remained an important fortification for the Maxwells through a turbulent period,
except for a brief time, the "Rough Wooing" of 1544-45, when it was held by the English.
In 1639, Robert Maxwell, Earl of Nithsdale and Earl of Threave, supported King Charles I in his
dispute with his subjects. This resulted in The Covenanters besieging the castle. Robert, with a
small garrison of about 100, held out against vastly superior forces for thirteen weeks. Finally, in
September of that year, King Charles sent a letter authorizing Robert Maxwell to surrender
Threave Castle and walk free with honor.
After the siege, orders were given to dismantle Threave so that it could not be used again. The
roof and timbers were removed, and stone from the surrounding fortification was taken away to be
used for building other homes, but a substantial part of th tower house and artillery fortifications
still survive. Although the castle was never occupied again, it still stands as a reminder of its role
in Maxwell history and in the history of other prominent Border families.
The lands surrounding Threave Castle were purchased in 1867 by a successful Liverpool
businessman, William Gordon, and the Gordon family bequeathed the estate to the National Trust
of Scotland in the mid-1900s. The castle itself is in the care of Historic Scotland, and the National
Trust of Scotland maintains the surrounding 1250 acres, including the 60 acre Threave Garden, a
beautiful, diverse, and complete gardening center.

2048. John Holte. He was born 1585 in Rochdale, Lancashire, England.
Notes for John Holte:
General Notes:
The English surname Holt is of local origin, being on e of those names derived from the place
where a man once lived or where he one held land. In this instance the name is derived from the
Old English term "holt" which simply means "a wood" or "a grove", thus the original bearer of the
name lived near or in a wood or grove. Early instances of the surname are often preceded by the
words "de" or "del" which literally mean "from", thus reinforcing the local origin of the name.
The earlist instance of this surname found in the English records is one HUGH DE HOLTE of
Kent, whose name was recorded in 1185 in the "Templars Records". A 5th-century Scandinavian
reference to the name HOLT is found on the "Gallehus Horns". In 1230 one SIMON DEL HOLT
was recorded in the Pipe Rolls of Warwickshire. In 1699 one ELLEN HOLT, aged 27, went to the
United States to work in Virginia, the same year one GEORGE HOLT, aged 17, from Yorkshire,
also went to Virginia. Today in the United States a recent survey extimated tere are 80,000
bearers of the same name living in this country.
Notable bearers of the name include HAROLD EDWARD HOLT (1908-1967), an Australian
Liberal politician. He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1935-1967. He died in
a (suspicious) swinming acident. (He was prime minister of Australia (1966-1967). His body was
never recovered.)
ANOTHER DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE SURNAME HOLT
The surname HOLT has two possible origins, one from a place so named of which there are
several examples in England, and the second, toponymical from the Old English word, holt, -
'wood'.
Once everyone was known by a single name but this led to confusion and so an extra name was
adopted. Thus a man named John who hailed from HOLT might be known as 'JOHN (of) HOLT,
and William who lived near a wood as 'WILLIAM (of the) HOLT', the additional name in each case
eventually becoming hereditary as a surname.
Early records mention HUGO DE HOLTE in Kent in 1185; SIMON DEL HOLT in theWarwickshire
Pipe Rolls in 1230 and WALTER IN THE HOLTE in Somerset in 1260.
JOHN HOLT who died in 1418 was a noted jurist.
Among early emigrants from England to America was RANDALL HOLT who is recorded in Virginia
in 1620. JOSEPH HOLT was a celebrated nineteenth century American statesman.
The arms generally is described heraldically as: Azure, two bars and in chief a cross formy fitchy
or; Crest: A squirrel sejant or holding in its paws a hazel branch slipped and sructed all proper;
and for the Motto: 'EXALTAVIT HUMILES.'
Page 90 of 103 Monday, August 17, 2009 2:52:25 PM
Writers of the past have attributed symbolism to the tintures and charges of heraldry - thus,
azure(blue) is said to denote Loyalty; and or (Gold), Generosity. Crosses are indicative of some
Christian experience, whilst the squirrel which is a woodland creature whose next is known as a
bolt is doubtless an allusion to the surname. The motto may be translated as 'HE HATH
EXALTED THE HUMBLE'.
FURTHER...THE FAMILY NAME ORIGIN: HOLT
The surname of HOLT was a locational name 'the dweller at the holt' from residence near a wood
or grove. Local surnames, by far the largest group, derived from a place name where the man
held land or from a place from which he had come, or where he actually lived. These local
surnames were originally preceded by a preposition such as "de", "atte", "by", or "in". The names
may derive from a manor held, from working in a religious dwelling or from literally living by a
wood or marsh or by a stream. Following the Crusades in Europe a need was felt for a family
name. This was recognized by those of noble blood, who realized the prestige and practical
advantage it would add to their status. Early records of the name mention HUGO DE HOLTE,
1185 County Kent, SIMON DEL HOLT, 1230 Wales, WILLIAM DEL HOULT was listed in the
Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. WALTER atte HOLTE was documented in CountySomerset during the
reign of Edward III (1327-1377). The acquisition of surnames in Europe during the past 800 years
has been affected by many factors, including social class and social structure, naming practices in
neighboring cultures, and indigenous cultural tradition. On the whole, the richer and more powerful
classes tended to acquire surnames earlier than the working classes and the poor, while
surnames wer quicker to catch on in urban areas than in more sparsley populated rural areas.
These facts suggest that the origin of surnames is associated withthe emergence of
bureaucracies. As long as land tenure, military services, and lealty were were matters of direct
relationship between a lord and his vassals, the need did not arise for fixed distinguishing epithets
to mark our one carl from another. As societies became more complex, and such matters as the
management of tenure and in particular the collection of taxes were delegated to special
functionaries, it became imperative to have a more complex system of nomenclature to distinguish
one individual from another reliably and unambiguously.
