WYATT  HOLT FAMILY TREE

of

 Greene County, Tennessee

Wyatt Holt was my Gr-Gr-Gr-Grandfather and for a time was my most elusive ancestor.  But as the years passed, more about him and his family began to unfold, to my delight. The purpose for creating this site continues to be for  sharing this family history ...and, to learn more about Wyatt from others. No photograph of him seems to exist.

He first married in 1800.  Unfortunately, his Wife's name has not been discovered, nor the name of her father.   Twelve children came of  their union.   She died in 1823-24.    If you know of her, 'please' Email me at the address below. She was my Gr-Gr-Gr-Grandmother.  Wyatt married about three and a half years later and their family is included in this site also.

Wyatt has been connected to over 10 other  Holt  families unknown to his descendants in this last century. This miracle was accomplished by Wyatt's gr-gr-gr-Grandson, who joined the FamilyTreeDNA  project ... bringing to light not only our kinship to the other Holt families, but unveiling a few names of our oldest-known Kinfolk in the 1600's.  See the 'Index' at the bottom of next page for LINK to the DNA page.   For all connections, Click the highlighted 'New Data' LINK below.

"Genealogy is the science of family descent" per Webster. More specifically  it  is an 'Exact Science',  for only our exact ancestors are part of our family tree. Adding any name to our 'tree' means we need 'good evidence' if we do not have proof. Therefore, as theories come and go, corrections are necessary now and then.  For a good understanding of tracing a family history, I believe our Cousin Richard Holt explains it the best: " Genealogy research is not like writing a book.  There  is  no beginning, middle and end.  A chapter ends with beginning of the next and the task is never ending.   You  will  never  know everything about all the lines in a family.  It just isn't possible Something new and often  unexpected will  always be popping up!   If you don't realize this is a never ending task ... yet one you deal with by knowing it is such...then your eagerness will wane eventually, because you will keep expecting to reach an end that will never come."

This site is mainly Text, altho there are also photos of the land area where in 1815 Wyatt Holt owned property in North Carolina.  Along with proven information, some theories are included  and  are  used  to  closely examine possibilities.   If exploring small tidbits of information about Wyatt Holt whets your research-appetite,  this  site will  include a  few that you might enjoy investigating.  Also, informative data is included from state and county records always available for public use.

Cousins...feel free to add data here to your private family records noting the following Restrictions Of Use pertaining to this work.

If you have more information about Wyatt Holt,  I hope you will share it with me, Jean Holt. Or ... if you have proof to correct any data here,  I  encourage  you  to  let me know. (Any errors found are not intentional.) Check back now and then for New Data that may be added.

Many thanks to William Coveduck who helped me create this site.  I was looking for help and he generously responded. Due to his technical expertise and kind nature,  this avenue to share  the history of  Wyatt Holt  was  a dream that became a reality.   My sincere thanks and heartfelt appreciation to you, William.
