Re: Holt McClarney

I've had a hard time putting the family groups together on this line.I have a Holt (b. 26 Jun 1804 NC, Caswell, Hillsboro) with siblings listed as Robert, Armstead, Mary, Denesha, and Sarah; all children of Henry McClarney and Sarah Holt (m. 16 Jan 1794).I descend from Holt's daughter Mary Choctaw McClarney (b. 22 Nov 1846 OK, d. 1939 MO) and her husband John G. Simpson (b. 1 Sep 1840 MO d. 16 Mar 1903 MO).

I've not been able to verify all of the following, but I have Holt's first wife as Mary Tyree b. 16 Jan 1813 VA (several Tyree researchers believe this is an error as they show that Mary married to someone else at this time).Possibly we've got the wrong Mary Tyree.Their children:Robert, Henry, Shadrick, John/Jim, Jak, and Mary Choctaw.

2nd wife:Elizabeth Endicott, children:Viretta Carolyn, McElroy (Pat), Nunley, and Martha

3rd wife:Elizabeth Calhoun, child:Liz

If anyone can shed some light on these groupings, I'd sure appreciate it.
