Candace Holland's line is followed in this section.  She was Elisha Holland's 16th child:

16. Candace D. Holland, sixteenth and next-to-last child of Elisha Holland and Patience Peacock, was born 12 April 1825, in North Carolina.  She married William W. Peacock 19 March 1885.  He was born 19 March 1822.  They moved to Coffee County, Alabama.  Candace died 19 January 1907 and was buried in the Wellborn cemetery in Coffee County, Alabama.  William W. Peacock died 27 May 1885 and was buried with his wife in the Wellborn cemetery.  There is another grave marker for him at Rhodes Church near Kinston, Coffee County, Alabama, which reads, "W. W. age 63, 27 may 1885."⁷⁰  Nellie H. Russell wrote that many of this family were living in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1963.

Candace Holland and William Peacock had the following children: 

1.  Jincy Peacock was born 14 January 1845, died 14 October 1879.  She married 14 March 1885 Newton Eyghts (pronounced Yates).  Their children moved to Florida.
(Note:  M. K. D. Holland writes, "As the information on this family, as contained in the genealogy filed by Miss Russell, was a carbon copy and did not photostat very good and as I have not been able to return to the archives to recheck this, it might not be entirely as she had it but have done the best I could."  There is an obvious error in the data on Jincy Peacock above, since M. K. D. Holland has her marrying after her death.  Although the marriage date of 1885 has Jincy not getting married until age 40, the two birth dates of her children do follow soon after.  So a logical guess would have to be that the error is in the death date of 1879.  
Children of Jincy Peacock and Newton Eyghts:

1.  James B. Eyghts, born 16 June 1886

2.  Seth Eyghts, born 28 August 1889

2.  Joseph Brantley Peacock was born 22 August 1849.  He married 20 September 1879 Malinda Caroline Alberson.  Caroline, a widower, had previously been married to a ship captain named Rutan and had two children by him.  They lived in Walton County, Florida, where she met Joseph.  Caroline and Joseph moved to Elba, Coffee County, Alabama.
