26 June 1908 - 23 November 1984

This page is a sub-section of Eli C. "Jack" Holland and his wife Nancy's second child, James Franklin Holland.  The complete line of his parents along with his siblings is located on Eli C. and Nancy Purvis' page.  

A note the Woodard D. Hollands in this family.  There are three generations of Woodard D. Holland, beginning with Elisha's son born in 1794.  Since we do not know what the D. stands for, we cannot assume that the second Woodard D. was a Junior, or that his son was the 3rd; their middle names could have all been different.  So, for the sake of referencing them in this family history, I am going to refer to the second-generation Woodard D. Holland, born in 1834, as Woodard D. 2, and to his son, born in 1868, as Woodard D. 3.  This is not to be taken as repeated names in subsequent generations which we would distinguish as Jr. and III, but merely as a convenience of reference.  

5.  James Franklin Holland was born 26 June 1908 in Bacon County, Georgia.  He died 23 November 1984 in Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida, and was buried in Edgewood Cemetery in Jacksonville.  

The section that follows on Frank Holland's descendants was furnished by his daughter Nancy Mae Holland Slagle of Bradenton, Florida.  Nancy also furnished photographs of the James Franklin Holland family and the Holland Cemetery in Appling County, Georgia, which can be seen in the Woodard section of the Photo Album. ⁴⁶
