8. Elisha Holland was born about 1804. He died 22 November 1901 on his homestead at age 96. It is said that he was buried alone on his property. His gravesite is located near the intersection of North Carolina state roads 1333 and 1337 on the west side of North Carolina Highway 581, referred to here as the Elisha Holland II Cemetery. Buried with him are Edward O. Snipes and his wife Betty E., and Forest and Doris Snipes Mitchell. No other Holland graves are there; I guess that is what is meant by his being buried alone.

Elisha married 1st Elizabeth (Betsey) Holland on 26 March 1822 in Johnston County, North Carolina. Bondsmen were Enos Holland, Geo. Mitchell, and R. Sanders. Elisha is listed in the 1840, 1850 and 1860 censuses of Wayne County, North Carolina.¹⁰⁰ Elisha married 2 times after Betsey's death, first to Zilphia Pate on 28 November 1863 in Wayne County; and then to Polly M. Hocutt on 24 August 1881 in Johnston County. There is a picture in the Album section of Elisha with his third wife Polly. All children are by the first marriage.
Children of Elisha Holland (b. 1805) and Elizabeth Holland:

1. Curtis (or Charles) Holland was born around 1820 or 1821 in North Carolina. In the 1850 Wayne County census, he was 27; in the 1860 census he was 40 and a cooper by profession. He is listed with Charlotte age 22, his wife, Avy Ann 3, Wiley 2, Elisha T. 7 months, and Sarah Holland 80. This seems to be the Charles Holland who served and died in the Civil War in 1863. He was deceased when his son Matthew applied for a marriage license in 1882; Charlotte was living in Johnston County. His military record is in the Public Records section of this web site.
Children of Curtis Holland and Charlotte:

1. Avy Ann Holland was born about 1857, in North Carolina.

2. Wiley Holland, a female, was born about 1858, in North Carolina.

3. Elisha T. Holland was born about 1859, in North Carolina.

4. Matthew Holland was born about 1860, presumably in Wayne of Johnston County, North Carolina. He was living in Johnston County when he applied for a marriage license on 30 January 1882. He married Vanie Pender on 1 February 1882, in Wayne County. She was 18 years old, the daughter of John Pender and Anne; both parents were living in Wayne County. The marriage was performed by Thomas Holland, minister and probably his uncle. The marriage took place at Elder E. Holland's, who was probably Mathew's grandfather Elisha Holland and Curtis and Thomas Holland's father.

2. John Holland was born about 1822 or 1823 in Wayne County, North Carolina. He married Serena Jane Howell. She was born 10 (or 18) July 1820, died 10 July 1889, and was buried in the Jinnett Caswell Holland Cemetery in Wayne County, North Carolina. There is a picture of her grave in the Album section of this web site. John married 2nd Mary Jane [last-name-unknown], called "Fannie." She was born in 1870.¹⁰⁰

This family was listed in the 1850 census for Wayne County. John was age 27, Jane age 32, Elisha age 6, Elizabeth age 3, and William age 1. In the 1860 and 1870 censuses in Wayne County, John was listed as 37 and a cooper; and 49 and a farm laborer, respectively.
Children of John Holland and Serena Jane:

1. Elisha Holland was born about 1844. He appeared in the 1850 census with his parents, at age 6. He was also listed with them in 1860 and 1870.

2. Elizabeth Holland was born about 1847. She appeared in the 1850 census with her parents, at age 3. She was not listed with them in 1860.

3. William B. Holland was born about 1849. He appeared on the census with his family in 1850, 1860, and 1870.

4. Ollen Holland was born 12 October 1851. He married 1st, Pherby Bunn, about 1874, in Wayne County, North Carolina, when he was about 22 years old. Pherby Bunn was a daughter of James Bunn and his wife Martha, born in January 1855. This family was living in Pikeville, North Carolina, at the time the 1860 census was taken. James Bunn was 29 years old and a cooper by trade. His wife Martha was also 29; children Mary A. Bunn was 10, John H. Bunn was 6, Pherby Bunn was 5, Joseph S. Bunn was 4, and James H. Bunn was 3. Ollen Holland was also living in Pikeville at the time of the 1860 census. It was his first appearance on a census; he was 7 years old and living with his parents John Holland and Jane Howell, along with brothers Elisha, 17 and Willima B., 11.¹⁸²

The Ollen Holland family appears on the 1900 census in Wayne County, North Carolina, recorded by a census-taker who, it appears, may have been hard of hearing or at least had difficulty spelling. Ollen was 'Oland,' Pherby was 'Harley.' Living with them were son Ben, age 17; daughter Pasishie, 11; Henrietta, age 10; and Lornier, a son, age 7. The family was living in Fremont, district 108. Pherby must have died soon after the census was taken, because Ollen married Mary Nixon on 8 October 1901, when he was about 46 years old. They were married in Wilson County, North Carolina. It was a second marriage for her, also; she was previously married to an Allen.

In 1910, Ollen Holland's wife was listed in the census as Mary J. This was Mary J. Nixon, born in Greene County, North Carolina on 27 August 1853, the daughter of Theodore Nixon and his wife Polly [last name unknown], who were also born in Greene County. The Ollen Holland family was living in Buck Swamp Township district of Wayne County at that time. ¹³² Mary J. Nixon died 6 May 1930, in Wilson, North Carolina.

5. Several children died young

Nellie Holland Russell commented: Elisha is an interesting member of the Holland family. All the family insisted he was at least 105 years old when he died. He was no doubt older than 96. Since Elisha was his father's last child by his first wife, and Elisha the father married his second wife Patience Peacock in 1806, Elisha must have been born about 1804 or earlier. He grew a third set of teeth, or so he claimed, and when anyone expressed doubt, he suggested the doubter put his or her finger in his mouth and feel the new molars and then bit them, as he said, "good and hard." In his later years he became a freelance preacher and built a meeting house on his farm, but when the weather permitted he preached out doors. He was buried alone on property he owned.

This is the end of Elisha's branch. His father Elisha's children continue with Warren Holland.

About this History

My father's people came from Wayne County, North Carolina. Although I live in Alabama now, I inherited his love of our heritage. So it is with love for him and admiration for his strong desire to preserve our history that I dedicate my part in compiling and maintaining this Holland Family History and Tree to my father,
