1Holland Family Records Compiled by Pat & James H. Holland, Provided to T.Mason in 1999. Web site: http://www.geocities.com/truley1932/holland.htm. "Thomas Holland, states in his Revolutionary War records that he was born on the east coast of Maryland, December 24 , 1759. And as a young child his parents moved first to Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, and he was living in Montgomery Co., Virginia when the Revolutionary War started. He was drafted to serve in the battle of Guildford Courthouse with the Virginia Troops under Capt. Jeremiah Pearce. He served with Captain Abraham Trigg's and was in the battle of Rugsley Mills and Shallow Ford on the Yadkin River. He served with Colonel Martin's Regiment from sometime in August 1781 and served with Captain Paris Company in 1783. He moved to Green County, North Carolina and served with Captain William Jobe in the first war against the Cherokee Indians.
After the Revolution he remained in Greene Co., North Carolina which later became Green Co., Tennessee. and later became Cocke Co., Tennessee. In the later part of 1783 Indians began to steal the cattle and horses of the few persons and families who had that year settled along the French Broad River. The Indians then retreated across the mountains into present Cherokee, North Carolina. It was all North Carolina then, and Maj Peter Fine and Captain John McNabb raised a company of about thirty men and pursued the Indians. In the company was the son of Maj Peter Fine, Vinet Fine. It was on their return trip to the French Broad from across the mountain, after they had succeeded in their mission and recovered the stolen animals, that while the troops were in camp for the night, the Indians attacked them by surprise killing Vinet Fine and wounding Thomas Holland and Mr. Bingham. After the departure of the Indians, who hung around the camp until morning, the white men broke a hole in the ice and put the body of Vinet Fine in the creek with intentions of returning later for the body. Before they could return the creek flooded and the body washed on down the creek. The wounded men were brought in safely and recovered from their wounds. It continued to be necessary for two years to keep scouts between Pigeon and French Broad during this time. Nehemiah and Simeon were killed, scalped and their guns taken also a boy ten years old named Nelson was killed. From that day to this, the stream in which Vinet Fine was buried beneath the ice has been known by the name of "Fines Creek" and the area as Fines Creek Township in Haywood County, North Carolina.
It is belived that Thomas Holland and Drucilla married in late 1785 or early 1786 probably in Washington or Green County North Carolina. It is felt that Drucilla's surname was Christian and was a daughter of Nathaniel Christian and Jane Ewing (have not been able to prove this). Thomas purchased and operated a ferry on the French Broad River in 1798 in the Del Rio area where he and his brother John settled and raised their family east of Newport about 8 miles. (This story is recorded in the book over the Misty Blue Hills, page 95. Thomas Holland was commissioned as Captain April 3, 1800 with the Cocke county Regiment of Militia, page 318 "Over the Misty Blue Hills." Thomas Holland was also appointed to assist David Stuart run the line between Cocke County and Green County in 1799. This is when Cocke County was established. He was paid one dollar a day to set stakes. Thomas Holland sold about 1200 acres of land to Swan Burnett in September of 1833 and moved to near Liberty in Clay County, Missouri to apply for a Land Grant for services rendered in the Revolutionary War. He died in early 1834 prior to receiving the Land Grant. He is probably buried about five miles west of Liberty Missouri in the old Holland Cemetery. He applied for a transfer of his pension at Liberty from Tennessee to Missouri in May 1834 .
On the 1840 Census record for Plattre County Missouri . there was a Drucilla Holland listed as being between 70 and 80 years of age, living in a separate household on Benjamin Holland land."2Charles H., David, James Holland & Hart Ralph Tambs, Golden Roots of the Mother Lode (Tuolumne County Genealogical Society; V17 N4/V18 N1&2 1997/1998), ISSN 8755-3023. "Jacob's father, Thomas HOLLAND, was born in Maryland 24 December 1759 and moved to Virginia with his family as a child. His wife was Mary BOYDSTON. He served in the Revolutionary War and the following Cherokee Wars while living in Virginia. He was drafted four times serving from one to three months each time. He was wounded, shot through the thigh in August 1883."
