CENSUS: 1900 Clay Co., Tennessee census, page 294 B. The writing is confused and the names of the children were studied and given as best as could decipher them. The child, Erwin, was originally read by me as, Edwin. It is very hard to make out on the microfilm page.
CENSUS: 1910 Clay Co., Census, William's family was listed as himself, age 65, and Linda, age 52, and Auber (or Huber), age 18. At this time he said he and Linda had been married 33 years; they had had five children, with only four surviving the 1910 census date. All were born in Tennessee.
Census: Thought I found his family in the 1880 Clay Co., TN census. However, his wife stated that her parents were both from Kentucky. I know that her parents were from Virginia.
PARENT-QUESTION: Pixy-Lynn reflects: Because of the differences in the reading of the will for William Overstreet Jr., I still do not believe that Mary Liza is the daughter of William Jr. I believe that she was his daughter-in-law and the daughter of William and Elizabeth Chilton of Kentucky. The Sevier family members who have read the will have put a different interpretation to the wording of the will...They say that she was William Jr.'s daughter who married William Chilton. Even though the wording of the will states that she is his daughter, the wording and context of the statement led me to believe that he stated as such because of his love and affection toward his daughter-in-law. I invite those who wish to read the will to read the document with that in mind.
RESEARCH: pg. 124 of 1880 Clay Co., TN census book has a listing for a William Chilton with a wife whose name is spelled an E.. This may be this family, Liza being a nickname for Elizabeth.
SOURCE-RESEARCH-QUESTION: The IGI has him as a child of Absalom B. Holman and Joanna Overstreet. Court papers of the 1850s do not list him as an heir of Joanna Overstreet Holman's. Also, Joanna did not marry his father until 1835. Therefore, he had to have been a child of one of Absalom Jr.'s earlier marriages, possibly to Catherine Overstreet, Joanna's cousin. Some speculate that this Absalom's father was married a number of times, more than 5 or 6, but not much has been proven to this date. So, as far as the research indicates, this Absalom B. Holman's mother was Catherine Overstreet.
