• Notes

  Came to America in 1710 -------------------- Was admitted to the Bethlehem congregation of the Moravian Church in February 1748 -------------------- John Holder's obituary states that he had six sons and six daughters. We suspect that the missing daughter is probably a child who died young, but for completeness we would like to identify her also. The brothers Joseph, George and Charles Holder all came to North Carolina and settled in the area of present-day Winston-Salem. George came in 1754, and made his home in the village of Bethabara, although he was one of the men who helped to build the new town of Salem. Charles arrived in 1766, and was one of the first residents of Salem. He was the saddle-maker. Joseph arrived with his family in 1767, in company with Paul Christian Stauber and a person named in the Records of the Moravians in NC [1:361] as Andreas Volz. We believe that this was actually Andreas Volck (1722-1790), Joseph Holder's uncle. Joseph Holder did not join the Moravian congregation himself, but several of his children did.

Daniels is however correct in her statement that a genealogy in LDS files claiming a Massachusetts origin for the NC Holders is false. Overall, the manuscript should not be considered as a reliable source for the Holder families in North Carolina.
