Andreas Holl was my 5 times Ggrandfather. Andreas was perhaps born in Germany, possibly from Liebsthal, Kusel, Rheinland-Pfalz. He arrived in the United States in 1838,through Philadelphia and I believe he settled in Pennsylvania. He married Catharina Lehman in Pennsylvania. It is possible they had 12 children: Barbara, Johann, Peter, Catherine, Nicholas, Abraham, Anna, John, Andreas (my 4th Ggrandfather), Jacob, Elisabeth and Eva. By the 1790s, Andreas and his family were living in Frederick, Maryland. Andreas (Andrew) was a patriot in the American Revolution. All of his descendants are eligible for Membership in DAR or SAR. Hopefully, one day his gravesite will be given a marker to denote he served his country in the American Revolution.
Here is some biographical information for Andrew Sr. kindly sent to me by another Findagrave member and descendant of Andreas Holl, Christos Christou, Jr.:
MIGRATION: He arrived on September 11, 1738 in Philadelphia on the ship "Robert and Alice". In 1750 he was overseer of Monocacy Road from Big Pipe Creek to the temporary MD-PA line. He was naturalized on April 4 1762 and his name was spelled Hoole.
