"HENRY CLAY HOLT, farmer, of Bordley Precinct, is the son of Harrison Holt. He was born in Union County December 17, 1828, and received a very limited training on account of weak eyes. He has been married twice; first, to Martha Butler, of Union County, in 1854; and next Mrs. Virginia (Pierce) Harman, in 1872.
Mrs. Holt is the daughter of William and A. (Bradley) Harman. The sketch of J. T. Harman in the Boxville Chapter, describes her parentage. She was born in Virginia in 1838, and her parents shortly afterward removed to Union County, so she is essentially a Union County lady.
Mr. Holt's children are as follows: Susan Elizabeth married Samuel Smith, a farmer of Bordley, and has five children liv. ing and one dead; William Harrison, a farmer of Boxville Precinct, married Martha Arnold, and has two children; Joseph Edwin married Fannie Martin, a farmer of Bordley Precinct, and has two children; Robert Henry is living with William H., and Peter Campbell is dead. The children at home are Thomas Alvin, John Butler, Luke Allen and Louisa Alice.
Mr. Holt has three pieces of land, containing respectively twenty-five, one hundred, and thirty-five acres each. Some seventy-five or eighty acres are in cultivation, and all are under Mr. Holt's personal management; his dwelling, a weatherboarded log house, was commenced in 1858, and has been improved from time to time until it is a neat and comfortable home. It stands upon a bluft knoll near the Bordley and Commercial Point road, and commands a good view of the surrounding country. In politics he is a Democrat; in religion, a Methodist, having belonged to that church for fourteen years. He has always lived in Union County, and makes a quiet, solid and valuable citizen."
