Notes

Belonged with his wife to the Bear Creek Baptist Church, with its meeting-house built on what was then called the Holeman road.) He continuously lived in the extreme northwestern corner of what is now Davie county, with Mocksville as county seat. The site of the house and the family burying-ground, went to David, and after decades of ownership outside the family, was purchased by Camilla Holmaln-Steelamn, granddaughter of Jacob Holeman and consequently great-grandaughter of Isaac Holeman, who dwells in what is now Davie County at the small crossroads town called Holman. The dead ancestors of long-ago have been restored to the keeping of their own kinsfolk. The parents of Isaac Holeman were buried to the southeast of the house, with small rocks outlining a square plot just large enough for the two graves, the spot being located many years afterward by "Frank and Mary", an aged colored couple, now deceased, who were slaves of Daniel Cain, one of the subsequent owners.

In relation to our particular line of Holman, it seems certain that the first immigrants to America were six brothers, Englishmen, who first settled in Virginia, and whose names were: Isaac, Thomas, James, William, Henry, and Richard. Of these brothers Isaac was the eldest, his birth date being about 1725, and his death occurring 1808. He was married to Mary, whose surname is unknown. Isaac Holman, as a young man, with two of his brothers, William and James, removed to North Carolina, where they established a Holman settlement. Each received land grants in Rowan County. Isaac lived in that part of Rowan which was cut off 1835-36 for Davie County, and some of his brothers located in the part later known as Surry and Wilkes Counties. Thomas and Henry finally removed to Kentucky. There is still in Davies County a place known as "Holman's Cross Roads", where many of the Holmans lived. They probably are buried nearby, but many of the old graves were not permanently marked.
