Person talk:Henry Holland (7)

Legitimacy of Thomas Holland [28 September 2011]

Note from Tammy Hensel: Adding Thomas Holland to page. The majority of historical,peerage and royal family sources list Anne Holland as the only child of Henry Holland, Duke of Exter and Lady Anne of York.

Three sources list Thomas Holland as a legitimate son of Henry and Anne. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Holland,_3rd_Duke_of_Exeter Pedigree http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp Person sheet http://web.me.com/janmobley/ps01/ps01_127.html

A Holland genealogy at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/l/i/e/Sara-and-robert-Liester/FILE/0002text.txt lists Thomas as an illegitimate son, mother unknown. It also lists another illegitimate son, William.

Another genealogy at http://www.maltagenealogy.com/Britishnobility/Dukes/Holland.htm lists Thomas as illegitimate and also an illegitimate son Robert.

The genealogy of Gabriel Holland lists his ancestor Thomas Holland as illegitimate son of Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~knower/gabrielstem.htm However, Wiley Julian Holland says their is no evidence that Thomas Holland was a son of Henry Holland or that Gabriel Holland, ancestor of the American Holland branch, is a descendant. http://www.hollandfamily.us/ResourceCenter/gabriel/gabriel-wjh.htm
