[Scott County]   [Lytle's Fork Precinct]

CHAS. HOLDCRAFT, farmer, P. O. Porter; is a native of Indiana, and the
son of Seely and Betsy (Steele) Holdcraft.  He was born Nov. 8, 1815.
His father was of Dutch descent, born in Pennsylvania in 1776 and died
in 1850.  He was a farmer and a miller.  His wife, our subject's mother,
was of Irish descent, born in Scott County, in 1791 and died in 1877. They
had five children--Charles, our subject, being the third child.  His early
education was very limited, yet at the present time his education is above
the average, having received it principally after doing a day's work in
the field.  He has spent his life at farming in his native county, with
the exception of four years, where he was in Ohio.  He was married in
Scott County, in 1842, to Miss Sallie Ann Parker, a native of Scott County,
born Jan. 11, 1820.  Her father, Samuel Parker, was born in Maryland, Dec.
17, 1792, and died in 1879.  Her mother Matilda (Boyce) Parker was born
in Philadelphia, April 7, 1798, and is now living in Illinois.  Mr.
Holdcraft is one of the best read men of his precinct, a man of excellent
memory, generous and benevolent; he is a true gentlemen, and enjoys the
confidence of the community in which he now lives.
