Hi Edwin,
You may already have a copy of this
but I thought I'd send it
just in
case. Titus' will. Due to a preponderous of evidence
I claim to be
a fifth
ggrandson of Titus by his son James who married Catherine
Cann whose
issue
was James who needed a new suit of clothes, whose son
was James
Washington
Hollinger, born abt 1826 in Cherokee Nation, Georgia.
James
Washington
migrated to Saline County, Arkansas (now Grant County)
abt late
1840's and
purchased land there and married. One of his sons
was James Isaac,
whose
son was Floyd Archie Leonard Hollinger, my grandfather
and my mom's
name
was Della Charline Hollinger, who passed away in 1992.
James, the
son of
James Hollinger and Catherine Cann, was enumerated on
the 1820
census of
Ga. in Hall county and in the 1830 census in Gwinette Cty.
People
that
lived in Indian territory that was adjacent to some Ga counties
were
enumerated as if living in those counties. He is also
on a list
compiled by
an Indian agent of White men living in Cherokee lands.
The problem
this
presents genealogically is that few records exist. I
can't find out
who
this James was married to, whether she was Indian or
white. His
son's
(James Washington's) military record says that he was
of dark
complexion.
Unfortunately, living in Indian territory and being
white his
records
wouldn't be listed as Indian or under records of a resident
of the
United
States. Due to the will of Titus, James,
the husband of Catherine
Cann
must have died previous to the will date. The only evidence
I have
of his
link to the James of Cherokee Nation are submissions that
a Ralph
Hullinger
made to the Mormon IGI in the 1970's. I've tried to
contact him to
no avail
with the address on the submissions. It appears he lived
in Utah. I
have
seen numerous records concerning William, who was married
to Sarah
Brack
and his son William, who was married to Rachel Hester.
I have some
family
group sheets on William Sr. and William Jr. if you don't
already
have them
and are interested. Which line are you descended from?

you get it.
I
don't have much but will be happy to share what I have.

These are also stamped Arizona at the top, I believe this
is the location
of the temple where the endowments/baptisms took place
Does this direct you to other documents or books that might have
source
information? My records are very sketchy on my Hollingers
that lived in
Indian Territory and I would love to find out where Harold/Owen/Henry
got
this information. I also have a census record 1860 Saline
Cty, Arkansas
with John Hollinger, age 30. This is most likely the brother
of my James
Washington on the previous page, both of Cherokee Nation,
Ga. One of
his
daughters name was Chana and there is also a female in the household
as
well
as John's wife Nancy named Chana Echols/Nichols??? age 56.
Does this ring
anyones bell. I can't quite make out John's son's name,
however, it
says
he was born in Alabama in 1951. What's this connection between
Georgia
and
Alabama, people showing up back and forth in both states at
different
times? Any help appreciated.
