| Notes |
Mary Jane Hathcoat the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Hathcoat and Anna Berthena Roberts. Was born 12.20.1845 in TN. She came to Lawrence County AR 1855 with her family.
She married Jess C Hale 10.29. 1867 Lawrence County AR I have no record of what happed to this marriage children ? divorce ? death. ?. Mary Jane married William Thomas Holder 2.29. 1872 Mary Jane and Thomas moved to Boone county AR where her Father and Mother had moved to. Mary Jane died 1875 when her son William Carson Holder was born. Mary Jane is buried at the New Hope cemetery Boone County AR with her family. William Thomas Holder married Judah Tennessee L Roberts the cousin of Mary Jane. I was told that William Carson Holder later moved to Springfield MO. married had 3 children divorced remarried and started his 2nd family and that he was in trouble a lot was some kind of a salesman would get drunk and sale his samples his father William Thomas Holder would pack his bag take the train and go to where Carson was get him out of trouble. When William Thomas Holder would come back he would would not talk about where he had been or what was wrong he would go into the bed room and talk to his wife Judah they could hear her crying. She loved Carson and did not wont him to be in jail. The woman who wrote all this to me said she had never saw her Uncle Carson and was told that he had moved to South America.
NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY. at the 2005 Smith- Roberts 3 new cousins showed up and told us that Carson had rented a horse and buggy got drunk and lost the horse and buggy was sent to the pen. But he escaped as he was walking down a road he saw a mail box with the name Stewart on it so he took his first name and his father's name and the name Stewart off the mail box and he became WILLIAM THOMAS STEWART. went to Southern Arkansas remarried for the 3rd time had a family of 3 children. Before he died he told his children all about his life his name was Holder his mother was Mary Jane Hathcoat and that his stepmother was the cousin of Mary Jane, and that he had gone back to Harrison Arkansas to see his cousin Marvin Hathcoat who was a lawyer and that Marvin Hathcoat, who did not like him, but had helped him get a pardon from MO, since he was kin. Carson's Grandson told me that the family did not believe all this story that was told by Carson but the Grandson after he retired started thanking about what was told to him and started checking and found out that Carson was telling the truth. So came to the Reunion at Harrison Arkansas this year 2005. (W.Gene Hathcoat, July 2005) 461 |
