Descendants of James HOLLAND (167?-1734)
Notes
1.
James HOLLAND
It is calculated that James Holland was born before 1680, because he had at least six children who were old enough to be named as heirs in his will in 1734. If those six children were all at least 21 years of age in 1734 (thus born by 1713), it is likely that James was at least 33 years of age by the time he had six children in 1713.
