Anthony Holland

Anthony Holland

• Gender: Male
• Birth: before March 30, 1641 Virginia or Great Britain
• Death: before August 02, 1703 Herring Creek, Anne Arundel, Maryland, United States
• Immediate Family: Husband of Unknown Holland and Isabella Elizabeth (Parsons) Holland Father of John Holland; Elizabeth (Holland) Gott; Benjamin Holland; Anthony Holland; Thomas Holland and 5 others

Some researchers have placed Anthony Holland as the son of Gabriel Holland and Mary Pinke without providing any sources. Until sources are provided these parents have been removed.

He is likely the Anthony Holland mentioned in a patent record of 1650 as being transported into the Maryland colony by William Burgess. He may also be the Anthony Holland of Anne Arundel County listed as owing service by 1672 in another patent record. A land record dated 10 MAY 1677 proves he was living in Anne Arundel county by that date when he purchased a 128 acre tract of land from Robert Goldsborough.

Children

No record of any marriages have been found. His will seems to indicate that he had two wives because he mentions a silk gown that belonged to his late wife. His first wife must be the mother of his four oldest sons: John, Benjamin, Anthony & Thomas, because Isabella Parsons was not old enought to be their mother. The two oldest were working their own plantations in 1703 so were likely born well before 1683. The younger six children are all grouped together in the will and are probably the children of Isabel Parsons. The will is odd because it never mentions his wife or gives her a share of his estate, which would make one think she is deceased. However, it appears that Isabell married her neighbor Benjamin Capell as her second husband and Capell mentions his rights to a portion of Anthony Holland's estate. This would be the third allowed to the wife by Maryland law. The children of Anthony are:

• John Holland b. about 1678
• Benjamin Holland b. about 1680
• Anthony Holland b. about 1682
• Thomas Holland b. about 1684
• Elizabeth Holland b. about 1685 married Richard Gott
• Richard Holland b.1 MAR 1687
• Jacob Holland b. 2 MAY 1690
• Capell Holland b. 10 JUN 1692
• Susannah Holland b. 24 APR 1694
• Abraham Holland b. 13 JUN 1698

Abstract of Will

Anthony wrote out his detailed will on the 12th of February 1702/03. Since he signed with his mark, he apparently couldn't write. The will gives so much information about his lifestyle, it seems appropriate to provide a detailed abstract.

Here as doth belong unto me the said Anthony Holland 316 acres of land in 4 tracts lying in the swamp called Herring Creek Swamp, one tract 120 acres which I purchased of Robt.

Anthony Holland will-

Anthony Holland (1641 - 1702)

Anthony Holland came into Ann Arundel County in 1650 and his transport was claimed by William Burgess, who was one of the movers and shakers of the early times and had brought a number of Quakers up from Virginia, which is apparently where Anthony Holland and Richard Gott(1) lived before Maryland. Burgess had a number of ships and it is possible Anthony Holland may have been a worker on one of them or he may have been a younger, perhaps orphaned member of the Quaker group who came from Virginia but did not pay his way. (From Rebecca Garret Patterson)

Anthony Holland made his will on February 12, 1702, and it was proved on August 2, 1703. He died a wealthy man with a personal estate amounting to 290.5.3 (pounds), plus 996 acres of land including 580 entailed acres of "Holland's Choice", lying in Baltimore County.(Per Allnutt, from "Wills, 1703, 11/362-267, Maryland State Archives,Testamentary Papers, 1719, Box 25, folder 30.

Richard Gott of Baltimore County, Richard Holland of Prince George's County and Jacob Holland petitioned the General Assembly on June 21,1747, to have the entail docked on "Holland's Choice". Although Anthony Holland had stated in his will the "Holland's Choice" lay in Baltimore County, the Act of Assembly cutting the entail stated it was in Anne Arundel County. Jacob Holland owned 360 Acres of it and"being through misfortunes reduced to the necessity of selling...and conveying an estate in fee simple" prayed to be free of the entail (Archives of Maryland, XLVI pp290-291 and pp 326-328)

According to Dallam's "St. James Parish" pp 131-132, Anthony Holland left in servitude one particular servant, Katherin Worley with her mulatto child, conceived out of wedlock, whose punishment of servitude was sold to Holland by the minister and Vestry of St. James' Parish on April 25, 1699.

According to the Allnutt essay, William Burgess had transported Anthony Holland into the Province in 1650. Anthony served an indentureship of four to seven years to person (s) unknown and on 14 December 1672 claimed 50 acres of land for his time of service as was the custom. In forty two years of life in Anne Arundel County, Anthony Holland had prospered well. (see Maryland Patent Liber - here after cited as MPL - Q/32.

Anthony Holland, a Puritan, probably became a Quaker, though not a nearly one, perhaps being converted following George Fox's 1672 visits to the county. He appointed his "well beloved friends" (all Quakers) Benajmin Capell, Mordecai Price, William Richardson and Samuel Galloway, "executors of his will to "doe take upon the full Execution of this My Last Will and Testament and take under their care and Management my Youngest children and their Estates" (Of the four executors, Benjamin Capell was the closest relative. Capell had wed the widow of Thomas Parsons, Isabella (?) Parsons and thus was Anthony Holland's step Father-in-Law and step grandfather of the six children by Anthony's second wife, Isabel (Parsons) Holland. Capell had no children of his own and both Richard Gott and Anthony Holland named sons after him, i.e. Capell Gott and Capell Holland. Capell duly noted his namesakes in his will (see wills, 10 May 1711, 13/333-336, MSA).

Anthony Holland, Herring Creek, Anne Arundel County, February 12, 1702 will written-August 2,1703 will proved according to Baldwin's" Maryland Calendar of Wills". Testator has 4 tracts lying in Herring Creek Swamp obtained as follows: 120 a "Goldsborough" purchased from Robt. Goldsborough, May 10, 1677; 50 a. of "Great Nec", given to testator's deed, wife Isabell by will of her father Thomas Parsons; 120 a. "Holland's Range" purchased from Geo.

Anthony Holland transported 1650 Anne Arundel County, service by 1672. The Holland/Adair website is an excellent source of information on Anthony and his descendants. I will just add a few items. In November of 1678 Anthony was reimbursed 80 pounds of tobacco for his assistance in funding the expedition against the Nanticoke Indians. On March 27, 1679, Anthony served on a jury in Anne Arundel County to determine the disposition of property in a contested case. In September 1681, Francis was again reimbursed 80 pounds of tobacco for services rendered the County. He served as a co-executor of his Father-in-law, Thomas Parson’s will dated October 11, 1683, and probated May 31, 1684. "HOLLAND FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER"
