Notes

Daniel Holeman, born 1686-1700, most likely originated in the Holeman/Holman family of Kent County, Maryland (who may have settled there from New York or New Jersey). He appears to have married his first wife, by the name of Rachel or Elizabeth Johnson (whose family had many interactions with the Holemans in Kent County) prior to leaving Kent County and moving southwestward to the Virginia frontier. He was living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia as early as 1737, when he married a (presumed) second wife. He settled on Jost Hite's tract (see Hite's profile overview and related links).

About Daniel Holeman

Daniel appeared in the virgin Shenandoah valley in 1745, settling in the southeastern portion of the present Shenandoah County on what is still known as Holman's creek, but designated more specifically in old maps as "Daniel Holeman's Creek. The original Frederick county and the original Augusta county, both cut off from Orange county about the same time, the former in 1743, the latter in 1745-adjoined each other; so that the place where this intrepid frontiersman helped to start a settlement was then in Frederick County, As Shenandoah County was not separated from it until 1778, or eight years after his death. Its location bears significant relation alike to the first and second Isaac Johnson of VA but particularly the latter, who, afterward in NC married into the Holeman family, because they dwelt just over the dividing line between the original counties in that part of Augusta County converted, also in 1778, into Rockingham County, only five miles away from Daniel Holeman. This contact of the two original counties accounts, as was common with early chronicles, not only for the partial duplication of Daniel Holeman's transactions on the irrespective records, but for the land-grant books at Richmond, the state capital, referring to his property as in August county, giving precisely the same description as was employed when subsequent transfers were entered on the records of Frederick County, and even after it passed to his descendants, on the records of the severed Shenandoah County. His plantation was situated Northwest of the site of Newmarket, where Cedar Hill is yet known as Cedar Grove, and extended beyond the site of Quicksburg, near which village Holman's Creek empties into the river.

It is quite evident that many of the early settlers were here years before they secured legal titles, as is shown in a grant to George Brock in 1749. In the premises of this grant it is stated that the tract conveyed is the same on which his father formerly lived. Again Thomas Moore acted with Daniel Holeman as a pilot in the survey for the second grant to Mary Hill, widow, in 1757......" "It is safe to say, however that Daniel Holeman was among the first white settlers. He lived on the farm owned by the late Nathaniel Funkhouser, one mile north of Quicksburg. Holman Creek, that bears his name, was known as such prior to 1750, as shown in a grant to Peter Gartner (the Myers farm near Forestville). This grant also shows that Thomas Holman and Archibald Ruddle had already received their grants."

Excerpt of research report of professional genealogist John Frederick Dorman, 1965 as published on http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gkbopp/genealogy/HOLEMAN/Holeman_Dor...:

HOLEMAN-HOLMAN-HOLDMAN

Shenandoah County, Virginia

Several members of the Holeman family settled in Augusta County, Virginia, before 1750. On 11 February 1745/6 Daniel Holdman and Samuel Wilkins were directed by the County Court to be overseers of the road from Benjamin Allen's mill to North River.1

[Curator Pam Wilson inserts, from Lyman Chalkley's Chronicles: on 18 Sept 1746, Daniel Holdman was one of eight jurors selected in Augusta County.]

On 2 August 1750 Daniel Holeman was granted three tracts of land [Curator PW: An important question is by whom or what authority? The answer is important, since this area was contested between the Hite settlements and Lord Fairfax during this period.]:

• Grant to Daniel Holeman of Augusta County of 395 acres on the north river of Shannondoah ... west side of Cedar Hill ... land surveyed for John Ruddle junr. ... to the river side ... land of Doctr. Henry Naffe ...2
• Grant to Daniel Holeman of Augusta County of 420 acres on the west side of the North river of Shannondoah ... bank of the said river and at the lower end of the said Holeman's plantation ... Jacob Holeman's line ...3
• Grant to Daniel Holeman of Augusta of 130 acres on the North river of Shannondoah ... near the North River side ... line of said Holeman's other survey ... to the river side ...4

Previous to this, Jacob Holeman and Thomas Holeman had received grants on 3 February 1749/50:

• Grant to Jacob Holeman of Augusta County of 420 acres on Holeman's Creek where he had begun a settlement ... south east side of a branch of Holeman's Creek ... head of a valley ... foot of a hill ...5
• Grant to Thomas Holeman of Augusta County of 428 acres, a tract where he lives on the south fork of Holeman's Creek ... corner to George Brook ... Peter Gortner's survey ... Mary Hill's line ... Ruddle's line ...6

As early as 1742 an And[rew?] Holman served in the militia company of Capt. James Gill and Lieut. John Dobbin.7 The Court orders of 28 November 1753 mention William Holeman8 and he is referred to in 1755 as processioner of land in the vicinity of Buffaloe Creek.9 John Holdman was one of the appraisers of the estate of Martin Kaufman on 16 June 1749[10] and Samuel Holdman witnessed the will of Peter Cotner on 25 December 1752.11 Within a year after he received it, Thomas Holeman sold his land grant to Robert Stapleton.12 No records have been found to show the relationship between these several Holemans or to show what became of any of them except Daniel and Jacob, or perhaps only Daniel since there is no evidence to show that the Jacob who was granted land in 1750 is identical with the Jacob Holeman mentioned in later records.

Although the land grants described the residence of Daniel Holeman as Augusta County, his land actually was within the borders of Frederick County. On 21 September 1763 the records of Augusta County describe him as a witness from Frederick County in a suit.13

Daniel Holeman died in the latter part of 1770:

6 November 1770. On the motion of Jacob Holdman Certificate is granted him for obtaining letters of administration of the estate of Daniel Holdman decd ...

  Ordered that Joseph Allen, Robert Oneal, Henry Gore and George Riddle ... appraise in current money the slaves (if any) and personal estate of Daniel Holdman ...14

The inventory of the estate was made on 27 December 1770 by Henry Gore, Joseph Allen and George Ruddle and showed a valuation of £434.15.4, including twelve slaves valued at £390.15

Daniel Holeman left a widow Elizabeth who was listed as a taxpayer in Shenandoah County in 1782 and again in 1791:

1782. Elizabeth Holdman

         3 tithes [slaves]

         1 horse

         7 cattle

1791. Elizabeth Holdman

         1 slave over age 16

         1 horse16

On 23 September 1791 she conveyed her dower rights in land to Andrew Holeman:

Elizabeth Holeman widow and relict of Daniel Holeman, deceased, to Andrew Holeman of Shenandoah County. For £50 current money.

  My dower or thirds of two tracts adjoining the lands of Francis Neff, John Neff, Abraham Neff, Jacob Neff, Henry Houser, Lewis Rinchart, Jacob Steagle [?] and the land of '''Daniel Holeman Junior''''''s heirs containing 550 acres

                                                          Elizabeth (V) Holeman

  Witnesses: Wm. Cathey Junr., Jacob Stiegle, John Young 3rd.

  27 April 1792. Proved by the witnesses.17 

Since Daniel Holeman died intestate, there is no record stating that Jacob Holeman was his son. Jacob inherited Daniel's land and would therefore appear to be his son, but under colonial law he could have inherited as brother and heir at law. The records tend to indicate that Jacob was much younger than Daniel, however, and it is more reasonable to believe that they were father and son.

------------------------------------

Jerry Radke at http://nose4bs.com/FL_Holman_%20Maryland.htm:

Randy Holman Schmidt has raised the possibility that two of the sons of Robert Holeman (Daniel b. 1689 and Thomas b. 1686) of New Jersey are in fact "Old Daniel" Holman and his brother Thomas Holman of Shenandoah, Virginia. They first relocated to Kent County, Maryland and then to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Daniel and Thomas Holeman of Virginia lived opposite one another on Holman's Creek. (See Wine Book, Life Along Holman's Creek.) One of them (probably Thomas) had a son named Thomas Holman, born in 1723, and he is the one who migrated to Wilkes County, North Carolina.

I have not located any documentation to show that the Daniel Holman of the Shenandoah Valley actually lived in Maryland. However, I believe that he was "associated" with John Van Meter of the Monocacy Valley in Maryland.

I do not believe that it is a coincidence that Jost Hite and the Van Meter brothers received their Virginia land grants at the same time. The two families were closely associated with each other. Jost Hite had wealth and political connections. The Van Meter brothers were very familiar with the lands near the North and South Branches of the Shenandoah River and the South Branch of the Potomac River.

I believe that Daniel Holman was one of the "settlers" on the John Van Meter grant in Virginia and when Hite acquired the Van Meter grants he also acquired the Van Meter settlers.

The Holman family connection to the Van Meter family may have started in New Jersey and continued in Maryland.

What we know is that Daniel Homan's family immigrated to Kent County Maryland. Relocated to Orange County, Maryland and then onto Frederick County MD to Shenandoah Valley (Augusta), VA.

He had two sons; Thomas (?-1708) and Isaac Holman Sr. (circa 1725-after Aug. 15, 1807). It is thought that Isaac Sr. was born in NC.

Daniel's son, Isaac Holman Sr. was married to Mary Hardy (no information), circa 1748. Isaac was a Revolution War veteran.

The above is from Edith Lyle Prier's book.=
