From Col. John Gabriel Holland, USA, ret --

Hannah Holland was born about 1712 the daughter of John Holland ca 1674 and his wife Prudence Parker ca 1670 of Nansemond Co VA. John Holland operated a grist mill on Somerton Creek in Nansemond County. That site can be reached from Holy Neck Christian Church by traveling south and west on Pine View until one comes to the narrow bridge which crosses Somerton (Saranaton) Creek. The Mill sat on the left side. Just beyond is a three story frame house constructed ca. 1800. Behind the house there is an enclosed cemetery containing the remains of a number of Afro-Americans named Parker. These are recent internments dating to the late nineteenth century. It is said that when John Holland married Prudence Parker the grist mill was part of her dowry. as this site is quite near Pittmantown Rd and the Gates Co., NC line one might speculate upon the genesis of that particular Parker line… e-mail from Gabe Holland 27 Feb 2004 – As you no doubt are aware, Nansemond Co., VA (now City of Suffolk) suffered three catastrophic fires which resulted in the loss of almost all of the official records. This John Holland (my 4th great-granduncle) was first found in Bodie, then in Kirk Davis Holland’s book “Holland’s: To Those Who Care, published in 1961, also mentioned in Cavaliers & Pioneers. In 1964 a rather large accumulation of original documents came into my possession from the estate of my maternal grandfather John Goodman Holland (2 Jul 1845 – 9 Mar 1922) of the Holy Neck Dist. of Nansemond Co., Va. Among those papers were 5 which dealt with, and were originated by John Holland who operated a grist mill on Somerton Creek between 1700 and 1712 (1712 being the last recorded date on an account sheet from the mill). John’s wife Prudence was named and the Mill was referenced as “Parker’s Mill.” That mill site was located in 1966 and a bit of rather un-professional digging took place which unearthed a number of coins which dated to the period mentioned above. Kirk Davis Holland, prior to his death, in correspondence with my father “felt” that Hannah, the only known offspring of John & Prudence became the wife of Thomas Parker of Bertie. NO documentation has been found, to date, which would “prove” this marriage, and thus, in the several publications which have appeared above my name in the intervening years, no mention of this “possible” link has been mentioned. The Holland family of Nansemond and the Parkers of Nansemond and Gates Co., NC have maintained links up to the present day. Unfortunately, no record (within either family) has been discovered which would shed more light on this couple and their daughter Hannah. I decided to transmit this data to you in hopes that it might lead to work I am no longer able to carry out. Col. John Gabriel Holland, USA, ret
