Date:  30 Jun 2005 Mark Harness has sent the following query: 
I am researching family of William A HOLLER born in NC about 1843, married to Margaret E. ?  born about 1844.  
They had 8 children: Calvin, Mahala, Solomon, John D., Nerva, Sarah J, Elisha, Vance. They were in the 1880 census
(Little River, Caldwell, NC). I am a descendant of Elisha. Various members of the family have been researching this
line for many years with no luck. Any information you can provide would be appreciated.


Date: 1 May 2005 Patick McGarry has sent the following query:

Our relative, Fannie HOFFMAN (1818-1907) married a Rev. George HOLLER (1817-1904) and lived in Jefferson Township, Montgomery County, Ohio. Had children. Would like to find out more.


Date: 17 Jun 2004 James Michael Trahern has sent the following query:

My father is James Wallace TRAHERN, son of Wallace Lee (Buster) Trahern, son of William Trahern,
all who were from Wisner, Louisiana. This is a very interesting site, and I hope it continues to develop.
I know many of my relatives who try so hard to trace our lineage ... and everyone gets so far, and resources
run dry. Hopefully one day it will be figured out.


Date: 8 Jun 2004 Dwayne Daniels has sent the following query:

Some of my forbears also came from Bicken, Germany in 1845 to Texas. They settled in New Braunfels, Texas
but the children were orphaned due to cholera epidemic and left New Braunfels and wound up in Hopkinsville
and Waelder in Gonzales county Texas. Our Steubing men also served in the civil war. The HOLLER and
STEUBING families are related. By the way in German you would not pronounce Holler as "Hahl-uhr" ...
it would be "Hole-uhr".


Date:  6 Jun 2004 Kelly Hays has sent the following query:

I am the great granddaughter of Hugh Baird HOLLER (born 20 Nov 1885 in Marquette Kansas).

Your information on Dr. Samuel Chase TRAHERN was quite enlightening. I have been very intrigued by his
generosity in donating land to the Holly Grove community (Franklin Parish - Wisner LA) for white and black
churches/cemeteries. As a descendant of many of the blacks interred in the black cemetery, I am truly
appreciative of his philanthropy. As you are a descendant of Dr. Trahern, please accept my deep appreciation.

Date: 23 Dec 2003 Michelle Lynn Holler

I was born and raised in Bridgeport, Ohio. My dad is Joseph Roger HOLLER and my Grandmother is Evelyn. My Grandpa was a twin named Bill (William) and his brother was George. There are other Hollers in the Tri-Valley area; I believe Jim Holler is my dad's cousin. There was a big dispute between the Holler family back when my grandfather and his twin brother were born
and the Holler family did not speak much after that ... something about baptizing the twins as Catholics came between the family. Anyway, I am 33 and have a sister Brigette and a brother Joseph. My dad has three sisters: Antoinette, Marie and Evelyn. I know my grandfather was of German descent, but that is about it. My Grandmother, Evelyn is French/Arabic and met my grandfather during the war, he brought her back to the United States from France.

I saw a note on the Holler-Net website regarding an interest in information on Granville HALLER, a Civil War officer and
Indian fighter. I am a historian/author here in York County PA.  Back in 1863 during the Gettysburg Campaign, Haller was a key figure in attempts to defend the towns of York and nearby Wrightsville from Jubal Early's Rebel division as well as cavalry.
I am writing a book entitled "Fire in the Sky: The Struggle for Wrightsville" which will be published late this year. Included will be
what information I have on Major Haller, as well as his tactics and their results. If any of you have any files, photos, diaries, letters, or the like concerning Granville Haller and specifically his service in the Gettysburg Campaign, please let me know ASAP.

My gggrandfather, Jacob HOLLER, arrived in Albany NY from Germany by 1850 when he's listed in the census with his wife and two children. In the 1900 census, he says he's been in the country 67 years, making his arrival in 1833, when he was 12. Martha Brian has a great website on our family, but I am wondering if anyone knows with whom a 12-year-old Jacob Holler came to the US? Also he married Margaret VENTER, and I would love to know about her background. Lots of Albany Venters, but which are her relatives?

My HOLLER family originally hailed from Darmstadt, Germany.  My ggggrandparents, Christian and Elizabeth HOLLER, came to America in 1822 with my gggrandfather, Philip HOLLER, who was 2 at the time.  They settled in Franklin County, Pennsylvania.  Philip HOLLER married my gggrandmother, Elizabeth OTT, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, about 1842.  Phillip and Elizabeth came by covered wagon with 3-4 other families to Knox County, Illinois in 1846.  It is not clear if Christian and Elizabeth also made the journey.  In 1847 Phillip and Elizabeth moved to Dimmick Township, LaSalle County, Illinois.  They had 10 children:  Martha, Samuel, Mary, Emma, Elizabeth, Frank, Hattie, Ella, Harmon, and George.  My ggrandfather, Frank, married Anna STEDMAN (daughter of John STEDMAN and Elizabeth WISE) 8 Mar 1883 in Peru, Illinois.  They had 4 children: Irvin, Hattie, Jessie, and Walter.  My grandfather, Irvin, married Jennie KOERNER (daughter of Ernest KOERNER and Dora CORK) on 15 Nov 1906 in Peru, Illinois.  They had 9 children:  Dorothy, Sidney, Vilas, Glen, Lois, Lyle, Lee, Virgil, and Virginia.  My father, Glen, married Evelyn CLOUGH (daughter of Arthur CLOUGH and Charlotte ASHTON) 7 Mar 1947 in Ohio, Illinois.

I am not related to any of the surnames I read through on your site ... my only connection is that my gggrandfather also served in the Civil War ... dying pre-seige in Vicksburg.  His name was Charles Robert MCNEILL ... Co. H, 42nd Alabama Infantry (Confederate).  He was born 1833 in Monroe County, Alabama.  He had written a letter from Columbus, Mississippi dated 21 Aug 1862 in which he stated that he was well ... only to die 24 February 1863.  Fisher Funeral Home records list him as C.K. McNaile.  He died at the City Hospital in Vicksburg ... I did not see an address in your 1860 Vicksburg directory for this
hospital. Perhaps it came into existence after the beginning of the war.

Hello out there! I was just helping my 9-year-old do a little research for a class project, and now I can't get away from this stuff! My grandfather, Henry HOLLER, raised 6 children in Hammond IN. He met his wife, Helen HOLYCROSS, on a trip from Danville IL to Chicago. (Grandma was from Danville, but I'm not sure if he was, too.) I haven't found any Lake County IN or Vermillion County IL Hollers on the Internet -- does anybody have any connections along those lines? I know there is a hard copy of some family trees that were done a few years ago. I'll try to get my hands on them so I can add to the collection!

Date: 21 Mar 2002 Kathy Maidic Hill

I have started some research on both sides of my family. My mother was Evelyn TRAHERN MAIDIC and her father was
James H. TRAHERN.

My grandfather was James Harrison Trahern b. 02-11-1896 and d. 09-09-1980. He was born in Indian Territory to Joseph Trahern and Armatha HOLBROOK. My grandfather stated he was born in a little place called Rosedale. He stated that his
father Joseph Trahern was Indian from Mississippi and Armatha was from Arkansas. Supposedly my greatgrandfather traveled the Trail of Tears. My mother Evelyn, was born to James Harrison Trahern and Jimmie Carol WIGGINTON. Any help would be appreciated.



Date: 4 Mar 2002 James Henry Hallar

My name is James Henry HALLAR, Son of Lawrence Richard HALLAR and Virginia Elaine KLUEG.
I know this sounds weird, however nobody in my family can trace the name Hallar past my paternal grandparents, James C. Hallar and Cleo LEEPER. I am 27 years old, and after a lifetime of questions to my father I finally have received some sort of straight answer on our family lineage after my grandmother's passing. In his defense she was a proper society lady who liked to keep the past in the past and the skeletons in the closet so to speak, thus making for a real puzzler to figure where the heck we came from. She was so secretive that my father only knows bits and pieces, and unfortunately anyone that could verify his speculations has since passed away.

What I was able to uncover was my Grandfather, James Hallar was married before he met my Grandmother, Cleo Kathryn Hallar and had 2 children with his previous wife, whom I still don't know too much about including her name. (obviously a shocker for the 1940s) What I do know is the children's names from the previous marriage, and that they both spent some time in California. I did a search on Ancestry to find some SSN death records. So here is the information as I have deciphered it.

James C Hallar (Grandfather) b. 12/12/1902 near Joplin, MO ... d. 12/1977 St. Louis Missouri.


Cleo (Moddie) Kathryn Hallar (Grandmother) b. 10/31/1909 Kansas City, Missouri ... d. 03/16/2000 St. Louis, Missouri.

They had one son together (Private Info ... Contact me personally by email).

And my Grandfather had 2 children in a previous marriage: James C Hallar b. 11/28/1928 (Unknown Location) ... d. 10/03/1996 Jackson City Missouri.

Clarice Hallar (may have been remarried ... no other info)

The other interesting things I've been able to uncover was a Hallar Community Building located in Holden, Missouri an area close to Joplin where my Grandfather was born. In my Father's dining room we have a dress sword that belonged to my grandfather's mother's father with the name J.C. RIGGS etched on the blade. However I'm not sure if the lineage on that sword is correct. And last but certainly not least the name Cephus Hallar (sp?) keeps popping up in stories from my father. The only reason I remember this name is because as a child I always thought it was a funny name. Anyway according to family lore or lack thereof Cephus was apparently a black sheep involved with the Confederate army.

Philip Holler and Margaret Ott Holler of Pennsylvania. They came to
Illinois mid-19th century with two other families, Pottingers and Niesleys.

I enjoyed touring your site. I was born in Vicksburg in 1938 and
remained there until I entered the Army in 1961. If I knew it I must
have forgotten that the arch was not always on Clay St. until it was
moved to its present location. The observation towers were in disrepair
for as long as I can remember. The one by All Saints was falling down
in the forties. However, I climbed the one by Fort Hill until 1957 when
I finished High School. There were there towers and I think we use to
climb another one but I can't remember where it was. They were not
closed except for the one and the public used them. Thanks for a great
tour of my old home town.

land in Ok. I noticed you had some YOUNGs
listed. I have bunches of lost Youngs, so of course it caught my
attention. My Youngs, Jesse and Sarah, lived in Perry County KY in
1870. They had five children. We feel like Sarah died giving chidbirth
near 1874. The complete family then disappeared. Some to AR, maybe to
MO or VA ... Jesse did reappear in Perry County KY in 1890 with a new
wife Rebecca ___? The mystery to our race (Cherokee and Black Dutch)
lies with my g-grandmother Sarah ____ Young. unknown last name, Their
five childrens names were Lilay (Tilda) Manuel. Icaac, William and
Elizabeth, who married my grandfather William INGLES
in Perry County KY in 1890. A little after 1900 they went to Indian
Nation in OK and on over to Madison County AR before ending up in Osage
and Pawnee County OK. Somewhere, there is someone who just has to
recognize these names. These were real people!

Sure enjoyed all your homepages and your family histories. One
of my related ancestors was also present during the siege. Henry W. JONES was a Private in Co. D, 28th Miss. Vol. Cavalry and died 7/5/1863 of
pneumonia at a Confederate hospital at Mechanicsburg and was buried at
a MOSELY Plantation near there. Wonder if
you know how I can find out more of this plantation. Hope to make a
vacation visit to Vicksburg in the near future. Again, I very greatly
enjoyed your sites and will return. Thank you. Reed Smith ... 3197

I'm surprised at the number of HOLLERs
South and West of PA. As a child we were the only Holler in the area,
meaning direct family. We just started researching our heritage and
only know our grandparents are from Germany and came here around 1900.
We're not sure if any of their relatives came earlier or even where
they might have landed (New York or Philadelphia). If anyone has any
relatives who came at this time or even before to PA I'd appreciate any
info.

Erst einmal liebe Grüße an alle HOLLERs in Amerika. Ich möchte einmal einen Gedanken loswerden, wer hat
sich schon einmal ernsthaft Gedanken über die Entstehung unseres Familiennamen`s "Holler" gemacht? Hier ein Hinweis: "In den Märchen der "Gebrüder Grimm" taucht die Geschichte der "Frau Holle" auf. Diese ist die alte germanische Unterweltsgöttin "Hel". Und diese Frau Holle hatte auch einen Begleiter, nämlich den Holler oder auch "Uller"." Mehr will ich hier nicht schreiben, sondern einfach nur zum nachdenken anregen. Liebe Grüße, Thomas Wilhelm Holler

visited the village from which my name is taken & also met other
Holzklau's still living in Germany. My girlfriend has now taken some
interest in her own family history. Her last name is spelled HOLLAR, although most of her cousins spell the
name HOLLER. I have made some contacts in
Germany and tried to answer a few of her questions. Where did the name
originate (I have heard the Palatine Region in Germany)? What does the
name mean (one contact told me that it meant inhabitant of the village
Halle, although he did not know where the village was located; I also
know that there is a Norse god named "Holler"). Do you have other
interesting facts? Are the names "Holler", "Hollar", and "Haller" the
same name?

is about a site where Italian immigrants may have been buried in
Vickburg in 1905. My Italian great grant parents imigrated from Zocca,
Italy with their two children to the MONDE
plantation six miles north of Vicksburg in 1905. Six months after their
arrival on the cotton plantation, my great grandparents, Aniceto and
Emelda DODI were dead of malaria, leaving
two orphaned teenagers. Those teenagers were my Grandma Della and her
older brother Sylvio. My uncle said his parents and other Italian
immigrants who died of malaria that year were buried in unmarked graves
in the woods of the plantation. Could that be true? Do you know? Or, is
there a cemetery in Vickburg where Italian immigrants were buried?

Bedford Co Pa. md Mary Ann HILL b. 291789 d. 431869 Bedford Co Pa. son
of George Henry HOLLAR mentioned above. Maryann HOLLER mentioned above
bc. 1814 d. 12221834 or 12221854 is buried next to her parents James
Mathias HOLLER Maryann HILL in Dry Ridge Cemetery Bedford Co. Pa. Her
name is shown as MARYANN WERTZ wife of HENRY.


Now
finally the question. WHO WAS THIS HENRY WERTZ We know of several Henry
WERTZs in the area but they are shown to have married other women. Did
Henry WERTZ REMARRY after Maryann HOLLER WERTZ died Were there any
CHILDREN from the HOLLERWERTZ marriage An entry in the Pa. Archives
shows that Maryann HOLLER married Henry WERTZ on 681845 both of
Harrison Twp. Bedford Co Pa. That info. would nullify the possible
death date mentioned above of 1834 making it probably the 1854 date.
The 1850 census shows that Maryann WERTZ age 36 was at the time either
visiting or living with her parents Mathias HOLLER Mary Ann HILL in
Harrison Twp. Bedford Co Pa. If that census is accurate ha she married
Henry WERTZ in 1845 at age 31. Age 31 was rather old for a first
marriage then was Maryann HOLLER MARRIED BEFORE she married Henry WERTZ
Was Henry WERTZ MARRIED PREVIOUSLY DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS
COUPLE POSSIBLE DESCENDENTS PRIOR OR AFTER MARRIAGES Henry WERTZ is not
buried in the same graveyard as Maryann HOLLER WERTZ. Does anyone know
WHERE HE WENT HIS BIRTHDEATH DATES or any other information?

As a writer much concerned with this mystical city's history, I found
your site and photographs a major delight as well as a priceless
resource. Most of the photgraphs in your collection were previously
unseen by me and enthralling. I am currently working on a 5-volume work
of historical fiction about the city from 1820 through the death of
Col. Flowerree ... and the perspective of your photos has allowed me to
order things in my mind which had previously been unclear. I was
wondering with faint hope and bated breath whether or not you know of
the existence of photos taken on the 900 block of Crawford Street after
the 1870s facing north away from the old Street Clinic, Stephensons HQ,
Sydney Building.When we first moved here we took the Upton Young House
and I have been unable to locate either drawings or photos of that area
from the time period mentioned above. If you could steer me in the
right direction to locate such, you would make several new friends for
life. My deepest thanks and warmest regards from my family and myself.

His father was Walter Ray Whitaker. His parents were Carl Whitaker and

and Lillian. Francis was born in North Carolina and moved with her
mother and sisters to Greenbrier County, West Virginia after the death
of her father. Carl and his brother Ted may have been born in North
Carolina. Carl was killed in a mining accident in the early 1940s.

Kentucky. There is supposed to be a tie to Andrew Jackson
through the Upthegroves. My great grandmother Elizabeth Jackson
Upthegrove was supposed to be his first or second cousin. The paperwork
related to this was destroyed in a fire 25 or 30 years ago. My aunt
found a book years ago that mentioned something to do with a wedding
Andrew Jackson and Upthegroves. She has since died and no one knows

When I came across your Holler family I thought maybe I should contact
you to see if you are connected to my HALLER
line from Berks County PA and on back to the Alsace-Lorraine in France.
The name has been spelled HALLER - HELLER - HOLLAR
through these records and I am not proud I accept them all. I noticed a
Jacob Haller in Fredericks County VA before 1800 and thought he
possibly was connected. My Hallers emigrated to Ohio. The line in this
country began with Heinrich Haller around 1750 was in Rev. War and
lived in Reading PA ... any connection?

Interesting page. We recently returned to Vicksburg and opened a BB

last major Vick home in Vicksburg. Love your old pictures. If you ever
come across 2430 Drummond Street let us know. We're slowly learning
about the home and the family that built it. In your Gibralter page
Vicksburg was not founded in 1811 - BURWELL -
VICK - FOSTER - COOK
came here in 1812 and negotiated for land -
and got a bunch. In 1814 they talked Newitt VICK
into coming. He negotiated with Andrew GLASS
of McRaven house for the 1180 acres that is the old downtown Vicksburg.
The Glass brothers held the original Spanish land grant - and were
highwaymen. Vicksburg voted against succession ... it would mess up
business ... and boy - did it! Be that as it may, I like your pages!

I am quite excited to see that the HOLLAR
family is involved in genealogical research. I have been doing a history
of our 1849 farmhouse near Iowa City IA for a number of years now and am
most interested in its first inhabitants Isom and Jane Hollar. Isom was
illiterate, signing by his mark in the courthouse records. Unfortunately
I must report that this couple's claim to fame is that around 1859-60
since the justice of the peace in Tiffin IA (a neighboring and very
small town) would not grant Jane a divorce, the sorely-tried wife
severed the knot matrimonial with an axe. Citation from the Johnson
County IA history 1882 I have been unable to pinpoint the date of the
murder nor to find out what happened to Jane and her children Cyrus,
Tabitha, Callista, Ann plus two others whose names escape me just now.
I have managed to trace the little family as far back as Tennessee
where records indicated not only people but cattle and slaves. There
are numbers of Hollars around Valle Crucis NC near Boone and some in or
near Davenport IA. Anything you can tell me about this family either
before or after the murder would be very welcome.

town when they were giving names, the person said who is that person
next to you. That is me chum. You just gave him his name Mecham. Just a
little bit about my family history. Now there are different ways of
pronouncing it and spelling it: Mecham (me-chum or me-cum) ... Meacham
... Mechum. Again I enjoyed your pages and will visit often.

I can't wait for the Gaines, Taylor, Pendleton and Pegram pages! I am
related to Edmund PENDLETON ... Zachary TAYLOR ... and the GAINES
bunch. I have some information if you are interested in comparing notes.
My husband's mother was a PEGRAM from
Virginia. Small world huh?

Well, I wrote to Joanne Atay about her book. Much to my surprise she
sent me one! It came in the mail today and I was able to add two (2)
generations to my ancestors. You can remove my query. Thanks to you and
the HOLLER Net I got my information in
record time!

Hi Richard! Just couldn't resist the temptation to stop on by after
visiting your MSGenWeb page also just in memory of the Mighty Muddy!

In the year that Gus Holler was born {1836} my ggggrandfather was born
in Crawfordsville, Indiana. I have largely unsuccessfully tried to use
the internet as a way to find out more about my family history. I would
be willing to participate in any way you need assistance! Timothy M.

I did get on the web and got your HOLLERS of VICKSBURG. Very
impressive. It came through great, pictures and all!

I'm really impressed with you web page!!! Looks like you've been very
busy. Just curious what software you are using to organize your family
info. I used Family Roots for about 2 years. It is a great DOS program
and easy to import and export data from other major programs. I also
have Family Tree Maker (Windows). I like Family Roots better, just
trust it more I guess. Let me know if I can help with your research
here in Vicksburg!

Your page is great! You must have spent a lot of time on it, though I
am sure it was a labor of love. I really enjoyed looking at it. My PEGRAM is William Gene b. 1818 in NC. I can't
tie him into those NC Pegrams, but have communicated with Nola Duffy
oylpatch%40oyl.patch%2Enet who thinks still waiting to hear from her.
Here are the surnames we have in common: CARROLL,
DUNCAN (NC), HARRIS, LEWIS (NC), PEGRAM (NC), PITTS, POTTS and SMITH
.
But, I didn't see any matches. :-(

RE: Holler Home Page. I think that your goal is interesting and
practical. I would however like to see you put your efforts into the
Roots-L index or some other source that is already going. I think that
you will find the HALLER name quite
common in Germany. Your Holler might be as common in the northern part
where it might be spelled your way.

Hi Richard! Thanks for the compliment, but actually, I don't do this
for a living. What should be obvious from my web page is that I "live"
at the computer and have a huge obsession for finding genealogy sites
and plunking them down into nice neat categories! :-) I have added a
link to your site under Hotlists and Personal Home Pages. Be sure to
let me know if you do decide to devote a page specifically to the
Holler surname and I will add it under the Surnames section. Are you
sure that the picture on the top of your page is really your family?
That picture sure looks like a few we have in our collection! ;-) Cyndi's List.

Holy Cow! When I saw the E-Mail message concerning the BANARD family (Lynn's people spell it funny)
with your name on it, I thought I had somehow married into your group!!
I almost had a divorce lawyer hired before I read your message!

Ok, alright already -- I'm impressed! Saw BUCHANAN
on the surnames list, but no BUCKINGHAM --
guess we're not related!
