Hello Conrad,

No metion of Holsonback/Holsomback/Holsonbake in "Greenwood County
Sketches;" however there are two, not too informative mentions in
Pauline Young's "Abstracts of Old Ninety-Six and Abbeville District
Wills and Bonds."  You probably already have these, but just in case you
don't, here goes.

CUMMINS, ROBERT--BOX 17, PACK 346.
 Will dated Dec. 7, 1818 in Abbeville Dist.  Proved Feb. 10, 1824.
Exrs: Hugh Moriah, Esq., Saml. Watt.  Wit: Andrew Hamilton, Jno Finley.
Wife, Mary M. Gr.  Chn: Alexr. Martin Cummins, Salley Williams Cummins,
Jenny Robison Cummins, Polly Ann Eliza Cummins.  Sett. Made Jan. 9
1838.  Isaac HOLSONBACK married Polly Cummins.  Jenny Sally Cummins
died.  (p. 54)

A "Wm. HOLSONBACK" is listed among the witnesses to the Jan. 2, 1847
Will of George Palmer (Box 120, Pack 3538) in Abbeville District.  This
entry ends with the disconnected statement:  "Owned land on Buffalow
Creek," which  I assume refers to land owned by George Palmer.  (pgs.
480-481)

Strange though they seem to me, maybe you'll found a place for these
enigmatic tidbits in the puzzle you're piecing together.
