I am searching for information on James Marion Holder born abt 1860 James married Sarah Wilson about 1882 in Shelby County, TN. Lana

Was james born in MO?

do you have any other information? children? their dates of birth?

when James died? or sarah?

do you have any other info?

On the 1880 census for Shelby County I found a James Holder, (he is working on a farm in Shelby County, TN and I didn't find any other Holder families in the area) that lists his place of birth as Missouri, however his children list place of birth as South Carolina or Kentucky. James Holder was dead or gone by the 1900 census as his wife Sarah was living by herself with her children who were:

Mary Jane Holder born 1884 Shelby County, TN died 1951 Shelby County, TN

James Lanson Holder born 1896 Shelby County, TN died 1973 Memphis, TN

Finley Earnest Holder born 1900 died unknown

Sarah Wilson Holder by 1910 married a man with the last name Tilson.

Sarah Wilson Holder was born April 1862 in TN died 1933 in Shelby County, TN.

That is all I have on them I wish I could find more this is my mother-in-laws family and she has passed away so I can't find out any more from her.If you have any thing on this family I would be happy to hear from you, Thank you, Lana

There is a Sallie Holder that married a D.S. Tilson Feb. 1903 It is witnessed by a J.W. Tilson. The record states Holden, but if you look at the image it shows Mrs. Sallie Holder's signature.
The marriage record for Jim Holder and Sarah Wilson is also listed. Sarah's (Tilson) death certificate is listed and shows her husband as Dick.

There is a death certificate image for a James Holder and his death his 1926 and list him as an artist. So this must not be your James M. Holder but could be a relative.

A James L. Holder died 1-16-73 age 76. There's no image for his death certificate but you can request it.

There are other records I didn't get to check. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help, I believe I have James L Holder's death certificate but I can't find it at the moment I probably miss filed it. I have searched in vain for James Marion Holder. I don't think the James that died in 1926 is him. Are you related? Thank you again, Lana

No. I just live in Shelby Co. and help when I can.
