What is the reference of Elizabeth's birth in KY? There is a 1790 census of George Flanagan and Thomas Holden in Laurens Co., SC. Elizabeth and Thomas Holden, Jr. were living in Amite Co., MS in 1806. There is a record of a William Flannagan as a witness for Thomas Holden, Sr. to land purchase. Thomas and Elizabeth removed to Natchitoches Parish, LA around 1840 with their son, Charles. Charles eventually removed his family to north central states...I think Iowa? Idaho? I'll have to see if I can find that record.
