I did put the census for the families in my tree a researcher from Newton County AR genealogy museum found me information like the wedding date for Wade & Mary Catherine and I ordered a copy (I was told it will probably be just a couple of lines but I figure proof is proof). Interesting thing was Slane and his family were nearby in the same township and she could not find anything on their marriage (did the just tell everybody that they were when they moved to MO?) Attaching that and another thing I was sent from a County Coordinator in Iowa from USGenweb

Dear Sandy;
It was good to visit with you by phone this morning in regards to the
family of Wade Hampton Holt and wife Catherine Schleicht.

I searched most all the books I thought might have W. H. Holt in it and
could not find him listed anywhere except on that 1860 census. This may
be the same W. H. Holt and Wife Catherine found on the 1870 Boone
County census in sugarloaf township. Boone borders Newton County on the northern boundary line.

1870 Boone County Arkansas, Sugar Loaf Township page 480 a.
84/84 Holt W. H. 31 TN
Catherine 28 AR
Mary 2 AR
Wade, William 15 Iowa
Coker, Malli?? 26 AR
Parks, Jonathan 8 AR


In looking at the 1870 Stone County Census I see that Daniel and
Catherine Slane (Sloan) are found on two separate pages 127A family #2
and 127 B. Family #24.

I found a marriage for Wade Hampton Holt and Catherine Schleicht in Polk
Co. Iowa 4 April 1853. If you could gain access to the original it
might give their ages and possible parents.

I could not find a marriage for Daniel and Catherine.

I did find a W. H. Holt age 22 born in TX in the family of Benjamin and
Charity Holt in 1850 Natchitoches, Natchitoches Parish LA on page 4 A
family #51.
(Just remember ...I have found a total so far of 4 Wade SR & JRs)
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If I can help further let me know.

George Reeves and Hampton Wade Holt
Old George Reeves, spoken of, improved the Everly or Macomber farm. He died in his wagon in 1853, at the place now known, as Sawyer's Grove, and was buried there, Eli Watson digging his grave. Reeves, Marshall, and one or two others are the only pioneers of whom their contemporaries, now alive, do not speak in kindness or respect. Some old settlers with whom we have conversed believe that Marshall and Reeves were both here as early as 1851, while others do not think they came so early. Reeves was from Warren county, Iowa. He broke the land which now comprises the farm of Wm. Hopley, and which lay idle several years after being broken.

Hampton Wade Holt, a Southerner, lived with Reeves, and remained in the county for a while after Reeves' death. Finally he went South again, and during the rebellion was killed in the rebel army. (Haven't found)

From "History of Cass County, Iowa Together With Brief Mention of Old Settlers," by Lafe Young, Atlantic, Iowa, Telegraph Steam Printing House, 1877, pg. 10.

(He was all over this area of IA during that period, the Cass Township, Cass County, is 40 miles from where I moved from AZ to IA to. SOON WILL GO LOOK UP FARM INFO)

IF ANYBODY FINDS ANYMORE ON THESE HINTS PLEASE LET ME KNOW....
