AUSTIN, HOLLAND, MOORE -
I am researching the Holland Family in Southwest Virginia in the counties of Bedford,
Floyd, Franklin and Montgomery. My great grandfather was William Reily Holland b. about
1820, d. 14 September 1897 in Floyd County, Virginia. He married Mary Jane (Polly) Moore,
of Franklin County, VA on 27 December 1843. They had 13 children, 11 of which lived to maturity.
I am trying to determine the parents of William Reily Holland. The parents of Polly
Moore were John Moore and Annie Austin of Franklin County, VA. Thank you.

JETER, TURNER -
Lt. Henry JETER is my ancestor and I want to know more about him. My Gr Gr grandfather
James Monroe TURNER was his grandson through Lucy Carter JETER who married John H.
TURNER. I understand there is a monument in Bedford County comemorating his role in the
Revolutionary War. Is that correct? John H. TURNER died 11 Oct. 1864 in connection with
the War Between the States. Was he a civilian or a soldier?
