Gender Male Died Oct 17, 1870 Tyler county, Texas, USA Notes - He served in Co. F of Spaights Battalion.
On February 22, 1851, Robert S. bought 1,476 acres of land at public auction, located on Sandy Creek. One parcel of this land was later sold to Hardin County and may have been the land on which the first County Courthouse was built. Robert served in the Civil War, where he contracted an illness from which he never did fully recover. This illness, according to his children, is what killed him in 1870. One interesting note, Robert's son, Andrew Jackson Holland, became addicted to Laudanum after a doctor prescribed it for his broken leg. It changed him enough to where his wife, upon advice from the family, took their children away to live in Washington State.
