Sarah Jane (Sallie) Gregory 4, (29 April 1850-24 October 1915), Alfred and Sarah’s ninth child, was born in Mississippi and died in Lipan Area, Hood or Erath County, Texas. She married Joseph Mitchell Holder in 1866, the son of Mitchell Holder and Nancy Francis. Sarah Jane had red hair, brown eyes and could dance the jig well past middle age. She was buried in 1915 in the Bishop Cemetery, near Lipan, off FM 1189, Erath County, TX. leaves no record.
Sally and J.M. Holder had eleven children: Alfred Mitchell; Charles Benjamin; Clemmie Ophelia; an infant (16 July 1876-1876); Susan Alma; Joseph Alexander; William A.; Allen J.; Robert Lee; Nathan Bernie; Jess Thomas.
The Holder family lied on their homestead south of Lipan, just across the county line in Erath County, Texas. They had a Lipan mailing address, and the family is an important part of the legacy of Lipan.
Joseph Mitchell Holder was born on 9 August 1838, and grew up in Franklin County, Tennessee. His mother, Nancy W. Francis was from Virginia. Nancy served as an apprentice tailor before she married Mitchell on September 6, 1934. It is said that Nancy was a great and patient woman who loved the mountains of Tennessee. She always kept her door open so she could see the mountains. Even after she was up in years, she insisted that her bed be put between the doors so she could see the mountains. The cabin built for her still stands on the Holder farm near Winchester, TN. His father, Mitchell Holder, was the son of Joseph Holder, Sr. who served in the War of 1812, and of Nancy Freeman. Joseph Mitchell Holder was the third of 8 children, he had 5 brothers and 2 sisters: Andrew, Sarah, Nancy, William, Daniel, Benjamin and Nathaniel. Three of the children have been confirmed as serving in the CSA Confederacy alonf with countless other cousins and uncles. Joseph Mitchell Holder enlisted in the Confederacy April 29, 1861 in Peter Turney’s First Tennessee Regiment at Cowan Station, TN. Company I was formed at Winchester for a period of twelve months from men in Coffee County. It was enrolled in April 1861 and joined the Regiment shortly thereafter and mustered into Confederate service at Lynchburg, VA on May 1861. Its nickname was ‘The Tullahoma Guards’ or ‘Cowan Guards’. Another nickname was said to be ‘Jo Lane Company’.
The original organization was: Captain Joseph Holder; (Joseph Mitchell Holder’s Uncle Joe that he speaks of in the following letter.) 1rst Lt. James W. Jackson; 2nd Lt. Enoch G. Stewart; (related) 3rd Lt. Henry J. Hawkins; 1st Sgt. Daniel Crawford Keith; 2nd Sgt Charles Hofman; 3rd Sgt Eadward A. Jackson; 4th Sgt Absolom F. Williams; (related) 1est Cpl. Joseph M. Hawkins; 2nd Cpl. George W. Bowers; 3rd Cpl. Joseph M. Holder; 4th Cpl. Francis M. Bowers.
After the war, Joseph Mitchel Holder went to Mississippi and met Sally Jane Gregory, who was born in Mississippi. Alfred W. Gregory, Sally’s father, was a preacher, some say a farmer, others say he was wll to do. The one thing that most agree upon is that Sally never saw her family again after she left Mississippi.
After they were married in 1866, Joseph and Sally lived in Itawamba County, MS for ten years. In 1867, J.M. became a Master Mason in Mooreville, MS. J.M.’s sister, Sarah Holder had married Benjamin E. Harrison in 1859 and his brother, William Wallace Holder, had married Louisa Emily Williams in 1867. It is thought that the 3 couples went to Texas in 1877 at the same time, all of them staying in the Big Valley of Parker County, TX. Ben and Sarah settled in Dennis, TX and William and Louisa settled in Parker County near Weatherford.
In 1878, J.M. and Sally moved to Kickapoo Creek in Erath County, TX. Joseph and Sally had 13 children who either settled in the Lipan, Hood County, Texas area, or close by in Erath County, Palo Pinto County, or Parker County. Their son, Robert Lee Holder lived in Palo Pinto County until his extreme old age when he and Cora, his wife, moved into Lipan proper. Their youngest son, Jess Holder and his wife also lived in Lipan in their old age. One daughter-in- law, Una Holder, lived to be 100 years old. There are still many descendants in the area today.
Joseph signed a will on March 5, 1902, and Robert Lee Holder exected the will. He wished his property divided among the youngest children and for them to pay the oldest four, the sum of $100.00 apiece. He wished for the remaining belongings to be divided equally among his children and that his wife be able to live on the homeplace for her remaining years.
Joseph died September 1, 1914, and was buried in Bishop Cemetery near Lipan. Sally died October 24, 1915 and is also buried in Bishop Cemetery, next to her husband. The original family members, J.M., Sally, and their children are buried either in Bishop Cemetery or Hightower Cemetery in Erath County, TX.
The following letter was written by Joseph Mitchell Holder and was published in the Dallas News Semi-Weekly, dated July 16, 1913:
I am an old Confederate soldier and have come to tell you all some of my experience in life. I enlisted in the First Tennessee Regiment. It was commanded by Pete Turney, best known by the soldiers as ‘Old Pete’. I was in Company I, my captain was my uncle Joe Holder. We enlisted at Cowan Station and left Winchester on the 1st of May 1861 for Lynchburg, Virginia. We were kept there several weeks before we drew arms. Our first guns were improved muskets. Our first brigade commanders were Gen. Bell and Gen. Archer, Stonewall Jackson’s Division, Lee’s Corp.
I was in many hot places, Bull Run (second battle of Manassas), Fredericksville, and Chancellorsville. At the time my health began to fail and I was assigned to Richmond to help defend the city against raids. It would take a big book to tell my ups and downs. At one time I was nine weeks without a change of clothing, as I had put my other clothes on my brother, who ws shot in the arm at Manassas. Being in bad health, I got leave of absence and was at home at the time of surrender.
After the surrender I made a trip to Mississippi where I married Miss Sallie Gregory. She was the daughter of Alfred Gregory. I was then 30 years old. This was in 1866, and we lived in Itawamba County until 1877, when we came to Texas and rented land in Big Valley, Parker County and from there we moved to Erath County on Kickapoo Creek where I bought a home. Then hard times began sure enough. My horses died and for three years I worked oxen. I had to clear my land, as there was not a foot of land under cultivation. We built a little log house without floors. Then my wife took sick and lay at deaths door for 40 days. But the neighbors were kind and helped us in many ways. We were about 9 years paying for the homestead.
After that I bought 337 acres and settled two of my children on part of it. We had some hard times and lived most of the time on bread and butter and milk. I had to use much economy to keep from being involved in debt. Four of our married children live on the home place, and the rest near by. I lost one son after he was grown and four died in infancy. I feel like my many hard trials are numbered in the past.
I am 78 years old and on account of bad health my life is still full of worry. I haven’t seen a well day since my exposure to the war. I came near losing my eyes soon after the war and was away from home four months, under the care of an acculist at Union City, Tennessee. My afflictions have kept me in hard circumstances. In 1867 at Mooreville, Mississippi, I was made a Master Mason. I have nine brothers-in-law, all Master Masons.
My mother is still living. She lives in the old home in Franklin County, Tennessee. Her youngest son cares for her. If she lived until September, she will be 95 years old. She has three children living, and four dead. She has 29 grandchildren, 111 great grandchildren alive.
We are having some hot weather now and if the drought continues, I beleive the Government will have to give aid. It hasn’t rained since April.
I am fond of reading all lettersm especially those of the old veterans. Have read with interest the letters on the coming campaign, and will say with all good feelings that I am a natural born Anti and hope my country will always have liberty and freedom for which I have helped fight. I have the greatest respect for law and order, and think we should not pass laws that can not be at least partly enforced.
If any of the old boys see this I would be glad to hear from them. With best wishes to the good old news and all its readers, I will close by letter.

Hugh and Nancy moved to that portion of Itawamba County which became Lee County between October 1845 and March 1847. This information is also derived from the 1850 census, which lists the birthplace of their son, Hilliard, as South Carolina, and the birthplace of their son, Starks T., as Mississippi.
