HOLLAND,, JACKSON RECORD Copyright 1959 by Pearl Davis McCall Published in Texas, United States of America DEDICATION To the Hollands and Jacksons of today, with the hope and prayer that they may live up to the best of their forbears. FOREWORD This is factual history of our Hollands and Jacksons since the American War for Independence. Records have been established by the General Services Ad­ ministration, the United States census rolls, county court house documents and historical sections of Texas libraries. Blank pages have been placed after each part of the book so that additional material may be entered. Hundreds of family members, scattered from the New England states to California, have sent in their data and urged that they be preserved in permanent form. Grateful acknowledgment is made to every relative and friend who supplied information and inspiration, and above all, deep appreciation is expressed toward our im­ mediate family whose encouragement and active assistance have enabled us to compile and publish this record.

Thereafter, the first numeral will indicate the generation fol­ lowing him. Generation 2 will carry only the numeral 2 and the initials of the person. Generation 3 will carry the generation number, the initials of the person, and will be followed by the order of the children in the family, if the order is known to us. These third genera­ tion members are grandchildren of the Revolutionary War an­ cestor and their initials will be retained throughout their family record. Generation 4 will be designated by Roman numerals as group heads. Generation 5 will be designated by digits as family heads and all persons belonging will be listed before the introduction of a new Generation 3. Names of towns and counties are in Texas unless followed by name of state or country. Asterisks (*) in Part III indicate a certain line with the B. F. Jackson family. THOMAS HOLLAND-R. S. Thomas Holland served in the American Revolution from Virginia. From the National Archives and Service Records, Washington 25, D. C., we learn: "Thomas Holland, private, en­ listed the 4th of September 1777 for three years in Capt. David Arrell's Company, 3d and 4th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Thomas Marshall." From Nov. 1777 to Feb. 1778 he was listed as, "Orderly at Gen'! Hospital." In Feb. 1778 the Company Muster Roll was dated Valley Forge and Pvt. Holland was listed as sick. He was back at work in May at Valley Forge with the 3d and 7th Regiments led by Lieut. Col. William Heth. The company was designated at vari­ ous times as Capt. Reuben Briscoe's or as Capt. John Tebb's Company. This company was listed as being at Priamus, at White Plains, and in Sept. 1778 at Newark on a Week Command. This was followed by Pompton and Middle Brook with Col. William Heth and Capt. Robert Powell, commanding officers. Pvt. Thomas Holland drew pay at six and two-thirds dollars each month. In March 1779 he was On Furlough, and from May to De­ cember he was rated as Wagoner at Smith's Clove with Col. John Neville, leading the Third Virginia Regiment with loca­ tions at Rampaugh and Havrestraw. Book Mark: 410, 200. From Public Service Claims, Commissioner's Book IV, Req. C5427, Virginia State Library, at Richmond, we have: "Decem­ ber 22, I 783, allowed by the Court of Nansemond County, Vir­ ginia, pay for supplies furnished to the Cont. Line-Thomas Holland for beef furnished in July '81, Pounds 2-ll-6 Virginia money." 17 Holland In the Georgia Land Lottery of 1827 Thomas Holland drew two tracts of land for Revolutionary War Service (Knight's Ros­ ter of Rev. War. Sol. in Georgia, page 356). Thomas Holland resided at that date in Eley's District of Greene County, Ga. He drew: Lot 22 District 21 Section 3, Troup County, Ga. Lot 235 District 21 Section 2, Muscogee County, Ga. These draws in the new part of Georgia went to men who served from other states. In the 1827 Land Lottery Reprint by Houston, pages 5 and 30, we find the records just cited with the notation, "Thomas Holland, R. S." Certification was made by the Surveyor-General's Dept., 1516 Peachtree Street, Atlanta 9, Ga., under date of 25 May 1957, signed by Alexander M. Hitz and authorized by the Secretary of State, Ben \V. Fortson, Jr. Records in the Department of State Office, Atlanta, show that the first draw was for 202½ acres in the original county of Troup granted to Thomas Holland, R. S., on 12 Nov. 1827, registered in Grant Book for Troup 1-2, page 39. Plat of the sur­ vey is found in Survey Book GGGG, page 55. The second draw was for 202½ acres in original Muscogee County, granted to Thomas Holland, R. S., on 16 Feb. 1829, registered in Grant Book for Muscogee 21-22 page 141. Survey Book NNNN, p. 163, 1827 Lottery. Thomas Holland married Phoebe Rickman and their first children were born in Virginia. N ansemond County was claimed as their home and he was so listed in the earliest census. About the year 1790-91 the Thomas Holland family was set­ tled in Greenf' County, Ga. He was a tax payer in Wilkes County in 1792. The 1820 census listed Thomas Holland as owner of 20 slaves. However, late in 1820 and early 1821 he deeded Negroes to several of his children (Greene County Record Books GGG, pages 369-410). We copy one of the deeds in full: HOLLAND TO HOLLAND DEEDS Know all men by these presents that I, Thomas Holland, of the State of Georgia and the County of Greene, do give and deliver unto my son, John Holland, of the state aforesaid and 18 Holland the county of Putnam, a certain negro woman named Diner, free from me and the rest of my heirs, administrators, execu­ tors and assigns to him, his heirs, assign forever in fee simple as I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this the first day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand, eight hundred and twenty.

William Hammond, Samuel H. Nelms, and John Holland witnessed these various deeds. 19 Holland Some family members list a daughter, Rebecca, who married Eidson, and another child, the twelfth, said to have died young. The ten listed above as recipients of the deeds cited comprise the list known to us and these we include in the forthcoming records. Being uncertain of the order of these children, we omit the numeral following their generation number and their initials. GENERATION I. Thomas Holland married Phoebe Rickman before 1779.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

    John Platt (1842-1902), a Late Victorian Extra-Illustrator, and His Collection

    J. M. W. Turner and his World: John Platt (1842-1902), a Late Victorian Extra-illustrator, and his Collection Felicity Myrone 1. Introduction In August 2007 the British Library Press Office was able to announce the ‘discovery’ of a ‘missing Constable sketch’.1 This had come to light by chance during cataloguing a few months earlier in an extra-illustrated copy of George Walter Thornbury’s The Life of J. M. W. Turner: Founded on letters and papers furnished by his friends and fellow academicians (London: Hurst and Blackett, 1862). The Constable is just one of over 1,600 additions to Thornbury’s text, collected and inserted by a businessman and justice of the peace from Warrington, John Platt (1842-1902). This essay will briefly examine the collection, its collector and his library. Extra-illustration was a popular activity from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth century. It involves the embellishing of an existing text with complementary illustrations and documents.2 Thornbury’s biography of Turner is an excellent choice for extra- illustration, as a large number of Turner’s predecessors and contemporaries are mentioned in the text, as well as places Turner visited and painted. Thornbury’s text also relies on quoting long passages from letters by Turner as well as the writings, letters and reminiscences of his friends and acquaintances or their descendants, and Platt collected manuscript material to match. Most accounts of extra-illustration or ‘grangerization’, as it was often known in the past, have concentrated on the extra-illustrator’s use of portraits and topographical images.

Howland St. [recommended by] Mr Planta/ 6 months This is probably intended for the Scottish landscape painter Hugh Irvine (1782– 1829), who exhibited from 8 Howland Street in 1809. “This young gentleman, at an early period of life, manifested a strong inclination for the study of art, and for several years his application has been unremitting. For some time he was a pupil of Mr Reinagle of London, whose merit as an artist is well known; and he has long been a close student in landscape afer Nature” (Thom, History of Aberdeen, 1: 198). He was the third son of Alexander Irvine, 18th laird of Drum, Aberdeenshire (1754–1844), and his wife Jean (Forbes; d.1786). His uncle was the artist and art dealer James Irvine (1757–1831). Alexander Irvine had four sons and a daughter; Alexander (b.1777), Charles (b.1780), Hugh, Francis, and daughter Christian. There is no record of a Ralph Irvine among the Irvines of Drum (Wimberley, Short Account), nor was there a Royal Academy student or exhibiting or listed artist of this name, so this was surely a clerical error or misunderstanding.

    Benjamin Robert Haydon

    Benjamin Robert Haydon (26 January 1786 – 22 June 1846) Married Mary Cobley at St Marylebone Parish Church, 1821 Painted St Marylebone Parish Church, 1829 Haydon was an English painter who specialised in grand historical pictures, although he also painted a few contemporary subjects and portraits. His commercial success was damaged by his often tactless dealings with patrons, and by the enormous scale on which he preferred to work. He was troubled by financial problems throughout his life, which led to several periods of imprisonment for debt. He committed suicide in 1846. He gave lectures on art, and kept extensive diaries that were published after his death. Portrait of Haydon by his pupil Georgiana Margaretta Zornlin Haydon was born in Plymouth, the only son of another Benjamin Robert Haydon, a prosperous printer, stationer and publisher, and his wife Mary, the daughter of the Rev. Benjamin Cobley, rector of Dodbrooke, near Kingsbridge, Devon Haydon married Mary at St Marylebone Parish Church in 1821). At an early age he showed an aptitude for study, which was carefully fostered by his mother. At the age of six he was placed in Plymouth Grammar School, and at twelve in Plympton Grammar School, where Sir Joshua Reynolds had received most of his education. Reading Albinus inspired him with a love for anatomy, and from childhood he wanted to become a painter. Full of energy and hope, he left home, on 14 May 1804, for London, where he entered the Royal Academy Schools. He was so enthusiastic that Henry Fuseli asked when he found time to eat.
