The late Walt O. Holliman (1927 - 2003), a native of Alabama, had an excellent mind and a bent to collect data on family. In the pre-Internet age he did an incredible job of researching his families and those of his wife. In the autumn of 2011, his children shipped me his 20 plus boxes of research. With their permission I have scanned his 55 manuscripts of his related families and now have them ready to email to whomever might have an interest. Our continued thank you to Walt's family for preserving and protecting these documents.
Walt's father was Walt Holliman, the son of Moses Holliman, the son of Warren C. Holliman, the son of Charles Holliman, who was the son of James Grantson Holliman (1750-1836), a common grandfather to many reading this blog.
Some of the manuscripts are in draft, others polished and all footnoted. I can be reached at glennhistory@gmail.com for copies or additional information. If you believe you are related to these families and want to have a look, I am happy to email manuscripts which are in the red color. Additional information on research items can be found in Walt O. Holliman page on the left hand side of the blog.
