Notes
- In the 1900 census, Jane is married to William H Holden.
In the 1910 census, Jane, lsited here as Janie C, is married to James Criswell. Two Holden children are listed with Janie in the household Criswell hosuehold. This was my fist awareness of the Holden marriage before I found the 1900 census only about 2 years later. The first child is Caldonia, age 9, and the second is entered as what looks like Wattie Holden, age 6. Caldonia is reported as Female, while the last child is reported as Male. THe transcription spelled this name Mattie, but I was sceptical, knowing that as a woman's name, short for Martha.
A note in late December 2008 from a descendant indicates that Caldonia's brother's name is Mattie, rather than Wattie. I am thinking Mattie could be a nickname for Matthew.
"I am related to some of the McSwains. Second cousins, you listed some Holdens, Caldonia and Mattie, that was my grandmother and her brother, I reconize some of the names remembering her talking about living with the Criswells and the McSwains, down in Arkansas, I think I even have some pics of some of the newer McSwains. And maYbe some of the Criswells."
