William Holland, who lived in this county since 1831, was born in 1819, in Robertson County, Tenn., and is a son of Daniel Holland, an old-fashioned gentleman. The mother of William Holland, whose name was Rebecca Skinner, was a native a Robertson County, as was also her husband. She died in Calloway County, Ky., two years subsequently to the death of her husband. They had a family of twelve children, of whom William is the eldest.

Though hedged about in his early youth with many disadvantages common to pioneer life, William developed a fondness for reading, which, combined with his native business energy made him conspicuous among his peers and was very influential in the community.
As a citizen, as a magistrate, as a conservator of the interests of widow and orphan, and in the administration of his own private business, Mr. Holland proved himself as an honest man.
He was married in 1839 to Miss Martha J. Miller, who was born in 1823, and died in 1882. They were the parents of: Mary A. (Roberts), Frances E., George M., Rebecca E. (Nix), John G., Robert B., Lafayette W., and Stanford L.
