Is Wesley M Copeland and W.M. Coplin the same person

Also for your information Robert Stanley Jackson and Margaret Elizabeth Lavender Hollis were the father and mother of my Grandmother Nancy Jemima Jackson Taylor who married Stephen Taylor as his second wife and his first wife was Kesiah Holladay. What a crazy mixed up world!)

Holliday: Inf Dau of Tol& Rosa Jan. 07, 1928 to Jan. 13, 1928 (This might be the Rosa (Rosa Bell Jackson) listed above. Again just a guess but would stand to reason since they are in the same cemetery???? I do not know who Tol Holladay is. Could that be Tom Holladay?)

I am Ray Taylor...this is a continuation ....I am not sure I have too much information on these graves.

Holliday: John G. Mar. 03, 1818 to Nov. 21, 1897 (John Gupple (Brindle John) Holladay. His wife was Sarah A. Estill)

Grave with two blank markers

Stewart: Clarence Jan. 05, 1898 to Feb. 22, 1900 (My theory on this is that Rebecca A. Holladay (daughter of John Gupple (Brindle John) Holladay) married a John Henry Stewart. Now they had several children but none named Clarence. They had children starting in 1867 and I have dates to November 27, 1875 and had three children after that of which I have no dates. Rebecca was born in 1849 so she would have been 49 years old in 1898...possibly she did have a Clarence but I have none listed for her. Now they had a son John Henry Stewart, Jr., that married a Mary Springfield and I have two children listed for them but no infants that died in child birth. So I am sure there is a connections but so far cannot do so.)

May: Mary Holliday born 1870 died Aug. 09, 1945 (Not sure about this one.)

Holliday: Dave son of D.D. & M.A. Feb. 09, 1887 to Dec. 10, 1888 (Dave Holladay son of Daniel David and Mary A. Lollar Holladay.)

Need information on the Roltison marker info not clear,

Name may be wrong. (so far unable to decifer this name...

Also need info on the Stewart marker (See my comments above.)

Names not clear. If you have info contact me at

Hi, My name is Ray taylor and I do have some information about your posting. I believe the correct spelling for these Holl(i)days is Holladay. There were some Hollidays in Mississippi but I believe that the families were not kin. Of course through the ages it has been spelled many different ways.

As to Holliday Cemetery #3...I have it listed as the John Jack Holladay Field. I believe that the cemetery was on John Jack's land and was considered a family cemetery. Of course you can call it what you like but some researchers have it as Jack Holladay's Cemetery, Sulligent, Lamar County, Alabama.

Now for the other bits of information to better explain the people buried there I will highlight my information in blue.

Thanks Ed!!!!

Drive West on Hwy 278 from Sulligent turn left on Buck Jackson Rd. drive 4.2 miles turn right on Sid Moore Rd. drive .9 miles Cemetery on left off Rd.

There is a lot of damage to the markers at the Cemetery

Some info not complete

Lollar: Samuel July 20, 27, 1905 (Samuel Allen Lollar)

I am not sure what the dates mean. I do have information that leads me to believe that July 20 ???? is birth date but the 27, 1905 could not be a death date. He and his wife Alice had children through June 17, 1920. So he had to die after that date or shortly before that date.

Lollar: Inf son of Samuel & Alice July 20, to July 24, 1902 (This is the infant son of Samuel Allen Lollar and Alice Olivia Holladay. I have a birth/death date of July 30, 1902. So not sure who is right. FYI Alice Olivia Holladay was the daughter of John Jack and Martha Agnes (Wren) Holladay. Another interesting fact is that they had at least three sons that died early in infantcy. One in 1902, one in 1904, and one in 1920. So the graves listed below as grave with stone marker are probably their children. They had a total of 9 children. I do not have any information on the children except for names (when given) and dates of birth.)

Moore: July 11, 1901 to Nov. 27, 1904 (Not sure who is buried here; however, one of John Jack's daughters, Idella Holladay born December 27, 1875 and died 1968, married Thomas F. Moore. So I suppose it is one of their children.)

Holliday: Violet wife of John Holliday July 29, 1877 to Feb. 03, 1903 (Sarah Violette (Barton) Holladay born July 29, 1833 and died February 3, 1903. John Holladay was born in 1832. He was the son of Daniel William Holladay b 1784 and Sally Rhoda Britt (hopefully) (He had a lot of wives and a lot of children). As a point of interest Daniel William Holladay was the father of my Grandfather Stephen Taylor's first wife, Kisah Holladay.
