Not much is known of the beginnings of our George Holder and Mary. Some speculation is he came from early Virgina and maybe England before that. George Holder wrote his will 25 Aug 1799 in Sampson County North Carolina. That part of Sampson County was originally Duplin County.
It is believed that George Holder was born about 1740 because of the ages of his children. George is listed as having 100 acres of land in Duplin County 12 Oct 1767 side of the Great Cohera in the fork of Beaverdam Swamp. George is listed in the 1783 Duplin Co. early Census and in the 1784 early tax list of Sampson County. Sampson County was established April 1784.
George Holder served in the Revolutionary war and received pay of one pound and 14 shillings for his service.
In 1786 and 1789 George is listed in court records of Sampson Co. as being excempt from paying a poll tax(this would be because of his war service)
In 1790 George is listed on the Sampson County Census
In 1793 George asked if he could build a mill across his branch of the river-Granted
In 1799 George again is excempt from paying a poll tax
