Notes:
Holland Middleton, son of William and Elizabeth Teares Middleton was born in Charles County, Maryland in 1713-16. He died in Hancock County, Georgia, his will being recorded in Hancock County, Georgia 23 July 1793. He married the first time to Sarah Middleton, the daughter of his uncle, Thomas Middleton. (Ref. Thomas Middleton's will wherein he names Holland Middleton as next of kin in 1744 and in 1738 he gives Holland a piece of land.) Holland Middleton's second wife was named Mary_____. (Note: She was probably a Parks because she named a son Parks and one Benjamin.) (Ref. "The Maryland Semmes and Kindred Families," page 279, by Harry Wright Newman).
In 1755-56, Holland Middleton was living in Fairfax County, Virginia with a son, Holland, Jr., and probably other children. In 1767, Holland signed a deed in South Carolina, recorded in Maryland, in which he said he was of "Colony of South Carolina." His brother, Hugh, was in South Carolina in 1762 and maybe earlier. As late as 1765, though, Holland Middleton was still in Fairfax County, as shown by old tax records, with Holland, Jr. In 1795-96, Captain Holland Middleton died in Hancock County, Georgia, and his family moved to Tuscaloosa County, Alabama in 1818. In 1835, nearly all of the Middletons moved to Mississippi, settling in Panola, Choctaw, and other counties. His son Robert Middleton, must have moved to Mississippi Territory a little earlier than his brothers because he is found on the 1820 Census in Mississippi in Amite County; also a marriage record is on file in Marion County of the marriage to his second wife, Elizabeth Mores in 1813. Then in 1823, I find the first mention of him as Justice of Peace in the newly formed Copiah County, Mississippi. (Robert Bowman)
