  	e-mail fr JodonHols@aol.com 27 Apr 1999: "Andrew Jackson Holstead/Halstead, prob b. abt 1820/25, maybe in Georgia, or South Carolina. Was living in Hawkinsville, Pulaski County, GA in 1850, 60 & 70, along with his son Andrew Thomas Holstead, my grandfather, and migrated to North Louisiana where my father was born." also from Jodon - "My fathers family and all my kinfolk in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana pronounce it "Hall-sted". My great-grandfather spelled it Halsted, Halstead and Holstead, some how or another, we ended up with Holstead.My gr-gr grandfather (Andrew Jackson Holstead) moved to Louisiana from Georgia in the late 1870's. I haven't been able to trace my ancestry beyond this. I suspect that he was born in North Carolina and is related to the Halstead line of John A. Halstead of Chesapeake, Virginia."

Holstead, and wonder if John L. and Andrew might not be brothers. Both are buried in Ruston, La. and both have descendents in Ruston. However, their name as spelled on tombstones is HOLSTEAD. Andrew and Elizabeth are buried in Douglas Cemetery. Their daughter, Polly, married Allen Crowell, and she is buried in Frantom Chapel Cemetery in West Monroe, La. Their is a John Marshall Holstead listed on family website and John Marshall is direct descendent of Andrew Holstead. e-mail me directly if you want any further information on this family at diddyw@bayou.com<<< Have you been in contact with Elaine ?? Her message was in reply to a message from Carlos McGregor (www.txs23@aol.com) posted about a year ago: >>I`m looking for information on Andrew Halstead and Elizabeth(unknown?).They lived near Ruston,Lincoln Parish, Louisiana.Their daughter Amilia Martha(Millie)Halstead was my great-grandmother.Indication is that they were living in Georgia when she was born in April, 1852.I know nothing else about them.Any help would be appreciated.<< These folks may have some information to help us link John L. and Andrew J. to one of the other family lines.
