• Notes

  There is a birth certificate for Davis Holder, July 11, 1926, in Milam County, to William and Nettie. This is an original certificate, he is Nettie's 9th child, five are living. I found one record for Chick that gives his birthdate as Aug 11, 1925; his headstone says 1926. I don't know if his accepted birth date is incorrect or if there was another child born to Will and Nettie. (Research):Alabama Deaths, 1908-1959
