My great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Holt, born in Tennessee in 1837. She was 13 years in 1850 and there is a Mary Holt living with her sister Nancy Holt and James and Jane Nichols in Hardin County. I am trying to determine if Jane was married to a Holt before she married James Nichols.

In 1856 Mary married Samuel Spears Dudley in Lauderdale County, Alabama.
