Notes
a. Note:   Priscilla was very unhappy and disapointed with the situation of the South. In 1857, before the war, five Holland men had died, same year, her
 husband included, then came the war and she lost nephews. After, and
 above all, the later humiliating situation she couln't afford, she left
 her home in Gaston Co, in the Morning at half past nine, Febrary 15th,
 1867, to Brazil with her four children. They sold his place at Crowder's
 Creek to Dr. William J Torrence, who lived there the rest of his life.
 They went to New York. When waiting to get on board of the sheep South
 America in February, 23 or 25th, 1867, they sent several letters to
 relatives and friends in North Caroline. (Some of those letters were in
 power of Robert Hoffman in 1963, where can it be now?)
  Already in Brazil they first settled in Santa Barbara d'Oeste, SP, as we
 can read in Judiyh McKnight Jones book, "Soldier, now you may rest", p.
 166: Lived also in the Retiro Neighborhood, At American Colony, near
 Santa Barbara d'Oeste, SP, the widow Priscilla Holland, who came from
 Carolina with her children William, Jim, Leroy who was nicknamed Lee, and
 Mary, the youngest.
  And in p. 253: The Hollands didn't stay longuer in Retiro Neighborhood,
 moved to several places, among them the city of Tatuhy, however Lee was
 witness (p. 287) of a deed sell of the Tanner's property in 1887, at
 Santa Barbara.
  They lived in several places in the Sao Paulo State. In 1875, they were
 living at Porto Feliz (Happy Harbour), her older son Willie died
 unmarried and young (30), then in Feb. 1876 Priscilla died also. I think
 James had married and moved, by this time. So left Leroy and Mary, both
 unmarried. I think, felling alone, they came back to Americana since soon
 both married Americans.
