His parental connection is unconfirmed, conclusion drawn on the basis of the fact that we knew he was born about 1840 in Alabama, and given the rarity of the name Roland, matched to Roland Holcombe born alabama 1841--Sabrina Hand Also, apparently, David migrated to Pike Co., Arkansas aft 1860 if the Holcomb's migrated to Arkansas, this would explain how Roland got there to meet Viana just a note, Hempsted Arkansas is almost in Texas...would explain migration pattern evergreen cemetery in Orange county, TX (2 of his kids show up here, dora in 1910, and john in 1920), yep definitly: Halcomb, Rolan no dates CO H ALA INF CSA (Company H Alabama Infantry Confederate States Army) and from that i found this: Rollin Halcomb Film Number M374 roll 18 Regiment Name 26 (O'Neal's) Alabama Infantry.
