Note: RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated July 24, 2021 Charles Hollon is my maternal third great uncle, which is via common ancestry with John Hollon and Charity Brewer. Charles was initially identified in the 1850 census living with his parents. Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent of Charles Hollon is sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of Charles begins with the census record, which shows him living with his parents. Charles is not listed in Clay Hollon’s book, which was published in 1958, though Clay was the nephew of Charles. The book lists John and Polly as having 15 children, and Charles was an omission. There are two newspaper articles from 1902 which indicate that John and Polly had 16 children. These newspaper articles directly support Charley from the 1850 census as being that sixteenth child. He is not listed with the family on the 1860 census, so the assumption is that he died young. 1847 BIRTH OF CHARLES HOLLON Researched by Timothy J.
