Notes	James is credited with actually becoming the founder of what would later be called Holts Summit, though many relations assisted him in the effort. The Holt family chose a vast tract of land approximately 20 miles southwest of Fulton to plant their roots. James worked several years in his father's mill, the experience enabling him to eventually pursue a successful professional career. James eventually married Lucy Reynolds, and together with his son, Timothy, constructed a general store, which also served as a post office. The store was named Holts Summit because it was the highest piece of land from "there to the river." Elijah and John, along with Perry Simeon Holts (John's son) all contributed to the eventual successful community development of Holts Summit. mentioned in his father's will as an heir in 1832 1850 United States Federal Census Record about James Holt Name: James Holt Age: 44 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1806 Birth place: Virginia Gender: Male Home in 1850 (City,County,State): District 12, Callaway, Missouri Source Citation: Year: 1850; Census Place: District 12, Callaway, Missouri; Roll: M432_393; Page: 262; Image: 520.
