Descendants of Thomas HOLYOAK
Notes
MARRIAGE:Listed in the Ancestral File as DIVORCED from Adam Franklin Robb. However, the Wardell family history places this in doubt. Specifically, a biographical sketch of Solomon Wardell records the following:
"In 1890, three years after his wife's death (Ellen McKell Matheson), Solomon (Wardell) married Sarah Permelia Holyoak Robb, A WIDOW WITH FOUR CHILDREN.
They were Albertus, William Heber, Franklin Adam, and (Sarah) Alice. The Holyoak and Robb families had been closely associated when they went down the Hole in Rock, near Bluff, Utah".This is believed to be reliable information.
