Holt
James
Corporal
Virginia
Enlisted in the 4th Virginia Regiment which was originally organized in February 1776 at Suffolk Courthouse from ten Virginia Counties including Prince Edward County (Plunket Holt’s birth-place) and the adjacent Charlotte County (James Holt’s birthplace). Charlotte County, it would seem, is the most likely point of enlistment for James in the 1776-1777 time frame, as he would have been approximately 18 years of age. James and his regiment are shown in various rosters of the 1777 encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The record also captures James’s ser-vice in a number other Virginia Regiments, 3rd, 9th & 12th in addition to the 4th, in the later months of his enlistment.
