  Notes	William's "Uncle Billy" Holman was appointed his guardian in December, 1857 by Chief Justice Alfred Polk. William's sister, Anna Holman, and her husband, Richard F. Slaughter, a San Augustine Attorney filed a petition against William W. Holman and Matthew Cartwright to gain control of William Holman's interest in a 722 acre tract obtained by Clementine Holman dec'd as an heir to the estate of John Cartwright. After hearing the case the judge ruled against the Slaughters. (Noble, Harry P. TEXAS TRAILBLAZERS: SAN AUGUSTINE PIONEERS: Best of East Texas Publishers, Lufkin, Texas, 1999, pp. 128-129). Henson and Parmelee write that "William S. Holman, the orphan son of Sanford and Clementine" served alongside his cousin, Lon Cartwright [a son of Amanda Holman] during the Civil War. On May 25, 1861, Lon, Meck "and twenty other volunteers rode to Shelby County, where Captain Short lived, to enlist...Short's company left in June to rendezvous near Dallas, where along with other East Texas units, they were sworn into Col. Elkana Greer's mounted regiment....(and) eventually were designated as the Third Texas Cavalry, and Short's company became Company E." (Henson & Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 200, p. 205) By 1862, Bill was a second lieutenant of Company C, and "acted nobly and received compliments from Maj. Stone for his gallant behavior." (ibid, p. 224). After the civil war, he moved to Bell County where, in addition to his own business, he watched over the investments of his Uncle, Matthew Cartwright. (ibid, p. 264). (Research): Census Listings: 1850 Census Texas, San Augustine, San Augustine District Enumerated 14 Sept 1850 Stampted 336 77-77 Wm.
