Biography

Thomas McKee writes: "Thomas Tilden Hollabaugh is certainly from my line - his dad was James Calvin "Jeems" Hollabaugh, who lived in northwestern Arkansas near Fayetteville (U of A).

He had an apple orchard and was my grandfather, EB "Bertie" Hollabaugh's uncle.

So his grandfather, Jacob Hollabaugh was my great great grandfather (making him my 1st cousin 2x removed).

Anyway the family story goes that every year after he harvested his apples he would drive a team to Ellis Co, Texas, about 350 miles away and bring a load of apples when he came to visit his Ellis Co, TX Hollabaugh relatives which included his brother, Jacob Aldridge Hollabaugh (my great grandfather) and nephew (my grandfather and all of his kids).

My mom says it was the highlight of the fall because that was the only time they got fresh fruit other than wild grapes and persimmons.

I expect that for a sharecropper with 9 kids during the depression a wagon load of fresh apples was a welcome site.

Jeems had 9 kids of his own back home. I don't know if he brought any of the kids with him since they should have been in school when he traveled to Texas.

Jeems had two boys with similar names, Thomas Tilden (#6) and John Tilman (#9).^[1]
