In 1833 Drury Holt and his brother Henry H. Holt migrated from Tennessee to Martin County, Indiana. Henry H. Holt and his family stayed in Martin County, but Drury Holt moved that same year to Rush County, Indiana. Drury became a farmer, minister, and Justice of the Peace. He owned a farm north of Rushville. He is buried in the Church year of Hanagan Church in Rush County where he had preached. He was married twice. His first wife was Sarah Cassell and by her he had eight children: Calvin, Eliphaz, George, Alfred, Saba, Barbara, Thena, and Malinda. After Sarah died he married Sally Kendall, a widow, on 26 Jan 1840. Sally already had three daughters. Drury and Sally then had three sons: Drury, Jr., John, and Henry. This information is from the oral family history of Aubrey Holt (and his wife Betty) of Atlanta, Kansas. It was handwritten by Betty Holt in January 1981 and mailed to Helen Holt Holmes of Bloomington, Indiana.
