In 1818, he moved his family to Humphreys County and was one of the first settlers in the Cypress Creek section of the county. Arriving in Humphreys County at the same time was Burwell Utley and his two brothers. Burwell had married Sarah Lashley, the daughter of Benjamin’s sister, Mary Holland and Lewis Lashley. They probably all made the move together." - Source, The "Other" Holland Family: From Virginia to North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, by Wiley Julian Holland, Copyright 2003-2013 - published here September 10, 2012
