Dec. 1, 1837        Charlotte Journal
   DIED, in Eatonton, Ga., on the 18th ult., of apoplexy, MR. THOMAS HOLTON, 
(father of the editor of this paper) in the 78th year of his age. The deceased 
was born in Philadelphia, but removed early in life to Richmond, Va., where 
he resided the greater part of his time until 1817, when he removed to 
Salisbury, N.C., and removed from that place to Eatonton. He was an 
industrious man and followed his business to the last, although his sight had 
failed him. He was a soldier of the Revolution, and we have often heard him 
say that he was in several battles during that eventful struggle, in one of 
which he was wounded. He has left six chidren to mourn his loss -- and only 
one was present to perform the last offices to a departed parent.
