     George M.P. Holt was born on 5 January 1845 at St Marks, Wakulla Co, Florida.1 He was the son of George Garth Holt and Mariah L. (?)
     George enlisted in the Confederate Army at Newport, Florida on 28 Feb 1863, under George W. Scott, Captain, Second Florida Calvary, Company D. He was living at Newport at the time of his enlistment. Was paroled 13 May 1865 by order of Gen. E.M. McCook, Commanding Officer, at Tallahassee, Florida.1 Ted Williams, a genealogist in Florida, had in his possession a wonderful photo of George M. P. Holt, and the history that George himself gave on the back. His cousin who had possession of the photograph, had lived in Daytona Beach for a time and his grandmother had run a hotel there. Since the 1920 census listed that George Holt was boarding in Daytona at that time, he may have been at her residence. Possibly, he died there and left the photograph behind.1,2 George M.P. Holt appeared on the census of 8 February 1920 at Daytona, Volusia Co, Florida; George M. P. Holt, aged 75, was a boarder at the house of Isaac Hooey(?) on 2nd Avenue. He appears to have had two "roomers", Lena Reed, 28 and Eva Gaines.3
