Individual Details
Joseph Holzklau
(Abt 1740 - 24 Jan 1835)
There is believed to have been no children from Joseph's marriage to Mary Thomas.
Both Joseph and his brother Jacob moved to the Robinson River Valley with the Second Colony. They were married to Thomas sisters.
John Thomas made a deed of gift of land to Joseph Holtzclaw, 15 Apr 1762 (Culpeper DB D, p.5). Joseph and his second wife, Elizabeth, deeded away that land on 12 Nov 1770.
16 Sep 1776, John Zimmermann and Ursula his wife, gave 200 acres of land to their daughter Elizabeth Holtzclaw and her husband Joseph (also called Jacob in the deed), Cupeper DB H. p. 246.
Joseph was in the militia of Culpeper Co VA in 1781 during the Revolution.
Daughters of Jacob appear in the list of communicants of the Hebron Church, German Lutheran, which is now in Madison Co, Virginia, though at the time it was still part of Culpeper Co. Names found in an article in BEYOND GERMANNA on the Rookstool family list Magdalena [wife of a son?], Jemima, Susanna, Elizabeth [could be wife of Jacob or his daughter or both], and Eva between the years of 1788 and 1808. These records would be important for further research on this family.
