Dibdall HOLT, son of David HOLT & Margaret DIBDALL of New Kent, Hanover, and Williamsburg, VA (b. 1720's; d. aft. 1792). Dibdall probably met Brazure COCKE's family in Williamsburg where the HOLTS were a prominent family. Dibdall's brother John HOLT served as mayor of Williamsburg and later published newspapers in New York City and Norfolk VA. Dibdall is named in John HOLT's will, dated Oct. 1, 1749, proved Oct. 30, 1784, in New York. Dibdall's sister Jane HOLT was married to a famous Presbyterian minister, Rev. Samuel DAVIES (1724-1761), of Hanover Co., VA, a firey evangelist who converted hundreds of Virginians to Presbyterianism. Dibdall probably married Elizabeth COCKE roughly 1745 and moved to Amelia Co., VA, soon thereafter. He can be found in Amelia Co. as early as 1748 when he witnessed the will of William STONE (Amelia WB 1, p.55) and was still there in 1762 when he appeared on a tax list. He lived in Nottoway Parish, which later became Nottoway County. Robert CHEEK was a member of Dibdall HOLT's household in 1754 and 1755, according to the Amelia Co. tax lists. Dibdall's daughter may be Elizabeth HOLT who m. Samuel BIRCH (or BURCH) on May 1, 1764, in Granville Co., NC, with Robert CHEEK as bondsman. Dibdall and his family moved to the Natchez District of the Louisiana territory sometime in the 1770's. They settled in an area that later became Jefferson Co., MS. Dibdall's name appears on a petition dated Oct. 4, 1779, "from the citizens of Natchez to Lieut. Col. Dickson, 16th Reg. commanding his Britannick Majesty's Forces in the River Mississippi. . . ." He is also mentioned in his sister Sarah TRULY's will dated Mar. 15, 1792 (Natchez Dist.) and in other Natchez records.
