  Father	John Hollis,   b. 1736, London, England, United Kingdom d. 27 Aug 1832, Readyville, Rutherford, Tennessee, United States (Age 96 years)
  Mother	Mary,   b. Abt 1737   d. Aft 1810, Rutherford, Tennessee, United States (Age ~ 74 years)
  Marriage	Abt 1768	Rowan, North Carolina, United States
  	There is a Rowan County marriage record on 10 Jan 1791 for Mary Tranham and Jesse Rickmon. I suspect that this is the Mary named in Martin Trentham's will. This would lead me to suspect that, if John Hollis married a Mary Trantham, that she would perhaps be Martin's sister, in order to make the ages work out.
