One of the prominent pioneer families of Leon County, Texas, the Hollemans are from the region of Guy's store.

The family made its original settlement in San Augustine County in 1839, remaining there only one year before going to Shelby County. In making the trip to Texas Mr. Holleman went by boat down the Mississippi river to New Orleans, and then to Natchitoches on the Red River, thence by team through almost a wilderness to the point above mentioned in Texas. They came into Leon County in 1847, one year after its organization, from Houston, Texas, where they had resided only one year, moving from Shelby County, Texas, to that point in 1846.
