Note: this memorial updated Jan. 12, 2019 with change of DOD from October 1, 1846 to Monday, Oct. 5, 1846 per information/edit request from another contributor. Although the "bio" that Lyle Fulton posted as a photo had/has the DOD as Oct. 1, 1846, evidently there are newspaper accounts of Holland's death that give the actual date as being on Monday, Oct. 5, 1846. Will use that date for this memorial unless other information is provided. Some of this information can be found on the FamilySearch website.

In addition to the biographical information printed at the right side of this page, Find A Grave contributor "ET" has provided the following information:

Representatives and an Indian trader, successfully
lobbied the Texas Congress to pass a bill granting
Sophia Aughinbaugh a divorce from her missing
husband (Jesse A. Aughinbaugh) and on January 19,
1839, she and Coffee were married at Independence
