HOLTS SUMMIT
Abner Holt was the son of Timothy Holt Sr. and Elizabeth Chambers. Born in Halifax, Va., Abner later married Elizabeth Brooks, and together they packed up their belongings and headed their wagon toward Tennessee. It didn't take them long to witness the rapidsettlement of that state in the first quarter of the 19th century. In 1819, they again ventured west, setting their sights upon the sparsely populated wilderness of central Missouri. Abiding the winter in Howard County, Elizabeth and her children joined the men in the Spring of 1820 in their newly cleared homestead in Callaway County. Abner soon constructed a mill in the southern portion of the county, which later attracted other newly arriving settlers. One of those settlers would be Hiram Holts, Abiier's brother, who brought his family to Callaway in 1826.
Abner and Elizabeth had three sons: James, Elijah, and John. James is credited with actually becoming the founder of what would later be called Holts Summit, though many relations assisted him in the effort.
The Holt family chose a vast tract of land approximately 20 miles southwest of Fulton to plant their roots. James worked several years in his father's mill, the experience enabling him to eventually pursue a successful professional career. James eventually married Lucy Reynolds, and together with his son, Timothy, constructed a general store, which also served as a post office. The store was named Holts Summit because it was the highest piece of land from "there to the river." Elijah and John, along with Perry Simeon Holts (John's son) all contributed to the eventual successful community development of Holts Summit.
Go your way to the land of the Ancestors, where they wait for you with open arms, there on the edge between this world and the next. See; there they stand. Ancestral spirits, welcome this one to the place where we all must go.
