Charles Kindrell Holt was born on February 29th, 1826 in Davidson, Tennessee. He was the son of James Simpson Holt and Elizabeth B. Fortner. He married Mary Burnett Campbell and had ten children. Charles enlisted in the Yankee service on March 1st, 1863 along with his brother William. He was listed as being a farmer, with a height of six-foot two inches, blue eyes, and brown hair. He served in Company F of the 1st Arkansas Infantry. Charles raised his family in Newton County, Arkansas and died on June 14th, 1897 in Mt. Judea. He was buried in Sexton Cemetery.

On January 17th, 1864, at Charles's home near Mt. Judea, some bushwhackers came by, led by the infamous Chief Longhair, and killed Charles's brother in law, Timothy Sexton. Charles narrowly escaped being killed himself by fleeing down the creek and scaling a bluff, hiding at the top. Later, when his wife went looking for him, he was too afraid to say anything to her that would give away his position, so he let her know he was okay by tossing pebbles down at her.
