Dillard.Holman married Gertrude Eliza Garrett and they had 7 children.**Bio from "Families of Falls County" Marion Garrett Gibbs. Holman Kendal Hancock was a son of Samuel B. and Louisa Jane Adair Hancock, but was reared by his stepfather, Harris Kay, and his mother. After his marriage to Gertrude Eliza Garett, they moved to Knickerbocker, Tom Green County, Texas, along with her twin and several other family members, to take care of their father's ranching business. After about five years, the Hancocks returned to Stranger, where Holman purchased the shares of his step-father's estate from his step-brothers and step-sisters---the Kays. When Gertrude's father died in 1918, they were able to build a new home, and Holman purchased the Stranger General Store from Floyd Swinnea, which was operated by different members of the family for thirty years. Holman and Gertrude were members of the Baptist Church at Stranger, where Holman served as a Deacon and an Elder. He also was a Trustee of the Stranger School. Holman and Gertrude reared four of their seven children. The others died shortly after birth.
