Holderby, Early Settler in Cabell County

-------------------------------------------

----------

James Holderby (1783 - 1855) owned and operated Holderby's
Landing. It came into existence in 1821.

He built a brick house and landing near the foot of 16th Street
and the Ohio River.

Now called Hal Greer Boulevard, the landing was near the Old
State Road, and later the James River and Kanawha Turnpike.
Part of the Holderby's farm was sold to Collis P. Huntington by
James's sons, William and Edward.

James Holderby sold the trustees of Marshall Academy one and
one fourth acres for the school in 1838.
