Tombstone Tuesday ~ Holt Family Plot in Honolulu

The Holt Family Plot can be found at the Oahu Cemetery on Nu'uanu Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii.

The Holt Plot

The first members of the Holt family in Hawaii are buried at the Kawaiahoa Church cemetery in a mausoleum.  The Holt vault is the resting place of Robert William Holt and his second wife, Caroline Tauwati Robinson.  His first wife, Ann Marie Jones, sister of my 4x great grandmother Catherine (Jones) Younger, is buried in Boston.  They were the daughters of Owen Jones and Elizabeth Lambert of Boston.  Their sister, Mary Lambert Jones married Capt. John Dominis, and her son was Governor John Owen Dominis, husband of Queen Liliuokalani.

Robert W. Holt (1792 - 1862) came to Hawaii, and sent for his two daughters, Elizabeth and Annie, to join him in Honolulu.  He remarried to Wati in 1835 in Honolulu, at the Seaman's Bethel by Rev. Samuel Damon,  and had four sons, one - Owen Jones Holt (1842 - 1891) is buried in the vault.
