Migrated to/Born in USA

John Holland, son was James Holland, was born in Enniskillen, Fermanaugh, Ireland on May 12, 1772.  John married Ann Henderson, and migrated to United States in 1802 (Pennsylvania).  Both John and Ann died in Brookville, Indiana, USA, in 1818, leaving eight children, who were bonded out on the Court House steps by the City in 1819.  George, one of the 8 children, later became a lawyer, and together with his brother William, got their siblings out of bondage,  
 

James Holland’s father was Mordica, who was born in Enniskillen.  Mordica’ a father was John Holland, who was also born in Enniskillen.  John’s father was William, who was born in Scotland.  William Holland fled to Ireland in 1641 due to persecution.  William’s brother, John, minister of the gospel, was martyred during the persecution.  
 

John Holland, son of William, fought under King William of Orange, who gained a conquest against King James at the Battle of the Boyne, on the 1st of July 1690.  John, afterwards, returned to Enniskillen, married in that town and had issue (Mordica).

This information was passed down to George, son of John who was born on 1772.  I don’t know if any of this information is true or just folklore.  We have a handwritten copy of this information.
