The HolmanWaring Duel.
THE HOLMANWARING DUEL, IN WHICH FRANCIS G. WARING WAS KILLED AND WILSONP. GREENUP, SON OF GOVERNOR CHRISTOPHER GREENUP, WAS JACOB HOLMAN'sSECOND AND WAS JOINTLY INDICTED WITH HIM.
The duel between Francis G. Waring and Jacob Harrod Holman was fought inFranklin county, about three miles from Frankfort, in the early morningof July 16, 1819. Francis G. Waring was a wealthy young Virginian who hadrecently come to Kentucky. He was a practiced duelist who had beenengaged in several affairs of honor in the old dominion.
On the 4th of July, Waring attended a muster of the county militia whichwas drilled on the Peak's mill road about four miles from Frankfort.Jacob H. Holman was an officer of the company and during the maneuvers adog which belonged to Waring was killed by a thrust from Holman's saber.This killing brought on a fist fight between the two men, but they wereseparated before any material damage was done to either of them and itwas thought by those present that the incident was closed. The followingday Waring sought his friend, Doctor Joe Roberts and after talking thematter over between them, Doctor Roberts became the bearer of a challenge.
Mr. Holman selected Wilson P. Greenup, son of exGovernor ChristopherGreenup, as his second in the coming affair of honor. Mr. Greenup andDoctor Roberts met the following day and agreed that since Holman hadreceived the challenge he had the right to name the weapons to be usedand Waring was given the right to select the ground, and the day fixedwas the 16th of July, at the trout of six o'clock in the morning. Holmannamed the dueling pistols as the weapons to be used and Waring selectedthe beautiful woodland on the Rev. Silas M. Noel's farm as the place ofmeeting. This farm afterwards became famous for being the home ofTheodore O'Hara, the author of "The Bivouc of the Dead." It was furtheragreed that the principals were to stand ten steps apart and at thewords, one, two three, Fire! they were to fire simultaneously. If eitherparty fired before the command, "Fire" was given, the seconds agreed toshoot down the one so offending. If either party failed to fire at thecommand, his opponents second was to count, one, two, three, and if hefailed to fire on the call of the last number he was to lose his shot.
The party met promptly at the time arranged and at the place named; allof the arrangements previously made were carried out. The principals tookthe places assigned them. the question was asked, "Are you ready," bothof them answered in the affirmative. Doctor Roberts then counted, one !two! three ! and each of them raised and presented his pistol, takingdeliberate aim at his opponent, when he gave he command "Fire!" bothshots were so nearly simultaneous, that only one report was heard.Holman's bullet took effect in Waring's right breast, ranging to the leftand passed through his heart causing his death instantly. Waring's bullettook effect in Holman's right hip causing him to fall, he was carriedfrom the battle field to his home where he lingered for many months. Hefinally recovered so that he could walk but he remained a cripple forlife.
Niles' Register for August 1819, said:
"A pair of dunces agreed to shoot at each other few days ago nearFrankfort, Ky. One was a young Virginian, the challenger, the other aprinter. The first was instantly killed on the spot, and the other verybadly wounded."
The Franklin county grand jury indicted Holman and Greenup for the murderof Waring, and Doctor Roberts as also indicted charged with aiding,abetting, etc., the felonious shooting of Holman by Francis G. Waring.
The indictment against Holman and Greenup jointly charged that:
"Jacob H. Holman and Wilson P. Greenup, not having the fear of God beforetheir eyes, but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the devil,on the 16th day of July in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred andnineteen, with force and arms, in the County aforesaid in and uponFrancis G. Waring, in the peace of God and of the said Commonwealth thenand there being feloniously, wilfully and of their malice aforethought,did make an assault, and that the said Jacob H. Holman, a certain pistol,then and there loaded and charged with gunpowder and one loaded bullet,which pistol the said Jacob H. Holman in his right hand then and therehad and held to, against and upon the said Francis G. Waring then andthere feloniously, wilfully and of his malice aforethought, did shoot anddischarge in the right pap of him the said Francis G. Waring then andthere being in the Peace of God, and of the Commonwealth, from the effectof which the said Francis G. Waring then and there instantly died. Andthat the aforesaid Wilson P.

"W. ANDERSON, Atty for Com."
On Saturday, July 24, Wilson P. Greenup surrendered himself into thecustody of the court and bail was fixed at two thousand dollars. John J.Marshall (author of J. J. Marshall's Reports), and Thomas Loofborro wenton his bond for his appearance at the October term of court. The methodof selecting jurors differed from that of a hundred years later. Theorder to the sheriff was:
"You are hereby commanded to summons twelve good and lawful men of yourcounty, being housekeepers, by whom the truth may be better known,residing as near as may be to the place where a certain murder issupposed to have been committed on the body of Franeis a. Waring, late ofyour county, to appear before the Franklin Circuit Court immediately forthe trial of Jacob H. Holman who stands indicted in the Circuit aforesaidfor the murder aforesaid.
"Francis P. BLAIR,
Circuit Court Clerk."
On October 19th, Jacob H. Holman and Wilson P. Greenup appeared in thecourt and being arraigned, plead "Not guilty," and for their trial putthemselves upon their country and the attorney for the Commonwealthlikewise, and the prisoners having consented to be tried by the same juryand at the same time, thereupon came a jury towit: George Baltzell andeleven others, who being elected, tried, sworn the truth of and upon thepremises to speak, and there not being time to go through the trial thisevening, by consent as well of the attorneys for the Commonwealth as theprisoners at the bar, the jury is adjourned until tomorrow morning atnine o'clock and the jurymen permitted to go to their respective placesof abode to return at the time aforesaid.
October 20th: "Jacob E. Holman and Wilson P. Greenup, who stand indictedfor murder, were again led to the bar in custody of the sheriff, and thejury empaneled and sworn for their trial also appeared and took theirseats, and having heard the evidence upon their oaths do say theprisoners at the bar not guilty as charged in manner and form as in theindictment against them alleged, and proclamation being made as themanner is, and nothing further appearing or being alleged against thesaid Jacob H. Holman and Wilson P. Greenup; it is therefore considered bythe court that they be acquitted and discharged from the charge aforesaidand go thereof hence without day."
The indictment against Joseph Roberts, physician, for aiding, etc.,Francis G. Waring in shooting Jacob H. Holman in the lower part of theright hip, was on motion of the Commonwealth's Attorney, dismissed.

~ INTRODUCTION
The contributor of these reports wishes to remain anonymous but grantedpermission to include them on this website. The contributor is adescendant of William B [ird] Holeman (1797-1880); I (GKBopp) descendfrom William's older brother, Jacob Harrod Holeman (1793-1857). Theirmother, Elizabeth Rader/Reader, died young (possibly in the year ofWilliam's birth); Jacob and William were named by their grandfatherMichael Rader in a gift deed and in his will. The boys' father, AndrewHoleman, probably removed from Shenandoah after 1796; nothing further isknown of him at this time. Jacob (sometimes known as Harrod or "Harry")and William settled in Kentucky at an early age; it is not known when, orwith whom, they removed from Virginia. According to one family tradition,the boys ran away from a "mean" stepmother; another source states theycame to Kentucky with their father [or possibly a cousin]. The brothersare listed as Kentucky Veterans of the War of 1812 and were newspaperpublishers in Kentucky.
