Descendants of William Holderness

The tradition of William Holderness resembles many of these tales we are all trying to unravel.
I believe the truth is somewhat closer to this: William and his brother James moved to North Carolina after their father died in Virginia.
It is possible they are sons of a Robert Holderness whose traces are found in Middlesex, Caroline, and King & Queen Counties. Since I cannot prove these relationships yet, I'll start my story with William Holderness, whose first record is as a member of the Orange County, North Carolina militia in 1763.
