  	There is no substantial proof that this was Dulcinea Holland's first husband. However in the 1850 census, he is listed as a single man, a farmer. He is on the same page of the census as Dulcinea's brother, William C. Holland. Moreover, she is listed on the very next page; so clearly they must have known one another.
