Do you know of Holy Branch ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Holy Branch. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Holy Branch.<1>

Our sources for Holy Branch (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Holy Branch other than they indicate that Holy Branch would be found somewhere in Saint Johns County, Florida.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1887.
