Did he also marry Susannah York (1730-1798)?

I added the link from DAR for wife named Susanna.

Is there proof for daughter Rachel Johnson ?

https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=ful... with DAR proved children Elizabeth who married Ephraim Davis, Thomas who married Matilda Hawkins and Grace who married Daniel Sutherland.

At FamilySearch, Rachel and other children of Thomas with two wives remain but
Mary Ann Holeman, (twin) has been removed

I added her back

as there is NO explanation there for leaving the children motherless.
Anyone familiar with the Thompson/Darling family, please weigh in.

Note:
In the Abstract of NC Wills 1760-1800, Susannah is identified as Thomas Holeman's wife. Date about 1797. 12 other family members are also identified.

At Wikitree, Rachel Rachel Johnson https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Holman-101 is seen as the daughter of Thomas with his wife Susannah York.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Holeman-134 agrees he had TWO wives.

Thomas settled in Rowan County in what was to be Surry and later to be Wilkes County. He was responsible for Holman's Ford where Daniel Boone started his expedition into what is now KY.

In 1764 he was given Wilkes County land grant #514, located on Stony fork. Said Thomas and Susannah had all 14 children."

Thomas married Mary Ann Thompson (1727-1757) in 1742, with whom he had children Rachel, Joseph, Rebecca, Daniel, Isaac, Grace and Thomas Junior. The same undocumented source claims Thomas' second wife, married in 1758, was Susannah B. Tugman (1725-?) with whom he had children Susannah, James, Elizabeth, Absolem, Reuben, Jacob and Margaret Peggy. If the 1758 marriage date is correct, then it is apparent that Thomas did have two wives.

Thomas Holeman, for nearly one decade, was neighbor of Daniel Boone.

In 1768 Isaac HOLEMAN was on Morgan BRYAN's List of Taxables. Other HOLEMANs and HOLMANs on the list were Joseph, Thomas and Daniel. This was in forks of the Yadkin River, in southern Davie County. Morgan BRYAN's daughter Rebecca was the wife of Daniel BOONE.

The descendants of Thomas and Isaac Holeman did migrate from North Carolina to Kentucky and Tennessee. Until the 1794 defeat of the Shawnee Indians, settlers from North Carolina, for reasons of safety, would have followed Daniel Boone's "Wilderness Road" to reach Kentucky and East and Middle Tennessee. The "Wilderness Road" followed the Virginia-Tennessee border to the Cumberland Gap, and then went northwest to Boonesborough, Madison County, Kentucky. Other settlers used the road before it passed through the Cumberland Gap to reach East and Middle Tennessee.
