Walter C. Holton, Jr. is a third-generation Winston-Salem lawyer whose legal lineage dates to 1878 when his grandfather (A. E. Holton), great uncles (John and Samuel Holton) and great aunt (Tabitha Ann Holton) were licensed to practice law by the North Carolina Supreme Court.  While her brothers were licensed on January 7, 1878, Tabitha’s admission occurred days later after the Court heard arguments for and against admitting the first female attorney in North Carolina and, in fact, in the South.  Portraits of both Tabitha and John hang in the Yadkinville Courtroom honoring their years of practice in Yadkin and Surry Counties.  A.E. Holton practiced in Winston-Salem and served as one of two United States Attorneys in North Carolina from 1897 to 1914, appointed by Presidents McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt.  Walter’s father (Walter C. Holton, Sr.) practiced law in Winston-Salem in the 1950’s and 60’s, later serving as an Assistant City Solicitor in Winston-Salem and as a candidate in 1968 for the newly created N. C. Court of Appeals.  His uncle (George Holton) also practiced law in Winston-Salem for many years, as did his sister Ann Holton Guill.
