The wife of Henry Holt was Sarah, daughter of William Ballard, who came with Nicholas Holt in the ship James, in 1635.
The William Ballard who sailed on the James in 1635 is "William Ballard of Lynn," who was not the father of Sarah Ballard, wife of Henry Holt.  The father of Sarah Ballard, wife of Henry Holt, is William Ballard of Andover, who came on the Mary and John in 1634.
