I'm trying to identify the parents of my g-grandmother, Catherine Cobb (called Katie). On December 21, 1871, Catherine Cobb married Samuel Taylor Holloway (son of Templeton M. Holloway and his wife Caroline) in Etowah Co., AL. Samuel Taylor and Catherine moved from Alabama to Natchitoches, LA, where their first child, Samuel Taylor Holloway Jr., was born March 13, 1876. Samuel Taylor (Sr.) died on October 3, 1878. Thirteen days later their second child, Clara E. Holloway (my grandmother) was born in Natchitoches on Oct 19, 1878. A mixture of family tradition and documented facts describes how Catherine, after the death of her husband, took the two children back to the area of Burnt Corn, Alabama, and stayed in the home of her father-in-law, Templeton M. Holloway. The following spring, on April 9, 1879, Catherine died. It's possible that she may have been buried on what is now the old Garrett place near Awin, AL. The children were raised by their grandparents until the death of Templeton on March 20, 1883. James Abraham Holloway, a brother of Samuel Taylor Sr., eventually took the children into his home until they were old enough to be on their own. A few of Templeton's descendants include: 1 - Templeton Marion Holloway I d. 20 Mar 1883 sp- Eliza Grimes m. 5 Dec 1842 d. 15 Jul 1855 2 - Almira A.
