A Holloway coat of arms is described in William Holloway and His Descendants, 1950, by Higginson, as: "Gules, a fesse ermine between three crescents argent. Crest, a demi-lion rampant, guardant purpure." This is described as one of eight Holloway coats of arms identified in Burke's General Armory. Does anyone have additional information on the description and history of the Holloway coats of arms? I was able to order a highly detailed graphic of the above described coat of arms on the Web through http://www.demon.co.uk/heritage/heraldry/ for $13.00. It arrived within 5 days as an email attachment and is similar to the one pictured on page xi of Higginson's book. William E. Holloway ggggggggrandson of William Holloway of Boston, MA, b1586 Somerset?, England p.s. Does anyone know with some certainty of the place of birth of my distant ancestor, Wm Holloway of Boston?
