Hi! My information on Bremillion (a direct ancestor in my line) is that his father was Thomas HOLLOWAY bc 1747 who was married 3 times and had 19 children. He was a large property owner in Orange and Wake counties, NC. This information came from the History of Rhea County, TN compiled by Bettye J. Broyles 1991. Thomas (Bremillion's father) was a store keeper/property owner in Orange Co, NC. My sister and I joined the Daughters of the American Revolution through him because he aided with supples during the Revolution. His father was also Bremillion HOLLOWAY who m. Mrs. Joanna Caine 5 Ot 1782 in Orange Co. and also Lydia Bryant c1780-1870. Thomas' children from his 1st and 2nd marriages are Thomas Jr, Fanny, James H., Bremillion, Samuel, Polly/Mary, Lucy, David, William, Elizabeth, Nancy Hannah, Ann/Joanna, Agatha/Agness. Issue from 3rd marriage (Lydia BRYANT) were John (b Orange co NC), Williamson Bryant, Sarah, Lydia Caroline, and Milly. This information came from his will and from a book, Grandfather was always a Very old man. Hope this helps and hope this John is the same one.
