Vicki, Your Tennie was probably born after 1850.............I suggest that you check out the 1850, 60, 70, & 80 census records for Caldwell & the surrounding counties. I know there were several Holloways in Caldwell during those years. Tennie may have been a nickname. Or he may be listed under a different (but similar) name in the census records. Keep trying................you will find him!
