Carol, Which Holloway are you working on? Mine, Martha(Patsy) Halloway/Holloway, dau of Obediah Holloway and Elizabeth ? Martha (born in Rockingham Co. NC 1790) married Wm. Bucy, 1808 in NC. Both Wm. and Martha died in Calloway Co. KY. They had 8 or 9 children to my knowledge. Joan Southwick

hello Joan... My HOLLOWAY(s) connect through Ancestor, John "Minter" HOLLOWAY b. 1782 NC and wife, Margery PATE b. 1782 VA. Actually we are not sure about Minter being born in NC, since the state lines were being redrawn at the time of his birth, so he could have been born in TN, but somewhere around the Cumberland Gap. Minter and Margery were last recorded on the 1860 Pope Co, IL Census, residing with the Sistler family (aka:Sitzler), they were already quite elderly for that generation. We do not know if they died in Pope County, or if they moved with their sons to other states. Included with their descendants, we also have connection with Burton Williamson HOLLOWAY, and Bremillion HOLLOWAY (VA/TN). Burton migrated about the same time with his wife and children, as Minter, Margery and the SISTLER/ SITZLER families. Two of Minter and Margery's children married into SISTLER before they migrated. I believe that Minter Holloway is the son of William "Billey" HOLLOWAY b. 1754 VA and Frances MEADOR b. 1750 VA. I have about 22 William HOLLOWAY(s) between 1729-1890, so we really have to watch the locations and birth dates to avoid hysteria-confusion. I have one Obediah HOLLOWAY, son of William HOLLOWAY b. 1734 VA and Martha BALLARD b. 1735 VA (confirmed DAR records, 1998). I show they had 7 children, but all are not proven. I have no further info on Obediah, so if this is the right person, then I would appreciate you sharing what you have, so I can get on the research trail with you. I don't show anything under the spelling of BUCY...could there be a different spelling variation? Thanks for coming forward with this...there is always hope as long as we all keep digging and are willing to share.
