I'm looking for information on the William Holladay family in Madison County, MO. I would like to know if anyone knows who his parents were. He was born on February 15, 1814 in Tennessee (according to Madison MO 1850 census), and died January 07, 1859 near Fredericktown. He is buried in the Old Fredericktown cemetery with no marker. He married Jane W. Tong on March 03, 1833 in Madison County. She was born April 02, 1815 in Ohio County, Kentucky and died December 05, 1863 near Fredericktown. She is also buried in Fredericktown Cemetery with no marker. Her parents were William Tong and Elizabeth Thomason. Their children were all born in Madison County Missouri: Thomas Holladay - b. March 04, 1834 d. July 31, 1904 in Madison County Missouri (he was a judge and served as State Auditor) Franklin Holladay, Sr. - b. January 26, d. June 01, 1920 in Wayne County Missouri Louisa E.

July 09, 1911 Austain Holladay - b. March 28, 1856 d. November 30, 1857 These dates are from my great grandmother's bible. She was Willa Olla (Tong) Holladay. Her father was Andrew Tong b. August 08, 1838 d. August 10, 1908. Her mother was Rebecca Hasseltine (McCreary) Tong b. February 27, 1842 d. July 10, 1912. Andrew Tong's parents were Theodore Frederick Tong b. June 29, 1787 d. November 04, 1863 and Drucilla Robinson b. May 06, 1793 d. August 21, 1850. Theodore and Jane were half brother and sister. I also would like to know who Rebecca McCreary's parents were. According to oral family history Willa (Tong) Holladay had an aunt that owned a Hotel in Fredericktown in the early 1900's. The aunt had a son or an adopted son named Frank LeSouse or Lesous. Who was a friend or a cousin of a Tinus or Thinious McCreary who was also a relative. Not sure of the spelling of Franks last name or of the first name of the McCreary boy. Willa Olla Tong married Franklin Holladay, Sr. in Wayne County Missouri on December 08, 1896. William Holladay and his son Franklin Holladay were in the freight business. They hauled lead from Mine La Monte to St. Genevieve to be loaded on boats there. William also farmed. William and Franklin went to California in 1849 or 1850 and William came back after about two years. Franklin Holladay stayed until the late 1880's or early 1890's. Any information on these families would be greatly appreciated.
