Excuse me; Mary; But, Donna is correct, your William Holloway is not our William Washington Hollowell who is buried beside his wife, my Grand aunt Sallie West Crocker in the Paris Memorial cemetery, Paris, Lafayette County Ms. People confuse the Hollowell and Holloway spelling all the time. Our William Washington Hollowell was bn exactly when Donna Hollowell told you, she is the Family Historian of the HOLLOWELL FAMILY of LAFAYETTE CO. MS. Donna is very though in her reseach and checks her sources before passing information on. Try looking in the Lafayette county cemetery indexs for your Wm. HOLLOWAY. Bill Ward, Can you help Mary find Wm. Holloway in the cemteries books? Blessing Eveline Crocker Paris, Ms. Grand neice of Sallie West Crocker and Wm Washington Hollowell.

I've been searching for a William Hollowell/Holloway b. 1835 d. Unknown, buried Unknown. William Holloway is listed on the 1860 Lafayette County, MS. census with his wife Nancy b. 1839; Daughter Drucilla b. 1859; (my great-grandmother) then on the 1870 Lafayette county census Nancy is listed with Drucilla b. 1859, Emily b. 1860, William b. 1862. No mention of the father's wereabouts. When Drucilla married in 1873 to Polk Johnson, her name is listed on the Lafayette county marriage book as Loucella Hollowell. I know somebody out there has William Hollowell/Holloway in there tree. You say it's not your William. How many could there be born in that era? and in that vicinity? Just looking for answers.
