Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AKB.2ACI/1048.1 Message Board Post: I noticed that you change your name from Donna Hollowell to Donna Hollowell, no offense intended intended. 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. Mary
