I do see the Holloway name in next door Brunswick along with another possible related cousin type Wilson family who ended up in Gibson Co TN in 1840s and whose funeral there was paid for by our Wilson of that generation. I am thinking this is an old (not quite anchent planter family and the Holloways also were an early family. I see the name quite early. That would mean the Holloways could have gone all sorts of directions without really loosing touch as could the Wilsons. I suspect Bacon's Rebellion to be a factor in all of this. Have tried to work both up this family and down...lots of suggestion, no absolute proof earlier than 1719. The Braswell family seemed almost a lighting rod for Bacon's followers. Unusal because the first generation was an Angilcan priest in Isle of Wight. He had one dau, whose husband (Stokes) was hung in the Rebellion, one son-in-law William West who was captured and escaped long enough for the climate to change regarding the English view of the Rebels. There was a James Wilson who was also hung and may have been the father or grandfather of our William who married the granddau of the Anglican priest, Braswell. There were several others who I would have to look up after Christmas. The Cottons were very involved with our Wilsons and John Cotton's wife Ann/An of New Kent VA wrote a surviving letter about the Rebellion to someone in England. One of our William Wilson's grandaus married one of Ann Cotton's grandsons in Halifax NC. > > ESTATE RECORDS > 1 John Holloway d 1799 - instate - children were Vincent, James, John, > Edmond, Shadrack, Lizzy, and Eley - widow was Mary - Mary died soon after > and Vincent and James became administrator.
