This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hobbs, Hollowell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EVB.2ACI/911.1 Message Board Post: I concurr with the Hollowell information that you have posted. I would like to comment on two things though. Christian Hollowell's mother was Christian Stallings. Her parents were Elias Stallings and Christian ?? You also state that Luke Hollowell's second wife was a Byrum. It was actually Phoebe Byrum and the were married in 1795 in Chowan County. However you state that this is Luke's second wife. Who was the first? Now to the confusion of the Silas's...... Silas White married Elizabeth Forehand Hobbs on 8/31/1808 in Chowan County. She is the daughter of Moses Hobbs and Emily (Miley Walton) who is a brother to my direct line (Jesse Hobbs). Silas and Elizabeth had: Christian, Jacob, John, Jordan W, Mary J., Moses W., Silas (marring Mary Ann Byrum), Henry L., Elizabeth, and Charity. AS far as I have discovered on the Silas that married Christian Hollowell is that they were married abt. 1766 in Perquimans County. Christian being the daughter of John and Christian Stallings. I entertwine with the Hobbs and Hollowells MANY times over.
