I am also kin to Hollowells of Chowan County. My great-grandfather's name was also Noah Hollowell. I do not think he is the one who wrote the will as he was very poor. My great-grandfather's wife was Martha Goodwin Hollowell. His parents were Rufus N. Hollowell and Nora Virginia Ashley. Please contact me if there is any connection between your Hollowell and mine.
