MARTIN VAN BUREN HOLLOWAY, b. 1829, TN or AL. > ------------------------------- The naming of a son as Tillman Holloway MIGHT indicate a connection to Jordan Meekins Holloway, as one of his sons named a son Tillman. Jordan Meekins had a son Wiley b. ca 1803. Could Wiley and Willis be the same. I have several Wiley Holloways.
