Judy, what a wonderful family find. I know how excited you must be. I have followed your research with interest due to the marriage of Lucretia Walker to Thomas Holloway. Right now I find no connection with Thomas to my two Holloway lines INy two Holloway lines may merge back in VA., but I have not been able to find the connection regarding parents of Reuben Holloway (ca 1750 - 1808 d. Edgefield Dist, SC) to make the connections yet. In reading the info. in the "Quill", I thought I would check "Edgefield Death Notices and Cem. Records" by Carlee McClendon to see if the ones who died in Edgefield were mentioned. I noted the following: Regarding the death date of Ann Walker Mays, which you gave in the Quill as 12 Feb. 1841, the following obit gives Feb. 12, 1841: "Died, in Edgefield District on Feb. 12, 1841, Mrs. Ann Mays, wife of W. B. Mays, Esq. She was a kind wife and mother" [The Edgefield Advertiser, April 8, 1841 as published in "Death Notices and Cem. Records" by Carlee McClendon.] As for W. B. Mays whose date of death in the Quill is given as Feb. 15, 1846, the following obit gives it as Feb. 18th: "Died, in Edgefield District, on Sunday, Feb. 18, 1846, Captain W. B. Mays, in the 53rd year of his age" [The Edgefield Advertiser, March 4, 1846 as published in "Death Notices and Cem. Records" by Carlee McClendon.] These seem to be the only ones who died in Edgefield Dist. Would appreciate comments on the discrepancy in the dates of death and why your determined the dates that you have, as I know you have put much research into these folks. Another question: Who is the Sophia Holloway b. Oct 9, 1808. I was getting ready to attach her as a daughter of Thomas and Lucretia Walker Holloway, but Lucretia died in 1803 per the records. I have Samuel of the Bible records as one of their sons, but cannot identify Sophia. Also cannot identify from my research the Lewis and Rachel Sims. Did Rachel Walker remarry?
