Hi June,   Thank you. I have this already but there is no proof to Elizabeth Brocus. I do see  the  Ann Elizabeth Lewis.    This is what I posted today to other mailing lists. I am trying to find these deeds but Spotsylvania wasn't formed until 1720 so the 1711 deed is in another county I guess. But the 1724 deed for Elizabeth should be in Spotsylvania. A deed of 1729 is the first I have found in that county. Here it is :   Would anyone know where I could find this deed ? John Holladay received 400 acres of land. He moved from lower Virginia on Pamusky River to Spotsylvania County ten miles above N. Wales in 1711. His wife, Elizabeth received 400 acres in 1724 in St. George's Parish. I am hoping this might identify Elizabeth.   The earliest land grant I have found is dated 1 Sep 1729: James Taylor of Drysdale Par., Caroline County, to John Holloday of St. George's Parish, 36 curr., 260 acres on the E. side East North East River, part of a pat. granted sd Taylor 21 Jul 1722 in St. George's Parish, Spts. Co. Rec. 1 Apr 1729 Book A in Spotsylvania County..    Also....John Marshall Holladay's son Joseph married Elizabeth " Betty" Lewis daughter of Harry Lewis. Joseph Holladay had a son Lewis who married Elizabeth  (Lewis) Littlepage , widow of Col. James Littlepage. She was a daughter of Zachary Lewis and Mary Waller Lewis according to Hayden. Their son Waller Holladay married Huldah Fontaine Lewis. She is the daughter of Col. Zachary and Ann Overton (Terrill) Lewis.   They lived at Prospect Hill in Spotsylvania Co., Va.    Marianne Dillow    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    --- On Sat, 1/10/09, cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> wrote: From: cpzb4@aol.com <cpzb4@aol.com> Subject: [VACULPEP] Holladay To: VACULPEP-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, January 10, 2009, 7:23 PM I am not related to this family but have a FTM record on John Marshall Holladay, Sr.?

Susannah Holladay born 1728? died 10/12/1795 in Caroline Co., VA This FTM goes back as far as John Halyday born abt. 1400 in Hampton Manor, Somersetshire, England. ================================================================================ I also found another document stating in John Marshall Holladay Sr.'s will his plantation on East N.E. Creek in the S.W. part of Spots. Co, VA on which he lieved, died and was buried as that on which his great grandson Lewis Holladay lived died and was buried as was his great grandson Lewis Holladay lived died and was buried? and so was Waller his great grandson was born and reared. The site of the dwelling and the graves of John and his wife Elizabeth is several hundred yards from the residence of Lewis H. and of his great grandson Dr. Lewis L.H. before he removed to Orange Co. The latter was called Bellefonte from a fine spring near the dwelling house. Have more but to long for the Culp Co site June ?   

Marianne, I wonder if the "Pamusky" river you have listed might be a misspelling of the "Pamunky" river? If it is, then you may find info in Caroline and/or Hanover Counties. The Pamunkey headwaters begin and flow through those counties on its trip to become the York River. >This is what I posted today to other mailing lists.

Thanks Roy,    I think it might be Pamunkey too. I didn't know where it was located back at that time. I haven't studied the land in those early counties.   I appreciate your answer. :)   Marianne Dillow --- On Sat, 1/10/09, Hist Docs <gendocs@msn.com> wrote: From: Hist Docs <gendocs@msn.com> Subject: Re: [VACULPEP] Holladay To: mdillow31@verizon.net, vaculpep@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, January 10, 2009, 8:22 PM Marianne,   I wonder if the "Pamusky" river you have listed might be a misspelling of the "Pamunky" river?  If it is, then you may find info in Caroline and/or Hanover Counties.  The Pamunkey headwaters begin and flow through those counties on its trip to become the York River.        >This is what I posted today to other mailing lists.
