Posted on: Pulaski Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Pulaski/10371 Surname: King, Holloway ------------------------- Searching for John Samuel King and Ellen Virginia Holloway. John Samuel born about 1860. Had children, John, Robert, Charles, Albert, Druce, Blanche, and Rose. Ellen died giving birth to Rose and was supposedly buried in what has been called in the family as the Pulaski City Cemetary. I have no idea which one that is. She is said to have been born and raised in Pulaski. After her death, the children were partially raised by relatives. John was raised by an Uncle Lee who is said to have lived on the family farm. As you can see, I have very little to go on. I need a hint of where John Samuel King or Ellen Virginia Holloway came from in order to keep going. I've hit a major brick wall. The family is said to have settled in the Anthony's Creek area. I see an Anthony's Creek close to Pulaski and also an Anthony's Creek in Greenbrier Co. WV. Any ideas? Thanks, Candy Savage
