Since no
records can truly confirm the lineage of this group of
Holloways
several researchers have deduced these individual may be
related in the
following manner based on naming similarity & order,
land records
near other persons of the same name, legal entanglements
and other
associations.

Edward
Holloway,
King and Queen Co., VA

line., Wit: Thomas Taylor,

Rachael is involved
in a
number of lawsuits with a John, William and George. Charles
Holloway
also gives a bond to the Robert Hollaway estate along with
Rachael
Holloway. [Caroline Co., Deder Book, Part II, page 135 (March
11
1748/9), ]
Several researchers,
Lisabeth Hollaway and this writer (EC),think these lawsuits
lead to a
number of inferences that John, William and George were
brothers of
Robert rather than his children. At best Rachael may be the
second or
later marriage and the men who sue her may be her step sons
from her
Robert's earlier marriage.
