Does anyone know who the Mary Holloway was that was living in the household
of William and Emeline Shoaf in 1860, Medina twp.? She was age 50 and born
in Maryland.
I have lost track of a Mary Watkins who married a William Holloway in
Delaware. The age would be about right for the Mary Watkins I'm looking
for. She was mentioned in the estate file of her sister "Ritty" in 1845,
Sussex Co., Delaware. The document stated:
"That the said RITTY WADKINS left to survive her several brothers and
sisters to wit: ANN WADKINS, THOMAS WADKINS, ALLEY married to WILLIAM
BANNING, MARGARET WADKINS, ELIZABETH married to ROBERT TAYLOR, MARY married
to WILLIAM H. HOLLOWAY, and CLEMENT WADKINS and the children of a brother
named WILLIAM WADKINS to wit: JOSIAH, WILLIAM H., JAMES T., JOHN W. and
ELIZABETH A. WADKINS her heirs at law. That the said ROBERT TAYLOR and
ELIZABETH his wife, WILLIAM H. HOLLOWAY and MARY his wife, WILLIAM BANNING
and ALLEY his wife, and CLEMENT WADKINS are non-residents of this state. "
All of those named above, (except William Watkins' daughter Elizabeth A.),
ended up in Green Hill or Independence, Warren County. The only ones I'm
not sure about are William and Mary Watkins Holloway. Some were in Ross
County, Ohio, before coming to Indiana - that is where Elizabeth Watkins
Taylor died in 1844. Her husband Robert Taylor came to Warren county after
the death of Elizabeth.
Any help on the Holloway's appreciated!
