Parents Edward and Katherine lived in Prince George Co. VA after marrying.
A deed of gift from Edward's father-in-law,
Thomas Taylor , identifies his wife Katherine as the "wife of Edward Holloway
Jr. of Prince George County, Virginia" [Deed of Gift, Book 1713-28, Surry Co. VA].
The deed of May 14, 1728 in Surry Co. VA proved that they had married by then. |

On May 10, 1728, Charles Holloway, of
Prince George Co. VA, sold 100 acres of land to John Goodwyn of Surry
Co. VA, the son of 1728, Thomas Goodwyn.
This land was in Martins Brandon Parish, Prince George Co. VA,
bounded by Myery Meadow, "laid out of land left to John, Edward, and Charles Holoway
by their father, and is all of the part left to Charles Holloway... Signed,
Charles(x) Holloway". Witnesses were Thomas Goodwyn, Thomas Taylor, Jr.,
George Bagley. Thomas Taylor Jr. would be the son of
Thomas Taylor Sr., and brother of Katherine Taylor Holloway, the wife of
Edward Holloway Jr., who was a witness on the deed. |

Prince George County Virginia was formed in 1703 from a portion of Charles City
County (see present day map
for location). Originally, its southern boundary was the North Carolina line.
Prince George of Denmark was the husband of England's reigning Queen Anne. |

Son Robert may have married a woman named Rachel. On Mar 11, 1748, the court grants
a petition by Rachell Holloway to have administration of the estate of Robert
Hollaway [Caroline Co. Deed Book, Part II, p.135]. |
|||
|
In 1748, a Rachael Holloway is listed as Executor or administrator for decedent
Charles Holloway in Caroline County. This may be the older brother of Edward Sr.
Since Edward Sr., his sons Edward Jr., and Robert were all decceased, and son John
was still a child, Robert's wife would have been a logical executor. Rachel
could also be the wife of Robert the son of
Charles Holloway. |

|
Caroline County Virginia was formed
in 1728 from parts of Essex, King and Queen, and King William counties
(see present day map
for location). |
|||
|
On Dec 13, 1751, relating to a "suit in chancery", by George Holloway and agent
Racheal Holloway, it was decreed in Prince George County that the Negroes given
by William Holloway to his wife if living be sold and money arising divided among
the children of William Holloway and each party to pay their own cost.
Exactly three months earlier there was a suit of trespass against Rachell Holloway
in Prince George County. She was ordered to pay damages to John Mason,
John Robinson, and Martin Trice. |

|
Katherine's will was executed in Surry Co. VA in 1758. |
|||
|
Surry Co. VA was formed in 1652 from James City. It is adjacent to Prince George Co.
(see present day map
for location). |
