I’m Steven D Holloway,1957 63. My Grand Father was John C. Holloway 1850, And great Grandfather., Joseph Clyde Holloway approx 1825. My dad was very close mouthed about our family history and it was worse than having a tooth pulled to get him to talk about it. So I only have unverified tid bits of info. If anyone who has information reguarding any of these Holloway’s I would greatly appreciate an email. I was told that we moved from Mirkel Tx via
covered wagon to Alabama. An aunt of mine told me vaguely that she an her brother traveled to with there father. Mother had passed from a fever. she lived to be 102 passed away. 2009. I would dearly love to know more. Thanks SDH40254@GMAIL.COM
