*births and marriages listed in bible
record of Robert Holloway in Marsalis Book. copied from
information in a Bible owned by Flavia Goza James
I have very little
information on this family besides the list of children. The
three
Hollaway brothers, James, George and Robert, married women
from the
Porter family and were involved in a major lawsuit of Tillet
Porter.
(see James Lee Hollaway for more details)
Robert seems to have
been a farmer in Louisiana and later in Mississippi. He
probably
operated his plantation as a minor slave holder, although I
have no
confirmation of this.

Hollaway
Senior but Junior is probably here as well. Robt
senior fits the
60-70 year old.

1841 - Mississippi
State
Census.
Robert
Hollaway is listed in Franklin County. no township
listed.
Robert dies sometime
around 1846. Amanda Jane is living with James Lee Hollaway,
her uncle,
in 1850. There seems to have been a terrific epidemic of
possibly
cholera, dyptheria or yellow fever. Several of the Hollaway
and other
related families lost adults. Robert's brother George and his
wife, a
Pettedly family, Byrd family, all had children distributed to
various
Hollaway relatives as orphans all about the same time.
