Saw your message on Holloway, LA, and I am curious, too, about that town's history--especially how it got that name.
What I do know is that my Holloway line (James S. & Martha Owen (Spencer) Holloway) went from VA to KY after the Revolution. One of their grandsons moved his family to MS about 1830.Most of his descendents settled in the Choctaw and Montgomery County area (N.Central MS), but at least one son moved to Louisiana after the Civil War.I haven't really tried to look for his descendents yet.
I have come across records of other Holloway lines that moved from VA to NC/GA, then AL and finally MS.Maybe some of their descendents moved on to Louisiana, too.Julia
