Holloways were some of the earliest settlers in America.Three books that include info on pre-1800 families are listed below. Together they report there were three foci of Holloway settlers as early as 1635--in Massachusetts, New Jersey-Maryland and Virginia.
(1) "Colonial Cousins, being the history, genealogy, heraldry, homes and traditions of the family of HOLLOWAY and related families originating in the original shire of Charles River, now York County, Virginia" by Garland Evans Hopkins, privately issued in 1940.He reported he found evidence in England these Holloways were part of a family that had probably migrated (over 9 generations) from Middlesex to Oxfordshire to the London area.From there some went to Jamestown and Williamsburg.His book focuses on the branches that remained in Virginia.
(2) "Holloways of the Eastern Shore: 1066 to 1985", by Bessie C. Holloway (I don't have a record of the publication date), which includes much information about the first Holloway settlers in Maryland and traces their descendents from there south and west.
(3) "Genealogy of the Holloway Families" by Dr. Olin Holloway (I don't have a record of the publication date), which deals nearly exclusively with Quaker and northern branches of the family.
I found these in the library of the National Society of the DAR in Washington, D.C., but from other postings on this forum I believe people have found one or more of them in other libraries' genealogy sections around the country, too.If you are especially interested in Viriginia Holloways, let me know which names you are looking for.I may be able to help a little more, because that is where my Holloways lived until the 1780s.Julia Holloway
