Sarah Holloway and Rev. John Noble from Spartenburg SC to Alabama
I am a GGG-Grandson of Rev. John Noble and Sarah HOLLOWAY, through their daughter Martha Patsy Noble, born about 1828, she married Elijah B. Skillman probably about 1840-42, we think maybe in Shelby County Alabama. Elijah and Martha (Noble) Skillman went on to settle in Tishomingo Mississippi. Martha and Elijah had five children: (1) Sarah Ann Losinda Skillman born 1842, (2) Isaac Thomas Skillman born 1845, (3) Mary Ann Skillman born 1847, (4) Lydia Ann Emeline Skillman born 1850, (5) Elijah Skillman, Jr. born 1852. Her husband Elijah Skillman died in 1854 in Tishomingo, and Martha came back to DeKalb County Alabama, and she remarried to a Hiram Nations in 1856, they had no children together. Hiram Nations her second husband died about 1861, and she appeared to remain a widow the rest of her days. Martha Patsy (Noble) Skillman-Nations, died on April 22, 1909 in Alabama City in Etowah County Alabama.
All of Martha and Elijah Skillman's children remained in Etowah and surrounding Counties of Alabama, except Sarah Ann Losinda (Skillman) Herring who went to Arkansas.
We know very little on the HOLLOWAY and Noble family, and Martha, any info you have on this family would be appreciated. Does anyone have any info on the parents of SARAH HOLLOWAY and her husband the Rev. John Noble.
Some of our distant cousins in Arkansas who also came from Martha Patsy Noble and Elijah Skillman, said their grandmother, Sarah Losinda Skillman a daughter of Martha was very dark skinned, had dark hair and dark eyes. Also in my family from Isaac Thomas Skillman, their son, the Native influence had been very dominant. The families have always said we were Native American. Do you know of any Native American history in the HOLLOWAY family? We are trying to track were this came from.
Thanks again for all your help, and any additional info on the family will be appreciated.
