Martha Frances Holloway
I'm seeking the parents of Martha Frances Holloway, known as either "Martha" or "Frances".She was b. in VA in 1822, m. 25 Oct 1844 Samuel Henry Holloway in Mecklenburg, VA, and had three children by him:Eugenia (6 in 1850), Mariah (4 in 1850) and James Marcellus (9 in 1860).A William Holloway posted bond for the marriage.
Martha Frances and Samuel Henry lived at least four years after marrying in Mecklenburg.They moved to Granville, NC by 1850.In 1853, Samuel Henry married his 2nd wife, Martha A. Walker, dau. of Edward Walker, in Mecklenburg, VA.We do not know if the first marriage ended in death or divorce.

A William Holloway who m. ELizabeth Kelly 1815 in Brunswick, VA is also a potential father. They lived "next to to Meck.Again, any help clarifying Martha Frances' parentage would be greatly appreciated.
