George F. Holloway
(1856-1882), son of Asa and Rebecca Holloway
Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, Pike County, Alabama
John Wilson Holloway (1872-1892),
son of Asa and Rebecca Holloway
Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, Pike County, Alabama
These Holloways are buried in the same plot with Asa and Rebecca:
Barbara Holloway
Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, Pike County, Alabama
W. F. Holloway
Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, Pike County, Alabama
Asa and Rebecca are found on the 1860 Census in Montgomery
County with Julia A. E. 7, Mary A. 6, George F. 3, and Louisa 6/12; and on the
1870 Pike County Census with Mary J. 16, George 14, Louisia 10, Wiliam H. 8, and
Evie R. 4. 1880 Pike Census shows Rebecca, widow, with William 18, John 8, Della
6, Asa 3, son-in-law Carter J. Preston 23, and his wife Louisa, 20.
I can find no Census record of W. F. Holloway. His DOB would indicate that he
may be Asa's brother.
Barbara, whom I believe to be Asa's mother, appears on the 1880 Pike County
Census, widow, 84, born in Georgia, father and mother born in Virginia. The 1850
Troup County, Georgia Census, lists Norwell Holloway 56 (blacksmith), Barbara
54, Harriet 20, L. B. Fuller 19 (hireling) and Thomas H. Jones (age 1, born in
Virginia, relationship unknown). The 1880 Pike Census shows Barbara as mother in
the household of widowed daughter Harriet Hunter. The ages of the Pike County
Harriet and Barbara match the ages of the Troup County Census. I have
tentatively concluded that Asa Holloway Sr. was the son of Norwell and Barbara
Holloway. Norwell Holloway also appears on the 1830 Monroe County, Georgia,
Census. There is a William Holloway in Monroe County in 1830, possibly Norwell's
brother. The 1860 Troup County, Georgia, Census (West Point) lists the family of
F. Holloway 74, and Eliza 64: M. J. 27, S. 25. F. Holloway was born in Virginia.
1860 Troup County also shows S. Holloway 40, born in Georgia, female, presumably
a widow, with H. 22, Asa 21, R. 20, Cephus 19, Catarine 15, and Anthony 14. It
seems that the family of Asa Holloway Sr. originated in Virginia, thence to
Monroe County, Georgia.
