Research Notes
Holloways of the South and Allied Families p. 617 -
- "James Holloway has been the subject of extensive investigation by L. V. Downs, from whom much of the data in this section comes. His work on early members of this family is well documented. His work on later members of the family is based on extensive contact with member of the families of this line.
- "Although Mr. Downs has adduced evidence only for Christa Holloway and Edmund Holloway to show that they are children of James of Pittsylvania County, the authors of this present volume believe that they have strong circumstantial evidence to indicate that all of the children listed in this generation are, indeed, children of James."

Holloway-215 and Holloway-2180 appear to represent the same person because: these look like a match based on maiden name & married name, but that's not a lot to go on. Please take a look and merge if you have additional information that might support that they're the same person. Thanks!
