The primary book used for "Vermillion Holloway" is Genealogy of the Holloway Families by Olin Holloway. Unfortunately, Chapter 19 page 331 is not talking about Robert Vermillion Holloway, but his grandson Bremillion Holloway. So 1000+ trees on ancestry.com have incorrect information based on the book. Here is what [page 331] should have read...

Records
