Rewrite: Chapter 19, Genealogy of the Holloway Families

Date: [unknown] [unknown]
Location: Orange, North Carolina
Surname/tag: Holloway

The original title of Chapter 19 of "Genealogy of the Holloway Families" reads as Descendants of Vermillion Holloway, this was incorrect, it should have read “Descendants of Bremillion Holloway”. Bremillion was the grandson of Robert Vermillion Holloway, and the children listed are Bremillion’s children, not Roberts.

There are so many trees on Ancestry.com that have used Chapter 19 as a source and put the incorrect information into their tree as is. Then this incorrect has been copied to more and more trees… There are now over 900 trees that have some form of incorrect information within them. Kari Lemons will be writing a complete update on the two most used source books for the Orange County, NC Holloway family, which will provide the most accurate and up to date information based on documents, and DNA data. The other book used as a source is "Holloway's of the South", Edited by CJ Stevens. This book while mostly correct, starts with Thomas Holloway born 1747. The rewrite will start with Robert Vermillion Holloway born 1710 (father of Thomas) and will add more complete data of what is now known on all his children and descendants.

Here is the corrected page as it should have been written.
