Elizabeth is noted to be the daughter of Charles Williams by a descendant. ^[1]

It is likely Elizabeth was Holloway Key's second wife due to ages of a woman in the Key households in 1800, 1820 and possibly 1830.^{[2] [3]}

In 1830, the Holloway Kee family is in Humphreys Co., TN and there are two males age 5-10, two males 10-15, one male 15-20, one male 60-70 (Holloway), one female under age 5, two females 15-20, one female 20-30, and one female aged 40-50 (possibly Elizabeth, although her year of birth is calculated as 1799 from the 1850 census.) ^[4]

Benton County was formed out of Humphreys County in 1835.^[5]

A Holloway Kee, age between 50-60 (Holloway was 63) is found in the 1840 census of Benton County, living in a household with two males and one female between 15-20 years old and a female 30-40 years old (this age matches Elizabeth).^[6]

The family is noted in the 1850 census, consisting of Holloway (age 73), Elizabeth (age 51) and Susan (age 5).^[7] A Charles Key lived next door.

Her husband died in the last half of 1855, as Elizabeth applied for a sufficiency out of his estate on 9 Feb 1856.^[8]

She is likely buried in the Cole Cemetery in Camden, Benton Co. TN near Holloway.^[9]

Do you have a reference for the 1817 marriage date for Holloway and Elizabeth? Can you verify which children belong to this couple and which to a possible first wife of Holloway?
