First-hand information as remembered by Phil Richardson, Saturday, January 18, 2014. Replace this citation if there is another source.'

The Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 72 - 1802 We are particularly sorry to record the untimely death of a most promising young naval officer, the only son of a brave and worthy Admiral John Holloway, who died lately on-board the Narcissus, during her passage from Leghorn to Palermo. Mr. Holloway was scarcely 13 years of age. but had served four years and an half actually at sea. He was on-board the Venerable with Capt. Hood in the actions at Algizares, and off Cadiz; and, in his letter to Admiral Holloway, Captain Hood was pleased to say “Your boy behaved as he ought." Mr. Holloway was buried with becoming honours, by the permission of his Sicilian Majesty, in a grotto-garden at Palermo, near the remains of a British minister, Beaminster. They who best know the father will lament that so fair and correct a copy of his professional merit is thus lost to our country.
