Funny. Today, 28 April 2023, as I'm looking at my Holloway ancestry on paper and on Wiki Tree, I began to think that Holloway #6963 and Holloway #2563 are the same man. I am happy to see that you have requested a merge of them just four days ago. Elijah and Elizabeth are my fifth great-grandparents. Their son, Lemuel, is my fourth great-grandfather.
