Research Notes
This profile was previously linked as daughter of James Russell Holloway and Elizabeth Parsons, but no other details had been filled out. As there were many Holloway/Parsons marriages between cousins in York Co., it seems most likely that the profile when created in 2012 was intended to represent the Harriett Holloway who married Gilbert Insley about 1840. That Harriett Holloway was the daughter of Robert Holloway, Jr. and Hannah (Parsons) Holloway.
