Research Notes:
1817 The will of Isaac Holloway was produced in court in Coshocton County, Ohio. The will was dated September 20, 1816. The will named wife Elizabeth and heirs John, Jane, Samuel, Lucinda, Tacy, Maria, Mary, and Amos and mentioned land purchased from Doctor Allen, to be optional with "my son John and his mother". Letters of administration were issued to wife Elizabeth Holloway and son John Holloway, executors. [6] The estate inventory included spinning wheels, loom, and woolen wheel. [7] Note that Amos and Samuel were also names of Isaac's brothers.
Samuel Holloway (born c 1766 in Virginia, died in 1853 in Madison County, Alabama) is from a different Holloway ancestry, according to Y-DNA results. [8]

(Hopewell Minutes p. 109)
Crooked Run Monthly Meeting was set up in 1782 and Isaac and family doubtless were within the limits of that Monthly Meeting and became members of it at its beginning, for we find the following records of removal on the minutes of Crooked Run Mo. Mtg. Its location was on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains a few miles south of Winchester, Va.7 Mo. 30, 1785, Amos Holloway takes certificate to South River.
9 Mo. 5, 1788, William Holloway certificate to South River.
9 Mo. 29, 1791, Asa Holloway and Mary Holloway, Jr., take certificate to South River.
5 Mo. 9, 1793, South River Mo. Mtg. received a certificate for Isaac Holloway, Sr., and two children, Abner and Sarah, from Crooked Run.
Mary not having a certificate with her husband may have died before the family went to Bedford and Campbell Counties, Va.
The Stafford County, Virginia Court Records for 1809 have the following, viz :—
Last Will and Testament of Isaac Holloway deceased, proved by the oaths of witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded. Sara Holloway and Nathan Holloway, relict and son of said Isaac Holloway, relinquished their right to administer the said estate and the said Sara by her instrument in writing relinquished the provision made for her in the said Will.
Aaron Holloway qualified as Administrator, with the Will annexed of the said Isaac Holloway, deceased, and gave bond and security according to law.
Appraisers were appointed to allot the said Sara Holloway her dower.
Many of the Stafford County records have been destroyed and the record of the will could not be found, but it is our belief that this was Isaac (29). That he had come back to Stafford County near his son Nathan and that he had married the second time.
Amos Holloway, (45) son of Isaac Holloway, (29) born Sept. 4, 1759 in New Jersey; died Dec. 1842, Stark County, O.; m. Hepzibah Staunton Oct. 20, 1785. She was the daughter of William and Phoeba Staunton. She was born Jan. 15, 1770 on the Island of Nantucket; died Aug. 1824.
