William R. Holloway Sr. (c1808-aft. 8 Jun. 1893) & Jane Black

William R. Holloway Sr. was born about 1808 in TN, and died after 8 Jun. 1893 in Comanche Co., TX. He married Jane Black, daughter of Jacob Black and his first wife, Mary Elizabeth Savage. Jane was born about 1814 in Union Co., SC, and died after 1880, either in Freestone or Comanche Co., TX. William and Jane were married in about 1832, presumably in Tuscaloosa or Fayette Co., AL, where both their families lived. Their eldest-known child was born about 1833 in Alabama. William and Jane were in Mississippi for the birth of their son William Randolph Jr. in 1844 (according to subsequent census records), and then in Attala Co., MS for the censuses of 1850 to 1870. Their son William Randolph married in Freestone Co., TX in 1873. William and Jane were then in Freestone County for the census of 1880, William appearing on the tax list there in 1882. The last evidence he was alive was 8 Jun. 1893 in Comanche Co., TX. One year earlier, on 8 Jun. 1892, William Holloway of Comanche County gave power of attorney to (his son) T. J. Holloway for purposes of selling his property in Hill Co., TX. In granting power of attorney, William described the property to be sold as 11 miles southeast from the town of Hillsboro on the waters of Brookins Branch, "being a part of a survey patented to the heirs of Samuel Holloway Deceased." William R. Holloway Sr. and his wife Jane Black were the parents of the following children.
