Died:
John was shot and scalped by Indians five leagues from the Fort of Natchez in October 1781. At the time, he was apparently working as "an overseer" of the plantation of John Havard.

1781- Oct. - John Holloway is killed by "Indians" and his wife survives with the children. John Holloway was apparently working at the time as "an overseerer" for the plantation of John Havard. In one version of the story says that George Holloway, John's son, actually saw the killing. George is said to have written about this in his later years after he returned to live with his uncle, William White, in Burke County, North Carolina. There is some suspicion that the Nellie Price settled her dispute with John with this killing.

John married Elizabeth White about 1765. Elizabeth (daughter of James* Taylor White and Elizabeth* Powe (Poe) (Pou)) was born about 1745 in Culpeper Co, Virginia; died on 31 Aug 1817 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In Oct 1681, first husband John Holloway was shot and scalped by Indians five leagues from the Fort of Natchez. At the time, he was apparently working as "an overseer" of the plantation of John Havard. Son George was tied with a rope but escaped during the night, and around 1782, when still a teenager, moved to Burke Co NC to live with Elizabeth's brother, William and father James Taylor White. Her other six children remained with her. In May 1682, some of her brothers and their familes arrive by flatboat at Natchez.

Her other six children remained with her. In May 1682, some of her brothers and their families arrive by flatboat at Natchez.

All three of her children by John Stilley are baptized on Nov 7, 1788 by Sr. Miguel Lamport of the Catholic Church. Miguel is referred to as Miguel Washington born Sep 3, 1786. In the Stilley bible, he is referred to as Michael Lamport Stilley. Spanish records refer to Elizabeth as "Isobel".

After remarrying, Elizabeth lived in Natchez where her husband is said to have owned a tavern. When he went bankrupt about 1795 they moved to the Tombigbee River, Mobile.

In the mid-1790's, her sons John and James Holloway, along with a nephew Reuben White (1765?-1835) and his family, moved into northeastern Rapides Parish LA, which became known as Holloway Prairie, where they obtained Spanish land grants and engaged in the cattle business. Many of the Anglo families of the Deville area came there from Natchez, Mississippi. John and James Holloway appear upon several 1790's Spanish Colonial documents and militia lists.

JAMES TAYLOR WHITE OF VIRGINIA, by Gifford White" James Taylor White" is first recorded in Orange County, Virginia when he and William White made bond for Rebecca Chissum to be administratrix of John Chissum, deceased. William White was a constable for Orange County in 1740. On January 23, 1745 James Taylor White was appointed one of the overseers of road gangs from Hazle Rivers upwards to the Great Mountains`. Culpeper County was formed from Orange County in 1748. The following year James Taylor White was paid 154 pounds of tobacco for attending court as a witness in Orange County for coming nine miles here from Culpeper County`. Two land records from Lord Fairfax are recorded on June 26, 1749 for 217 acres on Gourd Vine Fork and Hazel River. The second was on October 8, 1750 also on Gourd Vine Fork in the County of Culpeper. Indian trouble in western Virginia in the 1750`s caused many settlers to leave. This may be the reason James Taylor White moved to Craven County, South Carolina. Land records dated March 29, 1757 gives James Taylor White 300 acres in the Welch Tract, Craven County. Another record records 300 acres in Craven County dated November 8, 1757. November 18, 1761 James and his wife, Elizabeth Powe sold 200 acres to Malachi Saunders.From the Cashaway Baptist Church Record Book 1756-1778` at Furman University Library, Greenville, South Carolina: Sat 25 Oct 1760 . . . Mr. James White for excess drinking be suspended from this church until satisfaction be given . . . 20 June 1767 . . . on Cashaway Neck on Pee Dee in Craven County. The names of all the members . . .

Prior to the Revolutionary War, trouble with the British caused many people to leave South Carolina. The White family moved to Burke County, North Carolina. All of the Whites appear on lists of witnesses against Tories in trials that were held in North Carolina about 1782."

Notes:

I recently found a inheritance to James Taylor White from James Whyte in Culpeper Co., VA dated 1742. The file was found on a trip to the University of Virginia. So, it appears that James Whyte died in Culpeper County about that time. It is believed, but not verified. that James Whyte was born in Isle of Whyte County, Virginia and that his father arrived there from Glorchestershire, England.
