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]
