The Census of the
Natchez District in 1792. The census is translated from the Spanish handwritten
records. The following were all located in the "Second Y Sandy Creek" subdivision: Juan (John) Holladay; 0 arpents, 1 White [himself], no Blacks. Tonio (Tony) Howard; 400 arpents [336 acres], 6 Whites , 5 Blacks, translated differently. Guillermo (William) Glascok; 200 arpents [178 acres], 4 Whites, 1 Black. "Jaime Glascock" appeared in the "SC [St. Catherine's]" subdivision on a Head of Household Index [found on a different website]. |

On Sep 3, 1793 Simpson Holmes, a brother of
Elizabeth Hooper gave a deposition in which
he asked William about a foot race "at Simon Holmes'" involving
"Mr. Cobb" and "the Smiths" [McBee, Book F,
p. 267]. |

In the mid-1790's, John Holloway and brother James, along with their cousins,
Reuben White
(1765?-1835) and James T. White
(1767?-1783?), and their families, moved into what became known as Holloway
Prairie. This is where they obtained Spanish land
grants and engaged in the cattle business. Many of the Anglo families of the area
came there from Natchez. John is recorded in the mid 1790's as being in Post du
Rapid, a Spanish post that became Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Holloway Prairie was
located between the present town of Deville and the parish seat, Alexandria, which
was laid out in 1807. Presently, there is a small town named Holloway there. |

The names John and James Holloway appear in several 1790's Spanish Colonial documents
and militia lists. On Oct 30, 1798 John and James gave an oath of loyalty to the
United States as the Natchez district became part of a US Territory (Mississippi
was not admitted to the Union of States until 1817). Also in these records, in
Jun 1795, A "John Holloday" makes a deposition about some horses and a James Stewart
from Georgia. The significance is that the record, translated from Spanish, has
"Sig. John Holliday, 22 Jun, 1795. Before Wm. Cooper, Etc." [McBee. p. 288].
These names may all belong to the "Juan Holladay" who is counted in the 1792 Census
for the Second and Sandy Creek area of Natchez District. The family of this individual
does seem to matchup with later Rapides Parish census records for the
John Holloway who moved there afterwards. |

Rapides Parish was formed in 1807 by the Territory of Orleans government.
(see present day map
for location). |

At present, Holloway is a community in Rapides Parish LA. Its center is located
at the intersection of Hickory Grove Road, State Route 1207 and Route 28, about
14 miles NE of the parish seat of Alexandria, and 50 miles W of Natchez MS.
Holloway Methodist Cemetery is located just off of Hickory Grove Road at the end
of Slay Cemetery Road (see
present day map for location). There is also a Hickory Grove Cemetery also
known as Holloway Baptist Cemetery. |

Before 1820, son Thomas Jefferson married Nancy Brannon and had son James Burton
Glasscock born in AL about 1819, died about 1866 in Shelby AL. |

||||
|

1823 Tax Rolls for Claiborne Co. MS, on page 2, line 49, James Creek area,
with 1 poll (white person), no land and no slaves. . |
