Son of George HOLLOWAY and Mary EMLEY. John moved with his parents in 1783 to NC, and to Mercer Co., KY in 1788. After his marriage, John lived in Clark Co., KY until moving to Winchester, Morgan (now Scott) Co., IL in 1828. John's War of 1812 service is noted by various family members as follows. He was commissioned Adjutant of the Clark Co., KY Corn Stalk Militia on Apr. 26, 1800, and as Ensign on Aug. 20, 1808 (service qualifying descendants for membership in the United States Daughters of 1812). In 1813 John was a 2nd Lt. in Capt. Allen A. HAMILTON's Company of Infantry in Mounted Regiment Kentucky Volunteers commanded by Col. Richard M. JOHNSON (War of 1812). His military record, found under the names of HOLIDAY, HOLLODAY, and HOLLIDAY, gives his service dates as May 20 to Nov. 19, 1813, and his promotion date from 3rd to 2nd Lt. as 20 July 1813. Son George, in a Scott County History biographical sketch says John served in the War of 1812. John's granddaughter Lucy Eveline HOLLOWAY states in a notarized letter in 1930 that "I am the youngest child of George HOLLOWAY, who was the youngest child of John HOLLOWAY. I know it to be true that my grandfather John HOLLOWAY served in the War of 1812. I have always known this to be a fact, from a child...."
