General Notes: Wife - Judith Hendry
James Holloway was the fifth child of William and Orpha Holloway. He was born in 1805 in Bulloch County, Georgia. He was married to Judith Nancy Hendry about 1835. She was the fourth child of John Hendry and Catherine McFail (McPhail). She was born April 16, 1817, in Liberty County, Georgia.
James Father moved his family to Thomas County in 1827, in the area that is now a part of Brooks County. In 1859 James and Judith made their move to Florida. They settled in Alachua County. Their daughter, Nancy and her husband, Joseph Harrell and their three children, John Quincy, James Madison and Mary Jane made the move with them. James was a farmer, growing crops that enabled the family to live off the land mostly. For income he probably planted cotton, as most of the farmers did at that time.
All of their children came to Florida with them except Shadrach. He would have been about fifteen at the time. It is believed that he had already died at that time as no record of him has been found.
The exact time of their death is not known. They are buried in the old Bradford Cemetery in Bradford County, Florida.
They had eight children.

General Notes: Child - Nancy HOLLOWAY
Nancy was the second child of James and Judith Hendry Holloway. She was born on March 26, 1838 in Thomas County, Georgia. She married Joseph Colley Harrell on December 23, 1852, in Thomas County, Georgia. They lived in Lowndes (now Brooks) County near Joseph's family. They continued with farming as both of their families before them.
In the later part of 1859 Nancy's parents decided to make a move to Florida. Nancy and Joseph decided to join them in the move. They traveled together by wagon bringing as much of their possessions as possible. At the time they had three children, John Quincy, James Madison, and Mary Jane. Mary Jane was only several months old at the time.
The Holloway family settled in Alachua County. The Harrell family settled in New River County (now Bradford). Their new home was near the small community of Pine Hill, now known as Brooker. He built a log house and soon was farming on quite a large homestead. Nancy had seven more children after their move to Florida. She was quite a busy lady caring for her large family. She kept old spilling wheel busy creating fabric that she would be sewing into clothing for her family. Much of the sewing done at that time was by hand. The girls had only one good dress at a time. Sometime it would take a year to make a dress from spinning cotton to finishing. They grew their own cotton. They practically lived off the land. Joseph died on October 30, 1908. Nancy died on May 4, 1918.They are buried at New Hope Cemetery, near LaCrosse in Alachua County.
The Hendry family moved further south. Hendry County, Florida is named for this family.
