From notes of Zerelda (Hudson) Holloway written about June 5, 1911. The original book is in the possession of Gladys Holloway Mobely: 'A few words concerning Clara Holloway Hill. Clara Holloway was a sister of John and George from England. Writer thinks she married in Samuel Hill in England and immigrated to America several years after her brothers did, and settled in Va and died there. [This is incorrect. She died in Smithfield, Henry Co., Kentucky.] They were wealthy in land and slaves, with all needful surroundings. Samuel Hill was a genuine Englishman with a large strong frame, and a persevering, overbearing temperament and an ungovernable temper, which caused his family much trouble. He was peculiar in his manner of treatment toward his servants and family: he was heard to say to his men 'Well! while we are resting we will go and roll logs;' the horses, were resting. He was clearing the ground for plowing and rolling logs to be burned. After the death of the old folks, the remainder of the family went to KY. to where the Holloways settled. They were parents of several children George, Henry, and sister Nancy, who married Samuel Picket [his name was William], there were others whose names are forgotten. Henry Hill, a son of Samuel and Clara Hill, married his cousin Elizabeth, daughter of John Holloway from England. The children of Henry and Elizabeth were Martha, Clemincia and Joseph. Martha, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth married Stephen Hill. They had the same name but not related. Clemincia died in Cal. and was single. Joseph married Bettie Hill, a niece of Stephen Hill, not related to each other. People should scatter and not marry of the same family live near each other. The Holloways liked their kin too much, and so many married their cousins.' According to Mabel Gaffney's note Zerelda married into the family and moved to Mo. within 2 or 3 years of the time Henry Hill left on the Oregon Trail. Henry's son, Joseph Littlewood Hill, and Zerelda's husband ran a blacksmith shop together. Her married name was Hill.

     Dr. William Holloway witnessed The name of HOLLOWAY is said to be of ancient Saxon origin and to have been taken by its first bearers because of their residence at a place so called at the time of the adoption of surnames in England. Its meaning is 'the hollow or hole way'. The name is found on ancient English and early American records in the various forms of Holeweye, Holleweye, Holewey, Hollewey, Holeways, Holeway, Hollway, Holway, Holwaye, Halloway, Haloway, Holliway, Holiway, Hollaway, Holaway, Hallaway, Halaway, Holoway, Holloway, and numerous others, of which the last spelling men-tioned is that most generally used in America today. Families of this name were to be found at early dates in the English Counties of Wilts, Warwick, Berks, Oxford, Somerset, and Middlesex, as well as in the city and vicinity of London; and one branch of the family was early settled in Ireland. These families were, for the most part, of the landed gentry and yeomanry of Great Britain. Among the earliest records of the Holloways are found those of Johannes or John de Holeways, of Wiltshire, in the year 1273 AD. Those of Richard Holeway, John Holeweye, and Hugh Holeway, of London, in 1280; and those of William de Holeweye, of Warwickshire about the same time; those of Ralph, son of Hugh de Hol-leweye, of London, in 1285; those of Grevese Holeway of 1299; those of Henry of Holeway in 1300; those of Abbott Holeway and Richard Holeweye of 1319; those of Robert Holeweye of 1327; those of William Hole of England, 1327-1377; and those of Sibill Holloway of London at a later date.

     George Littlewood Hill George L. Hill was born January 12, 1797, in Caroline County, Virginia, near Fredericksburg. He was left fatherless at the age of twelve years, and with his widowed mother moved to Kentucky in 1815, and there took charge of her business, at the age of eighteen years. He then rented land of Lewis Hickman, whose daughter, Louisa V., he married October 20, 1822. While a renter in Fayette county there were born to them three children, Egbert O., Phoebe L., and Sarah L. In the year 1827 he returned to Henry county, Ky., where the remaining five children were born, Lewis S., John H., Emily H., Rodney P., and Benjamin T. In Henry county he purchased 104 acres of heavy timber which he cleared himself. In those early days, when settlers were few, it was the custom for the neighbors to band together and assist in clearing their farms. At such times it was customary to furnish whisky for the crowd. Mr. Hill noticed that his children began to like the sugar in the bottom of the glass and to ask for a little dram. This set him to thinking seriously of the fate that might be in store for them if they learned to like their dram. He and one of his neighbors made a firm resolve to do away with whisky, and concluded that if they could not get help to roll their logs without it they would do their rolling themselves. At first they were obliged to do their work alone, but their neighbors found them in earnest and at last joined them in their good work. In the year 1828 he professed religion, and with his wife joined the Baptist Church at New Castle. Being ambitious Mr. Hill was not content to stay on a small farm, so in 1835 he started out on horseback on a prospecting tour, and while passing through Illinois was delighted with the country. After returning to Kentucky he could think of nothing but Illinois, and in 1836 made a second trip to the State and purchased the farm of 640 acres on which he agreed to pay five dollars per acre. He moved his family to his new home in October, 1837. While in Clinton attending to the purchase of his farm he assisted in raising the third house in town. It was on the west side of the square where the Masonic hall now stands, as was called the Macon House. He could not immediately sell his farm in Kentucky so he borrowed from an old friend the money to pay for the Illinois farm. He made thirteen trips to Kentucky on horseback during the following twelve years to settle up his own and his mothers estate. As Illinois was then a new State he with his family had to endure many hardships and privations, which were cheerfully borne. To sell his grain he was obliged to haul it to Chicago (then a village) with an ox team, and returning brought with him groceries and salt for the coming year. When his bacon was ready for market he would start for St. Louis, that being the best market for bacon and lard. For breadstuff he had to go to Springfield and Mechaniesburg. When the roads were impassable they had to do without until they were better, and at one time they were six weeks without breadstuff in the house. The next best thing was hominy beaten on a block, and the children did this, taking turns. The finer was sifted out for corn bread and the courser boiled for hominy. When a doctor was needed they had to send to Decatur. That was also the nearest point from which they could get their mail. One of the hardest privations that he and his wife had to endure was that of having no church privileges, so in his home, on the 1st day of February, 1839, was organized the first Baptist Church of Clinton, and for the following two years meetings ere held there. About the year 1846 he gave twenty acres of land to William McPherson, Baptist minister, for a home, and then he built the first Baptist Church in Clinton, furnishing the timber himself, hauling the logs to mill, and doing the work at his own expense. He was deacon of the church for twenty-two years, and faithfully did his duty. For years he furnished the fuel for the church, cutting the wood and hauling it himself. At the time of his death he was the only constituent member of the church he helped to organize, and to which he tenderly attached. He was the oldest pioneer settler known in the county. He was a man of sterling integrity, and was often heard to say that 'his word was as good as his bond, ' and it was never known otherwise. He was never sued in his life. His ambition for himself and his children was for them to be honest and Christian members of society. Mr. Hills sympathies were with the South in the troubles preceding the war, but when the first gun was fired on Sumter he said, with tears in his eyes, that he could not hold with those who fired on his countrys flag, as was after that until his death a strong Republican, casting his last vote for Blaine and Logan. He was an intimate and personal friend of Abraham Lincoln, who often visited him at his home. His wife preceded him to the better land a little over a year ago. He leaves six children, thirty-one grand-children, and fourteen great-grand-children. He was sick about two months before he died, and little could be done for him but to give him tenderest care which his children lovingly did. His disease was just a breaking up of the system, and he suffered terribly, but through it all his hope and trust in a risen Savior shone clear and bright and sustained him. He did not murmur but said he was ready and anxious to go, only waiting his Masters call. And at the last, when his feet touched the cold stream, his Savior took him gently across, and the peaceful look on his grand old face showed that for him indeed death had lost its sting.
