Biography

No. 6. In the forepart of the 1600's John Holliday, 1578, only son of Sir Leonard, married Alice Ferrars. She died at the birth of a son, also named John. He spent his early years in London, but he also lived at Yard House in Middlesex and at Frome Hall. There is some doubt as to whether it was the senior who came to Virginia in 1638. This writer accepts the junior as more likely correct. A Virginia deed dated in 1638, is recorded from Christopher Wormly, to various parties described as being near or adjoining lands of others named, "and John Holliday.

This writer accepts No.7. Thomas Holliday as a grandson of Sir Leonard.

No. 7. In 1650 Capt. (Col.) Thomas Holliday, arrived in Virginia. Several writers claim that he did not arrive until 1656 and that he was "the first of the name to arrive on these shores." This writer believes he can prove that both statements are erroneous. Greer's record shows that Thomas arrived in 1650. Nugents Cavaliers and Pioneers shows land deeded by Thomas Tacker to Thomas Holliday in Oct. 1650. Said land was "in Locust Neck and Ad­oins Rich Neck." Another tract, "located towards head of Tanxe Weynoake Run," was deeded to him in 1656. As has already been stated,. Greer shows the arrival of several Hollidays in 1637-8 and in 1650.

Capt. Thomas married the widow of Col. John Hinton, and she bore him eleven children, but only two are mentioned in the records of Williamsburg ---Thomas and John. This Thomas is claimed as ancestor of the Hollidays of Maryland, while John was called John Marshall, founded the Virginia and Georgia Hollidays.
