BIOGRAPHY: Name also spelled Haladay.

BIOGRAPHY: Extracted From: "History of Crawford County, Illinois," Vol.1, 1980, Crawford County Historical Society, IL, ©1981, See pg 146 for additional information on this family. Gives birth as 1725 in Lurgan, County Armagh, Ireland. Came to America in 1735.

BIOGRAPHY: Pg 207 in "The Newlin Family, Ancestors and Descendants of John and Mary Pyle Newlin," by Algie I. Newlin, PO Box 8345, Guilford College, Greensboro, NC, 27410, 1965, Reprinted by Hutsonville Historical Society, Inc., Rte #1, Box 58, Hutsonville, IL 62433, 1996, discusses the Holladays. "Henry and Mary (Fayle) Holladay. “They were among the pioneer settlers in the Cane Creek valley of the southern part of Orange County, North Carolina. Their home was established one half mile north of Cane Creek and about midway between it and the place where Spring Meeting House was later built. Henry Holladay and Mary Fayle were married in the Old 'Swedes Church in Wilmington, Delaware, March 3, 1746. A monument erected in 1932 at their graves in the cemetery at Spring Friends Meeting House bears an inscription that says they came to North Carolina in 1756. However, the records of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting of Friends gives information which contradicts this date. The place of the birth of each of six of the eleven children is given. The first three were born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and the other three in Orange County, North Carolina. This would place the date of the arrival in North Carolina at some time between the birth of the third and fourth child; between the 10-VI-1750 and 4-XII-1752.”
