Person:John Holoway (1)

On 20-November 1832, John Holloway of Morgan County, Tennessee, appeared before John H. Hughes, Justice of the Peace, to file for a pension as a Revolutionary Soldier. He calculated his age as 73 years and made the following statement about his service record. John Holloway, was born near Richmond, Virginia. He was drafted into the Service in East Tennessee near Jonesborough under Captain John Clark, Major Jesse Walton and Colonel John Sevier. They first marched to the Doe River and concluded that it was not safe to leave the frontier so the troop returned home. This became the pattern for fighting the Indians zig-zagging through the Indian Nation fighting and capturing Indians and then returning home. John Holloway fought in this manner for two years and was awarded a pension even though he could produce no written documentation of his service.
