1. The Holloways came to Tennessee from North Carolina, Wilkes County, Before 1817, as Sterling was born in Tennessee. Joseph P. and the other older ones born in North Carolina.

2. Bremillion Holloway, one of the pioneers of Rhea County, was the forefather of most of the Holloways of Rhea County. He was the son of Thomas Holloway of Orange County, North Carolina, and in all probability the grandson of Bremillion Holloway who received a land grant in Henrico County, Virginia, on August 5, 1751.
Bremillion Holloway was one of the oldest of Thomas's children. He was married twice. The name of his first wife is unknown; however, descendants of his son, Sterling, stated that her maiden name was English or England. His second wife was Sarah Proctor whom he married in Orange County, North Carolina on February 5, 1798.
Bremillion migrated to Tennessee prior to 1814. His first property (150 acres) was near William Noblett's property north of Sulphur Springs (Rhea Springs) on or near Piney River/Muddy Creek. The 1824 Entry Book reflects he and some of his sons with property on the mountain near White's Creek. It is unknown if any of them ever claimed or lived on this property.
Bremillion had at least eight children: Delila, William, Samuel, James, Major, Burton Williamson, Joseph P., and Sterling.

3. Brmillion Holloway was born in Orange County, NC between 1760-1770 and had moved into Rhea County Tennessee about 1807 and died there between 1840-1850.
Malinda and Burton with their family of three sons and one daughter were living at or near Sulphur Springs, Rhea County, Tennessee when the 1840 Federal Census was taken. They are said to have come through in a covered wagon drawn by oxen. Burton was a very religious man and usually would not travel on Sunday, but on that trip into Illinois they came through a settlement of savage looking Indians, so that time Burton decided he had better keep his family on the move. That family, consisting of several children, settled just south of Eddyville.
