Updated PAF 5 file available

Hey Researchers--

I have finally finished merging most of the new information I found from the Ancestral files. My PAF is now updated with both of Daniel Holladay's wives, as well as about 10 of his grandfathers and their wives. If you would like me to e-mail you this PAF, drop a line at gordonworthholladay@gmail.com and I will send it right over!!

Kezziah Terry and Margaret Brunson

So I may have discovered the confusion about John Daniel Sr.'s mother and her name. His father, Daniel Holladay Jr, was married to Margaret Brunson sometime before 1773, and then to Kezziah Terry sometime before 1792. It was probably a plural marriage situation. Kezziah is John Daniel Sr.'s mother... although there is some confusion over his brother Daniel William Holladay. I can't determine which woman was his mother! Any brilliant discoveries/insights much appreciated!

Big Findings from Family Search!

I was looking on the Ancestral file database today, and hit what I hope is a gold mine!

Here are the new names I've found:

John Daniel Holladay Sr. (10 Mar 1798) of South Carolina
son of Daniel Holladay (1752 of South Carolina,
son of Daniel Holladay (1712) of Virginia,
son of John Marshall Holladay/Holliday (20 Apr 1676) of London, England;

son of John Halliday (1609) of Bromley, England;
son of John Halliday Sr. (1580) of London, England;

son of William Halliday (1523) of Rodborough, England;
son of Edward Halliday/Halyday (about 1482) of Rodborough, England;

John Daniel Sr. Holladay

In my current PAF file, I have the following family:

John Daniel Sr. Holladay (born 10 Mar 1798), son of Daniel Holladay and Kezziah Terry.

Well, after doing a little research in the IGI index on familysearch.org, I have made another discovery. His mother, Kezziah, is listed from some sources as "Mary Brunson Terry Kessiah[or Kezi]." But so far, searches on her name alone aren't bringing anything up. But I have very little information on her anyway.

Anyone else come up with anything?
