William5, Samuel4, John3-2-1 .plus maternal anc., were treated by M. L. Holman

(A-239) FORBES/FORBUSH/HOLLOAY - For proof that Hannah HOLLOWAY was dau. of
Adam HOLLOWAY see his will at Worcester Co. Probate Registry. Worcester, MA.
dated 27 March 1733 which mentions his dau. Hannah FORROWBUSH (sic). Another
docket paper lists Hannah FUROWBUSH (sic), w. of Jonathan FUROWBUSH. These
HOLLOWAYS became HALLOWELLS soon after 1700. Most early HALLOWELLS of N.E. were
spelled HOLLOWAY by early town clerks.

(A-242) FULWOOD/BRINTON/HUNTER/LIGON - Your Robert FULLWOOD is
also on my anc. His only w. was Jane Ware HUNTER, mother of your Wilhemina
FULLWOOD, who m. Robert LIGON 1 Oct. 1822. The m. of Robert FULLWOOD to Jane
Ware HUNTER is a bit murky. It appears that they entered unto a common-law union
about four or five years before their m. A public notice (Columbia Museum and
Savannah Advertiser, Savannah, Ga 16 May 1797. p. 2, col. 2) referred to both
Robert and Jane W. FULLWOOD as admin. of William BRINTON. deceased, of
Washington Co. But a major 1803 Clarke Co. lawsuit i.e ownership of slaves
states that they m. 25 Aug. 1801. It appears to me that they became common-law
husband and w. by 1797, but did not m. until 1801. Carolina Matilda BRINTON was
a dau. of Jane Ware HUNTER by her first m., prob. ca. 1789-90, to William (poss.
Henry) BRINTON (see J.W. Schoonover, The Brinton Genealogy [1924], p. 692).
Carolina Matilda, b. 7 Nov 1790 d. 9 Jan, 1838, m. Athens, Ga. 12 Dec. 1807
Edward Courtney PAINE, son of William and Elizabeth (DRURY) PAINE of
Watkinsville, Ga, Carolina Matilda HUNTER a sister of Jane Ware WINTER, was
believed by C.M.C. Hardie (a prodigious early genealogist who d. ca. 1940,
descended from a bro, of Jane Ware HUNTER) to have m. a James FULLWOOD as second
husband; but this James is surely not Robert’s bro., as Hardie believed, since
that James was survived by his first w. The name “Carolina Matilda’ was used
several times (as was “Wilhelmina”) in earlier HUNTER generations. I have much
on the FULLWOOD fam., including earlier generations of HUNTER and other allied
kin. Jane Ware H1UNTER was dau. of Edward and [prob.] Jane (WARE) HUNTER; the
Ware anc. is less clear.\

(A-280) McNERNEY/HALLOWELL - Elizabeth HALLOWELL’s anc. is given in
Pendleton, Old Colony Holloways (1950), pp. 188-89, etc. These particular
HALLOWELLs were not true HALLOWELLs but HOLLOWAYs who altered their name after
moving from Me. to Mass. On the McNERNEYs Pendleton agrees with you that William
Francis McNERNEY of Maine was b. in RI. as “Jr.”

name as Sally D. WINSLOW. See GAY Bible records, Register 114(1960) :149. This

Bible, Sally B. Winslow d. 30 Sept. 1857. October 1 is the date on her d. cert,

GAY Mar. 8, 1822.
