JOHN W. HOLLOWAY, M. D., is a native of Jessamine County, Ky., was born
April 30, 1823, and is the third son of Spencer and Catherine (Reid)
Holloway, natives of Jessamine County and Tennessee respectively.  His
grandfather, Sir James Holloway, a Virginian, who was captain in the
Revolutionary war, immigrated to Jessamine County very early.  Spencer
Holloway was born in 1792, was a farmer, and died in 1883.  John W.
Holloway's maternal grandfather, George Reid, came from Scotland to
Tennessee, but was of English origin on his father's side.  John W.
Holloway was reared on the farm until twenty-three, when he went to
Louisville and began the study of medicine under John L. Price, and
continued three years; during this time he was under Drs. Gross and
David W. Yandall; then took a general course in surgery and medicine, 
and was graduated in 1850 from the medical department of the University 
of Louisville.  He began practice the same year at Keene, and has since
continued his profession.  He has been extensively engaged in farming,
and is also an extensive stock raiser.  He was married, November 11,
1852, to Martha Elizabeth Cleveland, a native of Jessamine County, 
daughter of George Cleveland (deceased), who was also a native of 
Jessamine County.  Her mother was a daughter of Hockings Craig, who was 
noted in the early history of Kentucky for his eloquent preaching.  
Hockings Craig was not a minister, but a descendent of the Craigs, who 
were noted, and imprisoned for preaching the gospel according to the 
discipline of the Baptist Church.  Of the children born to Mr. Holloway 
four are living: Mollie (in Knoxville, Tenn., married to H. S. Mizner), 
George C., Spencer E. and John B.  The Doctor has had a very large, 
successful and lucrative practice, commencing in the start with very 
little, and by his business qualities has made a grand success, and 
owns about 700 acres in Keene Precinct.
