The following information on the family of Hannah Newlin and Robert Holladay is quoted from "The Newlin Family: Ancestors and Descendants of John and Mary Pyle Newlin" (1965) by Dr. Algie I. Newlin and Harvey Newlin (1965), pages 207-210:

The most regrettable weakness in this study of those who trace their ancestry back to John and Mary Pyle Newlin is the scarcity of material on Hannah (Newlin) and Robert Holladay and their descendants. The task of giving this branch of the family an adequate genealogical treatment must be left to someone else.

Robert Holladay was the son of Henry and Mary (Fayle) Holladay. They were among the pioneer settlers in the Cane Creek valley of the southern part of Orange County, North Carolina. Their home was established one half mile north of Cane Creek and about midway between it and the place where Spring Meeting House was later built. Henry Holladay and Mary Fayle were married in the Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, Delaware, March 3, 1746. A monument erected in 1932 at their graves in the cemetery at Spring Friends Meeting House bears an inscription that says they came to North Carolina in 1756. However, the records of Cane Creek Monthly Meeting of Friends gives information which contradicts this date. The place of the birth of each of six of the eleven children is given. The first three were born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and the other three in Orange County, North Carolina. This would place the date of the arrival in North Carolina at some time between the birth of the third and fourth child; between the 10-VI-1750 and 4-XII-1752.

A few years after the Holladay family settled in the Cane Creek valley, Robert and Sarah Andrew and their children arrived from Pennsylvania and established their home nearby. The Cane Creek records indicate that Sarah Andrew with her husband and daughters, Jane, Catherine, and Ann presented their certificate of membership to Cane Creek on 5-XII-1767. The name of the Pennsylvania meeting from which they came was not indicated. For some reason there is no reference to a similar certificate for her husband, Robert, and their four sons, John, William, Robert, and David.

These two families--Andrew and Holladay--became closely linked together by three marriage ties. Two of the Andrew sons married Holladay daughters and one of the Holladay sons found his bride in the Andrew family.

On 3-I-1795 Robert Andrew and family received permission to move to Back Creek Meeting in Randolph County. In the same session Mary Andrew with her husband and children were granted permission to take their membership to Center Meeting. (Back Creek Meeting had been set off from Center Meeting three years earlier.)

From the Quaker records of Spring Meeting in Orange County, North Carolina and Lick Creek Meeting in Orange County, Indiana, most of the meager information about Robert and Hannah Holladay and their children has been gleaned. On August 26, 1815, Spring Meeting gave members of the family permission to move their membership to Lick Creek. Those included in the certificates of transfer were: Robert and Hannah Holladay, three sons, Jacob, Henry, and Robert, and at least one daughter (not named). Since Rebecca, the youngest of the children, was eighteen years of age, it is assumed that she was among those going to Indiana. One month later, 30-X-1815, these certificates were accepted by Lick Creek Meeting and the six or more members of the Holladay family became members of that Meeting.

During the following year Robert Holladay, Sr., died at his new home in Indiana, at the age of sixty-eight.

The Diary of Nathaniel Newlin establishes the following additional facts about the family: Hannah (Newlin) Holladay was in Orange County, Indiana in 1819, and her son Robert Holladay, Jr., was living in Crawford County, Illinois, at that time. His home was a few miles north of Palestine. Nathaniel Newlin was in his home only a few days after his visit in the home of his sister, Hannah (Newlin) Holladay in southern Indiana. From the Palestine, Illinois, Register of August 5, 1963, it is learned that Robert Holladay, Jr., moved from Indiana to Illinois in 1818, and that he died there in 1837, and that his son Henry "ran the farm for many years" after his father's death.

Lick Creek Friends Cemetery

Transcribed by Karen Hugo


Paoli Township, Section 8-T. 1N.-R. 1E, Still used.

This is the oldest public burying ground in the
county. It is three miles east of Paoli and one quarter mile south of state
road 150. Jonathan Lindley entered the land in 1811. In that year his wife
Deborah died. She was the first of the Friends’ colony to die after their
arrival from North Carolina. Her grave is in the east end of the cemetery.
Many of the graves of these pioneers were never marked, and some of the
old stones have crumbled, or have been displaced. It was a custom of Friends
to record marriages, births, and deaths, but the birth and death records
of Lick Creek Meeting have been lost. The meeting was set up in 1813. The
old records are kept in the Orange Co. Bank at Paoli.
