Hi William, this group that you posted is VERY close and they may be cousins or something.The group sheet I have where my gg-grandfather first appears on the 1850 Parke Co, Liberty Township census has the following household:
Elias S. age 44 born in NY Mother b. NY, Father b. Mass
Marthaage 43 born in Indianna
Catherine age 11 born in Indianna
Cyrus Shaw Clerk age 21 born in Ohio (this man apparently worked in Elias S. Hollidays store.)-Barb
and last but not least
Ambrose S. Hollidayd age 40 farmer born in NY other b. NY and father born Mass.
This Census is why I am sure Ambrose and Elias are brothers, 4 years apart in age, living together, and parents from the same locations.
I am currently makeing a comparison of all Hollidays in Indiana during that period.Ditto on Tolivers and Kies. Those are my 3 Indianna surnames so far. I have been told that just about all the early New England Hollidays are descended from either a Walter Holliday or a William.I
need to zero in on all Hollidays in Mass in the late 1700s but it is hard to pinpoint when a given person left one state for another did he leave Mass for NY after attaining adulthood or did his parents move to NY from Mass after he was born?People sure moved around a lot for not having cars in those olden days.They moved so much we are lucky we can pick up their trails at all. So William, are these Holladays from Tippecanoe Co. IN yours?I am also interested in Tippecanoe Co as I think that is where Ella Holliday nee Toliver was born as that county is teeming with Tolivers and it is close to Parke and Fountain where my Hollidays were for the most part.It is also the place a John Kies showed up in abt 1840.Abigail Kies who married Ambrose Holliday the elder had a brother named John and she may have come from COnn with her brother to Indiana. I still have no clue on who migrated when and where and why on most of my people.SOme of my families migrations make no sense to me whatsoever, but may when I know more about what was happening in history at the time.If you are descended from any Indiana Hollidays of any spelling from Holady Holiday, Holladay, Halladay, Hollyday, Holoday etc.Then we are likely cousins.The question is who is our first common ancestor?
