John HOLLEY was born ca 1715 in Bertie Co., NC. married Rebecca
GILBERT.  They were in  the Lynch Creek area of Cheraws District,
Kershaw Co., SC with his brothers, Jacob, Richard, and James by the
start of the Rev. War.  John was suspected of being a Tory because he
wouldn't 'take sides' and was 'ran out' of SC into Eastern Tenn.  He
took with him his son, John Jr. and his family of grown children and
settled along the Nolochucky (or Mollohockey) River in SE Tenn.  Would
like to find someone who knows more about this family.  Jacob may have
been hanged for a Tory.  Some of Richard and James' descendants went to
GA and LA.
