Notes for Joel Sylvan CLARK
Verbal family history has passed down that Joel was one-half
Indian, on his mother's side. Some of his grandchildren
disagreed over whether he was part Choctaw or Cherokee. Other
info. comes from: Source: 1860, 1870,1880 census, Catahoula
Pr., LA. Family Bible in possession of Henry Casson Clark,
probably Joel's bible. Marriage certificate of Joel and Mary
(Polly) Harmon Clark from Catahoula Pr., LA.
The 1880 U.S. Census states that Joel's father was born in
England and that his mother was born in S.C. Since there were
no Choctaws in S.C., I suspect that his mother was a Cherokee.
Also, Lou Baker Aymond told stories that her grandfather, Joel,
was part Cherokee and that his family had been on the Trail of
Tears. However, we have found nothing yet to substantiate any
Indian information. Also in Joel's Bible was the bithdate of
Stephen C. Clark, who was born in Alabama in the 1830's, and
who also came to Catahoula (now LaSalle) Parish, La. about the
same time as Joel. We are not sure if he was Joel's son by a
previous marriage in Alabama, or is a younger brother of
Joel's. Stephen married a Volentine, and that family's
researchers have stated that Stephen's father was a William
Clark, however none of them have been able to produce a source
for that information.
The only two Holloways found to be in Central Louisiana in the
1790's were John and James Holloway. From E.W. McDonald's book:
" The LaCroix Descendants; 1611-1991; From France Via Quebec To
Central Louisiana", we see that James Holloway married
Catherine LaCroix. From various succession records left in
those families, we know of the children of James Holloway.
Both James and John first appear on Rapides Parish documents in
the mid-1790's. It appears that they began having children
there in the mid 1790's - 1810's date range. So we assume that
all Holloway children born in the Rapides Parish area during
that time must have been descendants of either James or John.
We see that James had only one male child, Stephen, who
according to his descendants, married a Martin in Rapides,
moved with her family to St. Landry Parish in the 1820's, and
then on into Texas. Therefore, all other male Holloways born
in Central Louisiana in that 1800-1820 era must be the sons of
John Holloway. From the baptism record of Mary Julia Holloway
Harmon's daughter, Polly, we see that Thomas Holloway was Mary
Julia's brother. As James Holloway also had a daughter named
Mary, who married Michael Paul, we then know that Mary Julia is
the daughter of John, and that her brother Thomas is John's
son. This should also lead to linking all other male Holloways
of Rapides and Catahoula (where many in the Holloway Prairie
area subsequently moved, including Mary Julia and Henry Harmon)
as being either John's children or Thomas' children.
In the 1810 Census of Rapides Parish, John had 1 male under age
10, 2 age 10-15, 1 male 26-44 (himself, 4 females under age 10,
and 1 female age 26-44. he was also listed as having 2 free
persons (except Indians) not taxed, and 3 slaves. In the 1820
Census, his household consisted of: 4 males under 10; 4 males
16-25; and 1 male 45 and upwards; 1 female 10-15; 1 female
16-25; 1 female 26-45; 8 of these were engaged in agriculture;
and 5 slaves.
John, with James, served in the 17th, 18th & 19th Consolidated
Rgt. of the Louisiana Militia during the War of 1812 (See:
Louisiana Soldiers In the War of 1812; By: Marion Bennett
Pierson; Louisiana Genealogical & Historical Society (1963)).
Also serving in that same unit was John Holloway, Jr., thereby
probably identifying another son of John.
James and John Holloway do not appear on the 1790 Spanish
Militia List for Post Du Rapid, however they do appear on the
list for the mid-1790's. John Holloway, James White and
Reuben White are listed as dragoons (cavalry), and Thomas White
is on the roll as an infantryman. See: Militia List Post of
Rapide, Mid-Late 1790's; Papeles Procedente de Isla Cuba,
Archivo General, Seville, Spain, Legajo 211-A, Folios 799-801;
translated by Houston Tracy. We aso see that John received a
Spanish land grant next to James Holloway of 40 arpents in
depth by 15 arpents in width situated above the heard of
Charolette's Prairie between Dyson's Creek and Horsepen Creek,
which was approved by the Spanish Intendant General, Don Juan
Ventour Morralles, on August 7, 1796. See: Opelousas Land
District Office, Register's Book 6, part 1; LDS Microfilm Roll
#1676314. John Holloway, along with James and Reuben White,
signed a request to the Spanish Governor of the Province of
Louisiana seeking the appointment of an alcalde for the North
side of the Red River at Post Du Rapide. See: Papeles
Procedente de Isla Cuba, Archivo Generale de Indias, Seville,
Spain; Legio 212-B, Folios 554-555; Submitted by Houston Tracy.
John last appears upon the 1830 Census for Rapides Parish.
James White was the brother of Elizabeth White Holloway, and
Reuben was his son. It is believed that this is some
indication that their continued presence with the Holloways in
Rapides, and later, in Catahoula Parish, supports the theory
that the early-Rapides Parish John and James Holloway being the
sons of John Holloway and Elizabeth White Holloway of 1780's
Natchez, Mississippi. There was speculation that a John
Holloway of the 1830's in St. Helena Parish, La., who married a
Glasscock, was the son of the Natchez John Holloway, but from
the Census records it appears that the St. Helena John Holloway
was too young to be the son. I believe that he is more likely
the son of Robert Holloway, and a grandson of John Holloway and
Elizabeth White of Natchez.
The burning of the Rapides Parish Courthouse records, by Union
Troops in 1864, limits documentary evidence to prove
relationships between the various early-Rapides Parish
Holloways, however, they no doubt descend from the James and
John Holloway who settled at Holloway Prairie in Rapides
Parish, Louisiana in the 1790's. Due to records kept by the
LaCroix family, we have more information on James than John. It
appears that the Holloway name passed down in Rapides Parish
from John's male line, as James' only male child, Stephen,
moved on to Texas by the 1830's. Perhaps someday we will find
some family records, from a family into which some of John's
children married, which will shed more light on John's line.
