William and Nancy Holliday/Holladay
Most of this is the result of research by June and Audine Ridge Miller, many times the sources lists a census etc, but it was they who found them in the census records. I list the census as a source as it is the main source and will be better accepted by another researcher.

1. WILLIAM HOLLADAY. was born about 1775 in Bedford County, Va.. and died sometime after 1848 in KY, W VA, or IND. I believe him to be the son of David and Agnes Pulliman Holladay of Smith Co. Tenn. and grand son of William H. and Judy Holladay. William H Holladay was a son of John "The Ranger" Holliday or some may know him as John Marshall Holladay. I believe him to be the same William Holladay that was in the Smith Co. Tenn. and also the same one on page 227 of the "The Holladay Family" by A. M. Holladay, but this has yet to be proven but the following evidance suggests it
William took up Land Grand and purchased property in Lawrence. Co. Ky in 1826 on Bear Creek. This Creek emptys into the Big Sandy River between Lousia and Cattlesburg, Ky and almost on the Boyd Co. and Lawrence Co. Ky boundary line. Evidance shows they lived here as early as 1810 and left sometime around 1826 after securing deeds etc to their land holdings and then selling it all and leaving. We don't kinow where they went to.
William came to Va and lived in Smith Co. Tenn and then after selling his property to Willeray Pate as mentioned on Page 227 of "The Holladay Family" by Alvis Milton Holladay, he moved to Lawrence Co. Ky and lived there until 1826. when he may have moved back to Smith Co. Tenn or went to Ind. or Mo. or parts unknown to me.
1820 Greenup Co. Ky Census.

Incoming Land Deeds of William and Nancy Holliday of Lawrence Co. Ky
On June 27, 1826 he purchased 40 Acres of land from Reuben Canterbury and wife for $110.00, located on Bear Creek , a triburary of the Big Sandy River. note--Reuben's wife was a James Steward descentant. Source--Deed Book A Page 180, Lawrence Co. Ky June 27, 1826 Later that year on Oct 6, 1926 he purchased for $80.00, 83 acreas of land located on the Big Sandy River from James Brian and his wife of Highland Co. Ohio , Source---Deed Book A, Page 193, Lawrence Co. Ky. In 1826 he received two Land Grants located on Bear Creek. The first one was granted on Dec 15, 1826 Book X page 180 and the second was on Dec 15, 1826 Book X page 180 for 100 acres, This was probably property they had been livng on before 1820 when the census was taken. They purchased a total of 273 acreas in Lawrence Co. Ky
Outgoing deeds for William and Nancy Holliday

The following information from the book "The James Steward Family of Early Augusta County, Va and Descendents 1740-1916" by Florences S. Dickerson.
On page 70. it says Polly Holliday was a sister to William Holliday and Polly Married William Steward on May 27, 1828 (Vol 1, 89, Page 190) and they had a son, John who married Dorothy Richardson on 8/22/1859 in Lawrence Co. Ky (Bk 2, Page 122)
Page 70 also names John Ridge (husband to Nancy Holladay ) in Nov 1848 in a chancery suit of absolum Stewart, son of Charles (nephew of Absolum) and against above grantees. Wm Holladay was named and him and his wife Nancy signed the above deed. Wm Holladay was a brother to Polly Holladay who married a son of James Stewart, a brother of Absolum.
Tax List
Where did Willam and Nancy go after leaving Lawrence.
William was not in any Smith Co. Tenn census of 1820 or 1830 or later. He also was not picking up his mail in Smith Co., Tenn as his name was in almost every list of people that had not picked up their mail from Smith Co. Tenn in 1822 from the Tenn. Newpaper abstracts. He did apply for a Land Grant in 1827 in Smith County , Tenn. Two years after leaving Ky. Just about right. He had to improve the land for two years before he could apply. Most of the time they get these land grants when they start selling to leave and go somewhere else as they had to live and improve it first.
He married NANCY , her maiden name unknown to us now in VA OR TENN. She was born About 1770 in VA. and died sometime after 1848 in KY , W VA, OR IND. I believe her to the the Ann Wells that married a William Holliday in Whyte Co. Va in 1793. Nancy Ann is a name common in many households during this time in history. They had the following children:

She married ROBERT HAZLETT, 10 Aug 1825 in LAWRENCE CO, KY. .whom William and Nancy later deeded their land to. He was born about 1804 somewhere in Va. They lived in The Greenup County, Ky area and in was in various Census around the area. We do not know their death dates. or anymore about them

4. POLLY HOLLIDAY. was born about 1805. Died date and place unknown to us.
Her marriage records is also in Book "PIONEER FAMILIES OF EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN KY" see William Stewart for more information. If you go to Lawrence County Courthouse, you will only find her listed in marriage index. no marriage record in book but it is supposly on microfilm but I looked on film and never found her. Another book has her listed as a Sister to William Holliday. This would account for the extra daughter of William and Nancy Holliday, as they only had two daugters in the 1820 Greenup census but three daughters married in Lawrence Co. Another puzzle is that William and Nancy and family was last in tax list in 1826 but Polly returns to marry in 1828.
She married WILLIAM STEWART, 28 May 1828 in LAWRENCE CO, KY. He was born 1806 in GILES CO. VA. and died somewhere in Texas, date and place unknown to us.
William Steward was born in Giles Co. Va but was raised in Greenup, Ky. After his marriage to POLLY HOLLIDAY, they moved to TEXAS where Polly died, date and place unknown to us . WILLIAM Steward remarried to a wife whose name we do not know. WILLIAM Steward and one of his wives had a son, JOHN STEWARD, born MAY 22, 1859 and either JOHN or his son became a Doctor.

5. William H. Holliday. was born about 1810. We are not sure he was a son of William and Nancy but we know they had a son William that left Lawrence Co. Ky and was a early settler in Owen, Co. Ind according to the Owen Co. Indiana history books. We know no more of them in Owen County, Ind and feel this may be them returned to Lawrence Co. by 1850. In 1850 they lived in Lockwood, which is just a mile up the road from Bear Creek and for them to be in Lawrence Co. instead of Boyd would mean they would have had to live very near the mouth of Bear Creek .
