Response to the family name

I had no idea the spelling was actually Holladay. Where does this surname come from, do you know, Doc?

I just did a quick lookup of Anderson Holladay in KY, and indeed he was young during the civil war: an 1860 census puts him at 12. So he went off to battle at what -- 15-16?

Also I did a search of Civil War Pensions. The records only cover Union soldiers and there's no Anderson Holladay from KY listed. (I'm supposing he would have filed in KY as he appears in later censuses as resident there.) So either he didn't file for a pension, or he fought for the South.

XOXO, Mez
