During the Revolutionary War I lived in Roxbury in Litchfield County. I was well acquainted with John Holloway a soldier in the Continental Army & Elizabeth Kimberly of Roxbury. I know that in the Fall of 1780 they were married by the Rev. Thomas Canfield, who was then a minister of the Gospel in Roxbury & is now deceased. I was present at the wedding, but never heard nor supposed that their marriage was doubted by any body. I have been acquainted with them ever since, I have resided within a few miles of them. Said John Holloway was then in the Army & long afterwards. He was a prisoner of the United States, as I have always understood & believed to the day of his death, which occurred in the winter of 1834 in Warren, where he then resided.
M rs Elizabeth Holloway has remained the widow of said John, ever since, & sustains a good character. I am now 68 years old & reside in the Town of Litchfield.
