EDWARD COOLBAUGH HOAGLAND Member New England Historic Genealogical society Fellow Institute Of American Genealogy Member Bradford county H.istorical s.ociety SACRED ART PRESS Box 1313 WYSOX, PA. 1957 HOL£6.V The name Hollon does not appear to have been a surname of distinc tive antiquity. It is the opinion of those who have endeavored to trace the family that it is an aberration of Holland, or possibly Bowlan~ Holland is a name given ton native of that country, which was called Hollowland because it abounds with ditches full of water, we give herewith a list of the names of the different he~ds of• families found in New England prior to the year 1700, as given in Holmes' Directory Of The· Ancestral Heads Of New England Families. CHRisioP~ER HOLiAND was at Boston, Mais., in 1R52. JOHN HOLLAND was a freemnn at Dorchester, Mass, 1 in 1R3R. THOMAS HOILAND was a resident of Yarmouth, Mass,, in 1R41, ARTHUR HOWLAND settled at Marshfield, Mass,, before 1R43, and was ,a proprietor there in 1R47. HENRY HOWLAND was an inhabitant of Duxbury, Mass., in 1R33, JA~EZ HOWLAND, married, was at Duxbury, Mass., before 15~9. JO~~.HOWLAND came over from England in the first voyage of the Mayflower, 1A20~ . ZOAR HOWLAND was an inhabitant of Newport, R.I.: in 1R5R. The preceding list gives the names of the heads of families of the several names in New England prior to 1700, It is noted that there are no entries under the spelling Hollon, but this compiler ~grees with others that the latter spelling is only a variation of one of the others, most 1i kel y Ho pq_nd. Mr, ClRy Hollon of Chicago has done considerable research on the line. He states, "I do bel,eve though that our name originally was spelled Holland. ·Prior to Jeremiah (of liberty Corners), and my great-grandfather (his brother), there are fevr wha speli their name as we do. The Hollon fam ilies seem to have devdoped during the last 150 years, this name being a variation or change in the spelling of the name." He found several referen ces to the name in its present form of Hollon, in other parts of the coun try, which may be of interest.

JEREMIAH HOLLON III (No, V: 1) son of Jeremiah II and Betsey (Tozer) Hollon, head of the family whose record we follow, was b. 6 Apr. 1785 in Massachusetts. He is said to have been left an orphan in a large family, and this may account for his having followed the migrations of the Orcutt family to the Chemung valley, as Deborah Tozer, the wife of Daniel Orcutt, is believed to have been a sister of Betsey Torer, Mr, Hollon' s mo ther. Mr. Hollon m. 1809, BETSEY ORCUTT, b, Whitehall, N.Y., near Lake Cham plain, 7 Aug. 1789, dau. of Daniel and Deborah (Tozer) Orcutt, who emigra- ted to wilawana, near Athens, Pa,, in or before 1808. William Orcutt, the probable ancestor of Daniel, is found at Weymouth, Mass., in 16fi4, from whence he removed to Sciiuate, Mass~r in 1869, and still laier to Bridgewater, Mass. 3 After his marriage. Mr. Hollon moved to Che~ung Co., N~Y., and in 1835 to Liberty Corners; Bradford co., Pa., first known as Valley Hill because of the defile following Rob Wood mountain from Fowlertown to Spring take. It later became known as Hollon Hill, a designation still frequently used by older residents. Here be cleared a farm, on which he spent the re mainder of his days.
