Photos for Mary "Polly" (Hardegree /
Hardigree) Holloway section

This page was last updated on: 8 March, 2010
This memorial marker was erected at Peatown Cemetery near Lakeport, Gregg Co., TX in memory of those buried at Christian Union Cemetery.  The white section of the old cemetery no longer exists and is overgrown with nature.  The African-American section still exists and is now called Post Oak Union Cemetery.  The marker listed members of the Holloway family, including Mary Hardigree Holloway and her husband David Holloway.

NOTE:  This marker listed a Polk Blakeley who died in Revolutionary War.  This is an obvious error.  Nancy B. Ruff mentioned to David Gode that the person who had the marker erected got the wars mixed up.  As mentioned in the Holloway book by Mrs. Ruff, David Polk Blakeley, son of John and Martha (Holloway) Blakeley, was born circa 1846 in GA and died circa 1862-65 in TX.  According to family tradition, Polk was wounded during the Civil War and brought home where he died.  He was buried at Christian Union Cemetery and his grave like others buried there are now lost.
