As "free Negroes" Holloway family members owned property and developed valuable skills and trades.

He returned to Charleston and opened a harness maker's shop. James H. Holloway was the son of Charles H. Holloway, and the grandson of Richard Holloway (a well known preacher) and Elizabeth Mitchell Holloway. (Source: Finding Aid) Image in this record from 2009.013.20, Photo catalog.
