Service information from Davis,1 as R.G. Hollaway, and his Compiled Service Records,2 via fold3. Personal details from family genealogists and a bio sketch in Perrin, Battle, and Kniffin's Kentucky, a History of the State (1887), from GoogleBooks. They have his birth in Carroll County, KY, which seems unlikely, given his parents were born, married, and died in Caroline County, VA. His gravesite is on Findagrave.

He married the widow Lucy Ann McAllister Oglesby (1827-1915) at her home in Oldham County, KY in December 1875; she had 5 children from her first marriage (m. 1849).
