Notes for ABRAM HOLLINGER:
Adam was born in Ireland about 1741. ) He married Elizabeth MONIAC in Creek Nation, about 1782. He married Marie Francoise (Lefleau) LEFLORE in Mobile, Mobile Co., Alabama, August 12, 1788. Their Marriage Record, signed by Rev. Miguel Lamport, shows them as being residents of the Tensa River. Adam died about 1809 in Mt. Vernon, AL. The Spanish census of 1787 lists Adam as being 46 years old. Early on, Adam was an Indian trader who spent much of his time living among the tribal nations, especially the Creeks. Adam was known to have fathered at least one child by a Creek Indian woman, Elizabeth, a daughter of the famous Creek Chief Monica. As he somewhat settled down into marriage, he established a home north of Mobile, on the Tensaw River; he also had a house on Hollinger's Island, south of Mobile, located at the mouth of the Dog River where it empties into Mobile Bay. He operated a ferry on the Tombigbee River and later served as a militia officer in Washington Co., AL. He also operated a large cattle ranch. In 1799 he, together with others, was accused of murdering one Jacob Townsend who had been sent by persons in Georgia to recover Negroes and property that had been taken over by residents of the Tensaw River community. Hollinger and the others were subsequently acquitted of the charge.
In a Washington Co. deed datedApril 9, 1808, Adam gave his slaves to his five children, by his wife Mary, and also to his "half-breed son William". On the same date he made a will leaving his estate to ''wife Mary Hollinger". Harry Toulmin and William Pierce were named executors, together with his wife Mary. He signed with his mark. He was buried in Mt. Vernon, his summer home. Some family historians claim that Marie Josephine had Kaskakie Indian bloodlines. When Lafayette visited Mobile in 1824, he was entertained at a ball held by Mary Josephine, whom he proclaimed to be "a beautiful and gracious lady." Mary was assisted at the affair by her niece, Amante Juzan Toulmin.
