        Joseph married Nancy M. Buxton-Hawn 9-March-1870. Nancy was a sister of         Melinda Adeline Buxton Holloway wife of Joseph's son, Joseph Anderson   Holloway. Nancy's husband died at Andersonville Prison, GA., during the Civil War, and Nancy was sick, so they had a marriage of convenience. When Nancy died Joseph took care of the chidren, they had a pension and a place to live and someone to care for them. Nancy was first married to Elisha Hawn. They had two children, Meniphee and Jennie Hawn.
