A few descendants insist on calling him "John Daniel", though published historical accounts agree his given name was only "John".〔Holladay's 1861 obituary in the ''Deseret News'' calls him "John Holladay" as does his original headstone now in Santaquin cemetery. Holladay had a son named "John Daniel" whose own son was named "John Daniel Holladay Jr.")〕 Holladay married Catherine Beasley Higgins, also Camden born, in South Carolina in 1822. They had 10 children, nine of whom survived early childhood. Holladay's earliest known forbearer in the New World, his great-grandfather, is John "The Ranger" Holladay of Belfonte, Virginia. "The Ranger" is also an ancestor of Ben Holladay, "The Stagecoach King".〔The Holladay Family, Alvis Milton Holladay Sr. Douglas Printing Company Nashville, Tennessee, 1994.〕 After John "The Ranger" died in 1742, Holladay's father, Daniel Holladay, and his grandfather, Daniel Holladay, moved to South Carolina.
