John Holloway (Virginia politician)

John Holloway (c.1666 – December 14, 1734) was a politician and lawyer in the British colony of Virginia.

He also served as a soldier in King William's army in Ireland, and invested in a business venture that failed.

[5] Holloway first settled in King and Queen County and its voters elected him as one of their representatives to the House of Burgesses in the 1710-1712 and 1712-1714 sessions.

[6][7] Some time during the 1710s, Holloway and fellow attorneys John Clayton and William Robertson prepared a collection of Virginia statues in force, which Clayton later revised and William Parks published in 1733.

Holloway also served as the colony's treasurer until his death, and was succeeded as both Speaker and as treasurer by John Randolph of Charles City County an attorney whom some considered as his political rival.
