The Margaret Holloway named in the will of 10-Aaron as his grandaughter may 
not have been the daughter of Abigail Robins Buck. I can find no proof that
Abigail Robins married Ephraim Buck & had a daughter Margaret who married John
Holloway. New Jersey Archives: May 11, 1777 will of Ephraim Buck of Fairfield,
Cumberland Co., NJ, wife Abigail does not name a daughter Margaret. Ephraim
Buck of Fairfield married Abigail Ogden Sept. 27, 1769 in Cumberland Co.,
NJ from New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800, pg. 36. It appears this
man wasn't the husband of Abigail Robins. Did Abigail Robins Buck have a
daughter Margaret Buck who married John Holloway? Is there some record for
her parents, her birth & marriage?

We do know that Abigail Robins married a man named Buck as stated in 
10-Aaron's will.

We do know 10-Aaron had a grandaughter named Margaret Holloway as stated 
in his will.

We do know Margaret Holloway was living in 1784 when she was named in 
the will of her uncle Aaron Robins, Jr. According to Holloway researchers, 
Margaret Buck Holloway was living in VA by 1754. It may be of no signficance
but this isn't mentioned in 10-Aaron's or Aaron Jr's will.

I find it interesting that Charles Robbins Hutchinson did not connect 
Margaret Holloway as the daughter of Abigail Robins Buck. He speculated
Aaron had a deceased daughter who married a Holloway & Margaret was their
daughter. He thought both of Margaret's parents were deceased at the time
of 10-Aaron's will in 1759 & that Margaret was still unmarried in 1784. I'm
unable to confirm the accuracy of Mr. Hutchinson's speculation regarding
the deceased daughter of 10-Aaron or Margaret Holloway as a single woman
in 1784. Until there is some evidence or a clue that Abigail Robins Buck
had a daughter Margaret who married John Holloway & migrated to Virginia
this 10-Aaron line is questionable.
