  • Name: Hollis, John
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date: 1743
  • Death Date: 26  November  1824

John Hollis was the nephew of Timothy Hollis. He lived in High Wycombe. He contributed to John Disney's Memoirs of Thomas Brand Hollis with a series of letters which intimated that he had fallen out with Thomas Brand Hollis over Thomas Hollis's will (he left his fortune to Thomas Brand who then incorporated Hollis into his name). Godwin noted in the 1796 Diary that he first met J Hollis in 1782.

See the entry on Timothy Hollis which suggests that J Hollis is often (but certainly not always) referred to after 1790 (and possibly before) as plain 'Hollis', as well as appearing as J. Hollis..
