Early life
Halloway was born in Pawling, Dutchess County. His name is sometimes spelled "Holloway." After the deaths of their parents, Ransom and his sister were raised by relatives.[1]

He settled in Beekman, where he farmed and worked as a hat maker.[2][3] He was also active in the state militia, and was appointed paymaster of the 30th Brigade in 1818.[4]
Halloway was elected as a Whig to the Thirty-first Congress, holding office from March 4, 1849, to March 3, 1851.[5][6]

In 1820, he married Rebecca Dodge, a daughter of Joseph and Ann Dodge, who died on August 5, 1843.[7]
In 1851, a few months before his death, he married Eliza Genevieve Waring of Mount Pleasant in Prince George County, Maryland. His second wife's name appears in some accounts as "Warren."[8]
He died on April 6, 1851, in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, at Mount Pleasant,[9] the home of his second wife.[10] He was buried next to his first wife at the Dodge Family Cemetery in Pawling.[11][8]
