Carole: Thanks for the response. I few clarifying questions: was John Holmes' wife's maiden name Scott, i.e., did he marry Sarah Scott? I also have a Rachel Lavina Holmes who was born in Lawrence County, IN on 24 Oct 1840 who married Charles R Beckelhymer on 16 Feb 1860 in Macon County, IL (or Texas County, MO). Was she also a daughter of John and Sarah?
