I found one reference in the Hopkinton Town Meeting minutes from the 1760s where John Bitgood, a tranchon person, applied to live in Hopkintown, and in his testimony, he claimed to have been born in the house of John Holloway in Charlestown. The Hopkintown town fathers voted not to admit him to live in Hopkintown. Have you investigated John Holloway from Charlestown? Kindest regards, Bill Bidgood
