I am stuck on the HOLMES side of the family tree. I have hit the wall with Joseph HOLMES, born 1860-61 in MAINE. Both of his parents were also born in Maine. He married a woman named Elizabeth______, who was born in CONNECTICUT. Her parents were both born in GERMANY. Joseph moved to Brooklyn, New York, Started a Printing Business in Queens and had five sons. They were Joseph, Arthur, Elmer Robert and Lucien. Any connection would be appreciated. If any of you Maine researchers can connect him to a Maine family, you will make my day.

George and Rose PIERSON HOLMES of Antrim Co Ire, came to the US with their children before 1850, stopped off in Pennsylvania, and then the the children appear by 1850 in Stark County, Illinois living near Elmira, Modena, and Toulon. Will exchange information on them and their children...John, Robert, Rose Ann, Nancy and Eliza. Descendants moved to Storm Lake, IA, Ellsworth and Anderson County, KS, and Nebraska.

Here's a possibility for you: In 1809, Henry Holmes Sr. deeded property in Washington Co. to William and Henry Holmes Jr. Henry Sr. had a daughter, Ann, who married Alexander McGuffey in 1797, so this William was probably in the right age bracket to be yours. The deed is in vol. u, page 957, of the Washington Co. deeds. There are also two more deeds mentioning William and Henry in vol. v, pages 307 and 308. If this turns out to be yours, Henry Holmes Sr. married Jane Roney. There is an extensive genealogy of the Holmes family in the Horn Papers, vol. II, by W. F. Horn, pages 664 to 671. Whether it is true or not remains to be proven. I haven't been able to find any evidence that any of the earlier Holmes mentioned in the book ever existed. -----Original Message----- From: random <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, January 16, 1999 8:13 PM Subject: Re: HOLMES-, William 1773 Pa. >Need info on William Holmes b 1773, d 1825.
