I am searching for a Nathan/Nathaniel Holmes who was born in NY in 1770. He died in Shelby County, IN. He married Lydia Winchell. A lot is know about the Winchell family, but no info about Nathan's family. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's important to remember that this collection contains only christenings and marriages recorded in churches. If your ancestor was not christened or married in a church it won't be in this collection. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

I received the following this morning. However, I can't seem to retrieve the messages from Compuserve because they, in their infinite wisdom, suppress all messages when notifying of undeliverable mail. So, if you sent a message to the Holmes list between 12:37 p.m. on 23 May and 1:43 p.m. on 24 May, would you send it again. Due to an error in how we handled the listservers, RootsWeb has irretrievably lost 480 posts that were made between 12:37p and 01:43p this afternoon. While RootsWeb cannot retrieve those posts, I think all of them were bounced to the listowners with some cryptic error message saying the post could not be sent because of a disk full situation. *You* can retransmit those messages to your lists, and they should go through fine now. My word of wisdom for today: Computers don't simplify life. They just make the complications more complicated. Jude **************** Judith B.

The index, at least (itself many rolls of microfilm), is also available at the Onondaga County Public Library in Syracuse, New York. The Barbour Collection is incomplete, of course.

I shall be in Stark Co IL in a couple of weeks researching the family of Irish Immigrants George Holmes and his children Robert, John, Rose Ann Patterson, Nancy Wiley, and Eliza Lazrith (children born about 1810-1820 in Ireland). Some of the families moved to Stark Co from Philadelphia, and descendants moved to Buena Vista County IA and to Anderson and Ellsworth counties, Kansas. Are these your families? I will be happy to share information. It might be helpful if you would e-mail me directly as I will have to unsubscribe to the list soon since I will be away from my computer. Thanks [email protected]

Periodically I post my WANTED Holmes family into the list hoping that among the new people who have joined us someone may recognize them. So here goes again. Samuel and his daughter Harriett are part of my husband's family. Harriett was married three times, but her first marriage to George Washington Robinson is the one that counts for our family. Her second and third husbands were 2. somebody-or other Hull and 3. somebody-or other Hatfield. She was affectionately known as Grandma Hatfield by the family in her latter years. 1. SAMUEL HOLMES, born in 1804, New York, married Lurinda ENSIGN, born in 1808, New York. 2. daughter, HARRIETT G. HOLMES born, 1835, possibly in Michigan, married in 1856 to George W. ROBINSON, born 1830 in Michigan. 3. Joseph ROBINSON, born Arkansas 3. Martha ROBINSON, born Arkansas 2. son, SAMUEL HOLMES Jr. (May have taken a donation land claim in Thurston County, WA.) Thanks, Anne Mailto:[email protected]

If you get this post more then once, I apologize. I just want to pass the word out about the research group that call themselves -- granny [email protected] Back in March they posted in e-mail about their services and shortly thereafter they got a web page offering research done by little old ladies that go to the archives every day. Will I, along with a neighbor, answered their add and sent a request for information. We, also, sent money via snail mail to cover costs, which were very nominal. Well, it is now about the end of May and neither of us have received a thing. I have e-mailed them a total of 7 times but got no answers. So, as the saying goes, BUYER BEWARE. This does appear to be a scam. Dona at [email protected]

Looking for info on my HOLMES line. This is the extent of what I know so far.

looking for info on Noah Webster Holmes he married Olly Mae Williams in  1911 in texas - they were living in calif in 1956.      Ann

"Give someone a little power and she'll abuse it!" That's what I intend to do. If any of you have problems with another subscriber's post, bring them to me PRIVATELY, and don't post them to the whole web. The latter has occurred a couple of times, and I have to admit I find it a little irritating. I also find it very rude, and will come down rather hard on anyone who does it, since the content of the list should be a matter of concensus (with me as the final judge--that abuse of power I mentioned). When there are enough complaints about a posting, I will PRIVATELY chastise the poster, and if the offense continues, I will unsubscribe her/him. In the meantime, let's have a little fun here, Holmesfolk, and not take ourselves so doggone seriously. Jude (Listowner) **************** Judith B.

Maryellen and HOLMES listers, I've been trying to trace some Holmes who were in Dutchess Co. ,NY, but probably removed from the Hartford, CT area. Don't have a personal link to your Holmes or Willeys, but do have some suggestions and one marriage record for your Holmes/Willey couple. 1st, there are several good sources on CT. I've been doing work on several lines in Haddam, Stonington, Cromwell Upper Houses, Saybrook, and New London. CT didn't compile its vital records as well as MA did, but D.L. Jacobus has a good book which follows most early CT settlers' line for several generations. It's probably available at a university or other large library in Miama and could be checked before you travel to NEHGS. 2nd, depending on when you're going to NEHGS, you might also want to try this one via their circulating collection: "The Descendants of Geo. Holmes of Roxbury, MA, 1594-1908. To which is added the Descendants of John Holmes of Woodstock, CT" by Geo. A. Gray (1908). 3rd, and also available in many libraries outside of NE, "CT Marriages before 1800" and "American Marriages before 1699." They are good general sources, but perhaps that's where you've gotten some of the info you have already. I think the former lists your folks and I include the cite here (note alternate spelling of Willey -- probably will have to check for lots of variants on both Willey and Holmes): --"Early Connecticut Marriages: Second Book, New London, New Haven Second Church, page 8, John Holmes & Mary Willee, Feb. 11, 1707;" That source also lists another couple who might be related to yours (given the Haddam location) --"Early Connecticut Marriages: First Book, Saybrook, New Haven Second Church, page 90, John Holmes of East Haddam and Mary Canfield of Saybrook, April 22, 1762" 4th, some periodicals to check as well (at least NEHGR may be avail in Miami) Holmes/Holmes ancestry, Connecticut; Connecticut Nutmegger, 25, 4, March 1993 Holmes/Holmes family, England, Connecticut, NEHGR 19, 44, October 1865 Holmes/Joshua Holmes, Stonington, Connecticut, 1678-1729, NEHGR, 142, 2, April 1988 Holmes/Nathaniel Holmes, Canterbury, CT; NY, Mayflower Quarterly, 48, 3 August 1982 5th, I found a few related records (but *unsourced*) online that all give the following: John Willey m. Miriam Moore, 18 Mar 1668-70, New London, New L, CT. John was b. abt 1648 New London to Isaac Willey and Joanna ?Lutten. John d. 2 May 1688 Haddam. Miriam was b. 8 Nov 1653, New London to Miles Moore and Isobel Joyner. John and Miriam had seven kids, including Mary, b. 10 Dec 1685 N. Lyme, New L, CT, and an Abel (not the one you mention I hope), b. 3-3-1682, No. Lyme, New L, CT. They don't give any more on Mary or Abel. The people who posted this info are at : [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] Apologies if this is old info for you. I have not corresponded with any of them; just passing on potentially helpful contacts. 6th, there's a ton of Willey family info (with sources) at http://www.clinton.net/~mewilley/family/willey.htm On my lines, I am looking for info re: Eunice Holmes/Helmes who m. Wm. Drake. Eunice was the daughter of Mary Helmes/Holmes who was of Amenia, Dutchess CO., NY, estate dated 12/1/1789. Her will mentions daughters Eunice wife of William Drake, Susannah wife of Stephen Downing, Mary Davis dec'd, Prudence Thurstin. Executor was friend, Jabez Flint, Esq. Witnessed by John Denton, Fanna Thomas, and Sabra Burton. Probated June 11, 1789. Will is abstracted from records of Surrogates Office in Dutchess County, Liber B, page 169. I hope the above Holmes suggestions are useful. If you run into any evidence about Holmes removing to Dutchess CO, NY prior to 1789, I'd greatly appreciate it. Best of luck!
