Do the names Nathaniel, Isaac, Lewis and Hannah HOLMES sound at all familiar to anyone? I am helping out a genealogy friend that doesn't have a computer nor Internet access. I have a copy of a will she sent me (I am a HOLMES descendant also but we haven't connected yet) that mentions those names. Isaac HOLMES is the father of those children and their mother is Deborah. They live in Bedford, Westchester Co., NY. Nathaniel is the eldest son. Son Isaac gets some property called Mary Holmes plain, Isaac, Sr. had purchased from Ebenezer HOLMES. Also property mentioned purchased from David MEAD. Then son Lewis he left some property. Hannah got some money. The will is dated 16 June 1740. There is another date of 27 March 1741. The will is on file at Bedford Hills with the John C. HOLMES Papers. I hope that this rings a bell or two with someone! Please contact me and hopefully there is a connection!

I'm wearing my listowner's hat now, so please read this, everyone: I've gotten several requests to change people's addresses lately. Now I don't mind doing it, in a pinch, but it's so easy that I'd really rather you do it. Simply send an unsubscribe message to Holmes-L-request@rootsweb.com (or substitute a D if you're on digest) from your OLD address. Then from your NEW address, send a subscribe message to the same place. I will be happy to help if you suddenly find yourself with only a new address, but if you're like me, you'll keep the old one for a while, until you get everything sorted out. And that brings up something else. I have a slew of queries posted all over the country, for Holmes and for all the other surnames I'm researching. What I've been told is that it's far easier all 'round if I simply resubmit those queries under the new address. So I'm sharing the advice. And reminding you that if you change ISP and consequently your email address, don't forget to do that too. Rootsweb has a great page where you can check and see other postings you may have made and some of them can even be edited. And last but not least, if you ever have need to see my genealogy page it's now at www.hevanet.com/gladhaus/genealog.html It includes everything I know about my Holmes line, as well as my husband's father's line, some other useful genealogy info and a link to the "5,000 Ways to Make a Living" list that one of our (anonymous) members compiled and allowed me to post. Taking off the listowner hat now, Jude ~~~~~~ www.judithbglad.com Come journey Behind the Ranges, where wilderness challenges heart and soul... Exciting Historical Romance by Judith B. Glad from Awe-Struck E-Books www.awe-struck.net Read THE DUCHESS OF OPHIR CREEK. It will seduce your senses, excite your emotions, and warm your heart.

I just had to share this with you all-- Now you can read Book III of my Behind the Ranges series, THE DUCHESS OF OPHIR CREEK. This tender, moving story of a Chinese girl who seeks freedom in the Idaho gold camps will seduce your senses, excite your emotions, warm your heart. Folks who've already read THE DUCHESS OF OPHIR CREEK have praised it. Read what they've said at www.hevanet.com/gladhaus/OCreviews.html THE DUCHESS OF OPHIR CREEK is available from Awe-Struck E-Books (www.awe-struck.net) as a file download in HTML, PDF, and a variety of formats for hand-held readers like the Rocket eBook, the eBookman and the Palm. Write to me (heyjude@judithbglad.com) and I'll send you a list of other online booksellers where it's also available. Enjoy! Judith B. Glad www.judithbglad.com
