Posted on: HOLMES Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/h/o/HOLMES/queries/105 Surname: Holmes, Hill, May, Bower, Huffman, Wallace, McIntosh, Smith ------------------------- Betty: I checked & could not find a Horace in my tree. My gr gf James S HOLMES came to AR with his brother Harry in the 1880's and I have a good list of their desendants w/o a Horace. It could be he was a cousin that I don't know about and maybe one reason James went to Harrisburg. Harry owned a mercantile store, hotel & saloon in H'burg. James' oldest son Robert built the first bottling plant, and according to some cousins he was very hard to get along with. I tried to reply to your email and it came back "unknown". Good Luck, Ric
