To the List: My line of Holmes begins with Joseph Benjamin Holmes b 8 Feb 1831 d 14 Jul 1901 m Sophia Snyder 28 Jun 1860 in Botetourt Co. VA. One of their children was Albert W Holmes b 17 Feb 1878 Lexington VA d 2 Jan 1911 Lowell WV. His daughter, my mother, Margaret Eleanor Holmes b 19 May 1900 Lowell WV d 18 Mar 1974 in a HInton WV hospital. Does anyone have these names in their data base? I would be grateful for any assistance on this Holmes line and will gladly share my data with interested parties. Conrad Miller.
