Repost of a query sent to the New London County, Connecticut list: Henry A. Baker, in his "History of Montville, Connecticut", says: In the old Salem burying-ground there are several by the name of Holmes whose gravestones appear there. Upon one stone in the group of the Holmeses is the name "Lucretia, wife of Samuel Holmes, Died Sept. 20, 1820, aged 93 years," which shows that she was born about 1727, and would correspond with the age of the Samuel Holmes who purchased land in North Parish in 1749. Does anyone know whether transcripts or records of the cemetery to which Baker refers are available? -- - Rich Holmes <hrholmes@mindspring.com> Morris: Thornden (Syracuse, NY), Salt Springs (Syracuse, NY) Genealogy: BELDEN (NY), COLLINS (NY,RI), CURRIER (NY,NH), HANSEN (NY), HAYES (NY,CT), HOLMES (NY,CT), JENSEN (NY), YORK (NY,CT)
