Posted on: HOLMES Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/surnames/h/o/HOLMES/queries/81 Surname: ------------------------- FYI:I found a James Holmes on a Land Record dated 29 May 1780 in Ky. I don't know if he could be a connection to your James L. I am looking for the parents of John Cannon Holmes bn in VA abt. 1790. The above mentioned land sale was part of a VA land grant. That is why I am continuing my pursuit. Good luck.
