Posted on: HOLMES Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/h/o/HOLMES/queries/93 Surname: Holmes ------------------------- I was told that my David Holmes came from Lexington,Ma But i wrote to someone there and they said that there were no Holmes in Lexington,Ma till the mid 1800s. My David was born around 1780 or before. So maybe he came from Woburn,Ma. If you have any thing on this line down to the late 1700s early 1800s. This line did move to Nova Scotia in 1812 and move to northern Maine around 1830s.It is Davids son James H. Holmes that move to Maine this dau. Mary J.(Holmes)Elliott is my 3greatgrandmother.Any help would be greatful. Thank You G.clark
