Looking for others researching the Henry Preston Holmes line. I am looking for ties to his parents who are unknown and anyone who is researching his descendants. Henry was born in NY and is in WI by the 1850 Census. He lived briefly in IA but returned to WI by 1871 and lived the remainder of his life in WI. Hope to meet a new cousin! :) Descendants of Henry Preston Holmes, Sr. 1 Henry Preston Holmes, Sr. 1824 - 1883 .. +Rebecca Carrier 1827 - 1870 ......... 2 Lucy Jane Holmes 1850 - ......... 2 Andrew Holmes 1852 - ............. +Frances Van Hoosan 1853 - ......... 2 George Wallace Holmes 1854 - ......... 2 Phebe Holmes 1856 - 1934 ............. +Charles E Van Hoosan 1842 - 1924 ......... 2 Freeman Shelton Holmes 1859 - 1926 ............. +Mary Precilla Duckworth ......... 2 Volney Eugene Holmes 1861 - 1909 ............. +Martha May Streeter ......... 2 Frank S.
