James and Eliz. had James Calvin Holmes in 1834 who married Emily Hammadine Tanner in 1850. They had 12 children, one of whom was John David Holmes b. 1856. John David married Sarah Laura Holmes (first cousins unfortunately). Sarah's parents were Richard Holmes (James and Eliz's child too) and Frances Ann Ashburn. Sara and John David had Ernest Walter Holmes, SR. in 1883 - the founder of the Holmes Wrecker (tow truck) in Chattanooga, TN. Ernest married Hattie Jane Hackett (who loved geneology and did lots of this research), who had Ernest Walter Holmes, Jr., who married Mary Belle Childress, who had my daddy, John David Holmes. Anyway - I'm seeking info on James Grimes's parents and siblings as well as Elizabeth Buchanan Newton's. Any help is greatly appreciated.
