George Holmes was living at Salisbury, Rowan Co., N.C. in 1790 when his daughter Dorcas Ann married Joseph McCommon. That is the only record I have of George Holmes. Does anyone know his family or birth date? Excuse me, I do know his will was executed in 1802 and his family consisted of wife Bethea/Bethsia, daughters Mary (who married a Presley) and Dorcas Ann. Thank you, Betty

I'm going about this in a round about way, but bare with me... Priscilla TURNER was born about 1750 in Brunswick County, VA and died 26 March 1820 at Columbia, SC. She married Timothy RIVES 20 March 1772. The parents of my Priscilla TURNER "may" be Jacob TURNER who was born in Southampton Co., VA and died about 1813 in Southampton, VA. He married Mary Anne BLUNT in 1754. The parents of this Jacob TURNER "may" be Solomon TURNER who married Patty or Polly HOLMES 2 January 1708 in Southampton, Virginia. I know that Priscilla TURNER is my ancestor, but I'm not sure about the rest. Unfortunately, I didn't write down my source for this info on her ancestors - I "penciled" it in. Can anyone help me to verify this information? Just in case it is correct, can anyone provide additional information on this HOLMES and/or TURNER family? Thanks! Fredreica speyer@bellsouth.net

Hi Holmes experts...I am a Holmes in Kansas, 57 years old, and know virtually nothing of my heritage or ancestors...I know that my Father was Woodrow Wilson Holmes who grew up in Stafford County Kansas, and died at the age of 48 at Pratt, Kansas in 1962. My mother was Elizabeth May Holmes (Dark) and she died in 1995 at the age of 80, also in Pratt, Kansas. My Grandfather on my Father's side was James Nathan Holmes, who died in the 1950's in St. John, Kansas. He was married to Bertha May till her death in the late 40's or early 50's. My Grandfather on my mother's side was Jethro "Jeff" Dark, who was married to Blanche Dark (Bond) They also lived their later lives in Stafford County, Kansas. I believe most of my Grandparents traveled to Kansas from Missouri and/or Illinios in covered wagons back around the late 1800's or around the turn of the century....I would appreciate anyone helping me to learn of my lineage back to where we all came here from if possible. Thanks in advance for any assistance you might have. Stan Holmes, Wichita, KS sherlock43@myexcel.com
