    3. Greetings Group, I'm finally getting around to adding my two cents. Here is the bulk of my Holme/s information: "Jonathan and Mary Dungan were witnesses to the will of Jane Holme, of Lower Dublin Township, Philadelphia county, PA., widow, dated April 13, 1785, proved May 25,1793. She (Jane) mentions children: John, Thomas, Abel, Enoch, Hannah Keen, and Priscilla Cox; grandchild: Jane Holme, daughter of son Abel. Executors: John and Thomas Holme." That is the last reference I have concerning Mary Holme Dungan. All the children mentioned can also be found listed in the Pennsylvania Vital Records, though I do not remember which volume. The quoted material is from the Clarke/Dungan Genealogy written by Justice in the early 1900s. Also, John Holmes served as a Major along with Captain Thomas Holmes, and Ensign Enoch Holmes in Colonel Benjamin McVaugh's 2nd Battalion, of the Philadelphia County Militia during the Revolutionary War. "So far as appears, neither Jonathan or Mary Dungan left wills and there is no record of Letters of Administration on their estates." Does anyone know if that still holds? I'm looking for more information concerning the parents of Mary Holme Dungan. I have additional information concerning the Children of Mary Holme Dungan; for those that are interested, write me personally. Best Regards, Mike J.
