Fellow members, Elias joined the British army just about in time for its fall to American forces in1776. He spent the next two years in jail,at his own expense and had his property con- fiscated. There should be records of his capture,imprisonment and property seizure. Would a member be kind enough to advise how we could get this information. Elias is another New Jersey HOLMES that seems hard to "place". There are a lot of HOLMES in Connecticut that moved to Jersey,that were weavers as Elias was,as well as another with the same name of Elias. We just cant connect them. Help is welcome. Thanks Claude Montpetit
