According to the individual who has a home page at http://members.aol. com/kjtcet2/scott.html the father of Lydia was Samule Holmes. He was from Newport, Rhode Island. My line goes back through Sarah Elizabeth Trowbridge who married Joshua Hickman Cale, her parents David Lewis Trowbridge and Jane Martin, his parents Jesse Trowbridge and Sarah Pugh, his parents Samuel Trowbridge and Jane Ruble, and then David and Lydia.
