I am searching for ancestors or descendants of Samuel HOLMES, b. abt. 1820 in New York State and residing in Barker, NY (Broome County) 1840 - 1860. I believe he married a Harriett BARNES. His children: Henry HOLMES, b. abt. 1836 William HOLMES abt. 1838 Amos Barnes HOLMES abt. 1842 Emeline HOLMES abt. 1846 Sarah A. HOLMES abt. 1847 Henry and Amos settled in Portville, Cattaraugus County, NY. Any help with this line would be very much appreciated! Jim Holmes Saratoga Springs, NY
