Looking for information on Thomas HOLMES of Brooke County, WV. In his will dated 1 Oct 1829, Thomas names his wife Anne, sons Isaac and Thomas, and daughters Margaret ATKINSON, Jane ALLISON, Anne RALSTON, Izebele RUSSLE, Lucinda Priscilla RALSTON (born 7 Mar 1795, wife of Joseph Ralston), and Elizabeth WILEY. According to a bio of his grandson, Thomas Holmes RALSTON, in Beers Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, PA, the first Thomas was married to Nancy McNEELY. The two were natives of County Donegal, Ireland. They came to the States about 1789 and lived for a short time in New York City before moving to Brooke County, WV. Thomas was said to be 96 years old when he died (his will was recorded in March of 1832). His wife Nancy lived on to be over 100 when she died at the home of her son Isaac in Guernsey County, OH. I am descended from Thomas Holmes through his daughter Lucinda Priscilla Ralston. Any information will be appreciated.
