Surnames: Holmes Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.columbia/2494.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: John Holmes in my family was a brother of my 3ggf Palmer Holmes. I have little on him except that he was in the Rev. War and did not stay in Canaan or Ghent. My scant notes say, "!Source: 1988 IGI; Charles Gillette. !He lived, and probably died, in Cazenovia, New York. His family moved west." He did die in Cazenovia Co, NY, but I have little on him. He was born in 1761 in Amenia, NY. I can send you a gedcom of him and his ancestors including several Mayflower passengers. I will attempt to find more in my files. Carroll Holmes
