Rob My name is Robert Clark and I have ancestors in Eden Twp. I am descended from John Clark who with his brothers and family migrated to Eden Twp.from Cayuga Co,NY and were landowners in Eden Twp. John Clark had two sons who married the Jeffrey sisters from NY.,both brothers resided in Eden Twp. One brother Samuel S Clark is buried in Weston,Wood County,Ohio. In the Clark plot is a Sarah Holmes Jeffrey d 10-04-1855 aged 68 yrs who I believe is the mother of Samuel's wife Hannah. I have no evidence to prove a relationship to your Holmes family but there could be a link if your family came from NY around 1820-1830. I have a listing for Rock Creek Cemetery where my ancestors are buried and there are some Holmes there also. I find three Holmes families in the 1880 census in Eden Twp.
