Joe: I tried to your email address and my message to you bounced-- I'm interested in the names of the four preachers, who were on the 5 ships to Boston, 1718 and where they settled. I'm particularly interested in Rev. Holmes, no first name given. There was a Hugh Holmes whose name appeared on the petition to emigrate to New England. Also, I'm interested in 2 Homes brothers, from Coleraine, who were mentioned in Bolton's Scotch-Irish Pioneers: Thomas HOMES, who died at Dracut, Massachusetts, 1726, this was where Rev. James MacGregor and some followers settled. Thomas' brother was John HOMES, of Boston. It may be he was in Cambridge, Massachusetts as this was where Thomas' probate action took place. Do you have a website? thanks, Charles Joseph2852@aol.com wrote: I caught a reply from a Joyce Hamilton to Charles and it had RE: Rev.
