     Most of the information about John Holmes comes from the National Gen. Soc. Quarterly article Jun 1986. Although there were two John Holmes, one a Rev. from Scituate, the other John Holmes, the messenger. This article deals with the latter. He was first recorded in AMERICA 16 Oct 1632 when he purchased a house and six acres on land adjoining Reed Pond from William Palmer for 35 pounds sterling. It might be assumed that being called a Mr and having 35 pounds for a house, a goodly sum in those days, he might have been a man of some position, possibly having come from a family of gentry in England, possibly the 'black sheep of some good family'.
     One writer, George MacKenzie, has John Holmes, gentleman, of Plymouth, as the son of Thomas Holmes of Colchester cO, England who died in 1637 and had children John, Susan and Frances. This may have been Thomas Holmes, maltster, of colchester who dated his will 7 Nov 1637, and named his daughter Susan Morton, grandson Thomas Holmes, the son of John, and his daughter Frances. Written sideways on the will was noted 'to my sonne John Holmes 5 pounds my corslet, pike and all my armor. This of course is not adequate identification. Another clue associating Holmes with Colchester, on 27 Mar 1637, William Spooner of Colchester, Co Essex indentured himself as an apprentice to John Holmes, gentleman of New Plymouth for a term of 6 years starting 1647.
     Another hint that John Holmes was above average means from the 25 Mar 1633 tax ratings where he was one of 22 families rated at 18 shillings. Though he was a man of higher social order, he was not afforded the title of respect afforded to other gentlemen of stature. Possibly because of his behavior, for he appeared several times in the record for public drunkenness. These appearances before the court were not withstanding the fact that on 4 December 1638, Mr. John Holmes was sworn in as Messenger of the Court. The position of messenger involved jobs such as warrent server, jailer and even executioner. Before becoming messenger, John Holmes was involved on the fringes of a well known event in Plymouth when he was a member of a 12-man jury which sentenced Arthur Peach, Thomas Jackson and Richard Stinnings to be executed for the robbery and murder of an indian. The aftermath of the trial occurred when a house servant of Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins was found pregnant and named Arthur Peach as her lover. Hopkins refused to keep her in his house any longer and was kept under house arrest until he worked out an agreement with John Holmes that the latter, for 3 pounds, would take Dorothy Temple as a servant in his home for the rest of her term. Other court records show John Holmes fined 20 shillings 1 Apr 1633 and sentenced to sit in the stocks for public drunkenness; 1 Jan 1634 John Holmes was made a freeman; 14 Mar 1535/6 John Holmes was given use of meadow land between Mr Smith and James Hurst; 5 June 1638 he was fined for keeping three swine unringed; 2 July 1638, Mr. John Holmes,gentleman gave a bond of 20 pounds to ensure court appearance of Richard Clough; 5 Mar 1638/9 Mr. John Holmes was charged with taking 5 shillings for wrongfully serving a warrant; on the same day two charges against Mr. Holmes were served - one for drinking inordinately when sent to serve a warrant and for abusing other mens names to pcure wine to drink; 9 Sep 1639 fined 40 shillings for drinking inordinately; 31 Dec 1641 he was granted 40 acres of land at Narragansetts Hill between the highway and Derby Pond (this transaction was essential to prove identity of son John Holmes); he was fined in a complaint against him by John Thompson; he was included in the Aug 1643 list of men 16 - 60 who were able to bear arms; in 7 0ct 1651 he complained against Joseph Warren in an action of battery for 5 shillings and while the jury found in his favor, it awarded him only 10 groats to pay court costs; on the same day he complained against John Doty for tresspass and assault, and again the court found in his favor but awarded him only court costs, saying that Holmes was technically right but the offenses were trivial and alleges he was rather a belligerant man. These records are the last that can be ascribed to Mr. John Holmes with any certainty. In 1657, the name of John Holmes appear on a list of Plymouth men takingan oath of fidelity - this was probably his son. Pope wrote that John Holmes died 13 Oct 1667 but this was based on a record of a town meeting 15 Mar 1702 which stated 'Reed Pond granted to Hohn Holmes of Plimouth deceased on the 13 of Oct 1667. The date could be applied ambiguously to granted or deceased but that it was actually 'granted' can be shown by another Plymouth town meeting record of 13 Oct 1667 which states that a 'priveledge of grass is dranted unto John Holmes at the Reed Pond in case hee can make meddow of the whole pond or any pte thereof is to be his owne. The deceased John Holmes would undoutedly be John Jr., John Sr having been dead by the 1702 town meeting.
     There is no direct exidence that shows John Holmes having a wife or family, nor is it knowh that he brought a wife with him or married in Plymouth. A Mrs. Sarah Holmes died in Plymouth 18 Aug 1650. She was probably the wife of John Holmes. DeForests give him four children: John b 1636; Josiah, Nathanial and Sarah. MacKenzie gave him three children: Nathanial b Plymouth 1643, Thomas b England and John b at Plymouth. Evidence shows his childen to be only John and Nathanial.
     Contemporary documentary evidence shows John (jr) to be the son of John (Sr). It begins with Thomas Holmes who is the son of John Jr. On 28 April 1705, 40 acres of land were laid out to Thomas Holmes that 'was granted to his grandfather Holmes in the year 1641 and ten acres of land it being a part of his 20 acre lot becamse sue him by a settlement of the propriery of the comon land in Plimouth sd 50: acres of land was laid out at a place caled Four Mile Brook. Records showed tha Thomas had bought this land from his older brother John Holmes, who on 20 Oct 1701 had sold his brother all the lands belonging to my honored father John Holmes, late of Plymouth....that is to say more particularly the house lott or homestead on which the said John holmes deceased lived and whereof he died. The deed described some of the lands involved including a grant of 40 acres of land at the Four Mile Brook. As can be seen above, John Holmes the messenger was granted 40 acres of land 31 Dec 1641, the same 40 acres described as having been granted to Thomas' grandfather in 1641.
     John Holmes was born in England between 1583 and 1611 and died after 7 Oct 1751. It is assumed he has a wife Sarah who died 18 Aug 1650. He arrived in Plymouth no later than 1632, and in 1638 became a messenger of the court. He was often styled Mr. or gentleman, giving the impresson he was of a higher social order of his times. The children of John and (possibly) Sarah Holmes were: John Holmes b ca 1636; Nathaniel b ca 1643.1

     Notes given to me (Holmes) by Joan Raia, descendant of the Holmes of Plymouth state that Thomas R. Holmes was a son of Jeremiah Holmes and Nancy Robinson. He was born in Plymouth, MA 10 Mar 1785, and died in Frankfort (now Winterport, ME) 11 Feb 1823. The Priscilla Jones Collection at the Maritime Museum, Penobscot, ME list children of Jeremiah Holmes, Jr and Nancy Robinson as Nancy, Thomas, Jeremiah and William. A third documentation, Maine Families in 1790 Vol 2, by the Maine Geneological Society in 1990, lists Jeremiah Holmes and Nancy Robinson as parents of Nancy, Thomas R. born Plymouth 10 mar 1785; Jeremiah, William and Lander, the latter two being born in Orrington, ME.(across river from Frankfort). Probate at the death of Jeremiah in Plymouth list Guardianship of minor children in 1799 over 14 years of age as Nancy and Thomas; children under 14 years of age, Jeremiah and William. Guardianship was given to John Bishop, Gentleman and Rofrater Cotton, Esq both of Plymouth.
     Joan Raia lists the marriage of Thomas R. Holmes to Rebecca Bearse (Beers) probably at Plymouth, MA circa 1804, settling in Frankfort, ME about 1811. Their children are listed as Thomas, b. 16 Oct 1805, probably Plymouth, married Ann Dorr 1824; Jeremiah b 1808, probably Plymouth, married Rachel Webber Knowles, int. 4 Dec 1832; Rebecca b circa 1811 Frankfort, ME, married John Gould, int 18 Jun 1821, Hampden; Nancy, b 10 Nov 1813, married Jacob Conant. (Died 2 Aug 1893); Harriott, b 30 July 1816, NFI; John, buried Oak Hill with his parents, age 4 years; and William, NFI. (Nancy's probate showed this William to be William, 2nd, born about 1811, in Maine, married Emeline COBB in Hampden 24 Oct 1836. Births of Thomas Holmes and rebecca listed in Frankfort by the Town Clerk are Nancy b 10 Oct 1813; Harriott, b 30 July 1816, John b 25 Mar 1822, and William NFI. Thomas R. Holmes is buried in Oak Hill Cemetary, Winterport ME with his wife and son, John. MOCA lists the birth as Plymouth, MA 10 Mar 1785 and death 11 Feb 1823. Rebecca, wife d. 17 Oct 1860 aet 75 years. John, son, 4 years.(in Abraham Conant lot) Also buried in Oak Hill are brothers: Jeremiah b Plymouth 13 Apr 1788, died Frankfort, ME 15 Apr 1857. His wife Hannah CHILD b Bristol, ME 21 Dec 1805, d 10 Dec 1882; and William b Orrington, ME 23 Nov 1791, d Frankfort 23 Nov 1858 aet 75 years, Joanna P. his wife, died 24 Oct 1850, aet 54 years, William, son, d 3 Sep 1849 aet 23 years 5 months, Albert Henry, d 19 Oct 1835 aet 17 years 11 months, Joanna, dau, d 21 Jul 1838 aet 17 yrs 7 mos, Horace F. son d 27 July 1846 aet 22 yrs 5 mos, Maria Louisa CURTIS dau died 27 Mar 1859 aet 32 yrs.
     The only other information I could locate on Thomas R. Holmes was the 1820 Federal Census: 1 male under 10, 2 males 10-16, 2 males 26-45; 2 females under 10, 1 female 26 - 45. As Thomas R. Holmes was deceased by the Federal Census in 1830, no record was found for him or under his wife Rebecca.
     Thomas was born in Plymouth, lived in Orington, ME in 1791-95, returned to Plymouth where he was maried and presumably resided until 1811. He moved to Frankfort, ME (now Winterport) where he died in 1823 nearly 38 years of age.1,2
