Description
Excerpt from Jonathan Holman, a Revolutionary Colonel: A Paper Read Before the Worcester Society of Antiquity, December 5th, 1893
The first wife of Solomon Holman, Jr., was. Mary Brackett, supposed to have been of Newbury, by whom he had two child ren, Solomon and Elizabeth. His second marriage was with Mercy Waters of Sutton, in 1729. Thus early in the history of the town we find the two families connected by the holy ties of matrimony. By the latter marriage he became the father of eight more Children, among whom was Jonathan, the subject of this sketch, born at Sutton in I7 32. From the record we learn that Solomon Holman, Jr., was in 1726 among the protestants against having a council of ministers at Sutton in relation to a difference between pastor and people. In 1742 a petition was presented to the inhabitants of Sutton for a new parish, which was eventually formed and became the second in town. Among the petitioners were Thomas Holman and Solomon Holman, Jr.
From this point onward 1n this sketch the junior will be dropped from the name of the above Solomon Holman, as there is no evi dence that Solomon the first ever resided in Sutton.
In the documents which follow under date of their respective years, so much of early history, boundaries and names of persons appear that it has been thought best to enter largely upon their publication. They cannot but be of great value to all interested in the early history Of Sutton as originally bounded, or in what later became the North Parish and eventually the town of Mill bury.
