Misc. Notes
According to Shattuck’s Memorials100, Sarah Holden was “the eldest of ten children of John Holden, who d. Dec. 27, 1753, probably a descendant of Justinian Holden, (p. 87.)”
Green’s Epitaphs218 describes the matching gravestones of John and Sarah (Davis) Holden, and notes that John was the “son of STEPHEN and HANNAH HOLDEN; his wife was the daughter of JOHN and MEHITABLE DAVIS, born September 22, 1694. JOHN HOLDEN was taken by the Indians in the year 1698, and held prisoner during one year and ten months.”
There is some confusion whether John Holden was also married to Sarah Morse, and whether she might have been the mother of daughter Sarah Holden. This requires further investigation.
