HOLDEN The surname Holden, Holdin, Holding or Houlding, is an- cient and distinguished in Eng- land. Various branches of the family bear coats-of-arms and titles.
(I) Richard Holden, the immigrant ances- tor, was born in England in 1609, and came to this country in the ship "Francis," sailing from Ipswich, England, April 30, 1634, and settling, first, at Ipswich, Massachusetts, where he was for a time a land owner. His brother Justinian, who was born in 16II, came over a year later and settled in Watertown, Massa- chusetts, whither Richard also removed soon afterward. A manuscript family record writ- ten about 1800 states that they had brothers Adam and William, and an uncle, James Holden, "one of the Lords of England," who secured their release by the sheriff who had arrested them for attending "a dissenting meeting" on condition that they would do so no more "in that country."
.
Richard Holden resided at Cambridge for a time. Justinian settled there. Richard was a proprietor of Woburn in 1658. He sold his place in Watertown in 1655 to J. Sherman. He was admitted a freeman, May 6, 1657. In 1656-57 Richard settled in Groton, where he had nine hundred and seventy-five acres of land in the northerly part of the town, now in Shirley, part of which was lately occupied by
Porter Kittridge. His land extended on the west bank of the Nashua river from a point near Beaver pond to the northward. He spent his last years with his son Stephen, to whom he gave his real estate March 23, 1691, calling himself at that time "aged, infirm and a widower." He died at Groton, March 1, 1696; his wife died at Watertown, December 6, 1681. He married in 1640 Martha Fosdick, daughter of Stephen Fosdick, of Charlestown. The latter left a forty acre lot of land to Richard, situated in Woburn.
Children: I. Stephen, born July 19, 1642, killed by fall from a tree at Groton in 1658. 2. Justinian, born in 1644, resided in Billerica. 3. Martha, born January 15, 1645-46, mar- ried Thomas Boyden. 4. Samuel, settled in Groton and Stoneham; mentioned below. 5. Mary, married Thomas Williams. 6. Sarah, married, December 20, 1677, Gershom Swan. 7. Elizabeth. 8. Thomas, born 1657. 9. John, born 1657. 10. Stephen, born about 1658. (II) Samuel Holden, son
of Richard Holden (I), was born in Watertown, June 8, 1650, and died in Stoneham in 1739. The history of Stoneham, Massachusetts, says of him: "Another citizen of Groton, who set- tled here was Samuel Holden, who lived for a time in Woburn, and bought a tract of forty- five acres in the westerly part of the town south of Marble street in 1690." The Holdens owned an extensive territory in the south- westerly part of Stoneham and easterly of Bear Hill. It is impossible to say with cer- tainty where Samuel first located, but probably on the land which he originally purchased near Marble street, although subsequently some of his descendants lived in two houses westerly and southwesterly from the last resi- dence of the late John Bucknam. In an ancient paper now in possession of one of the family is the following reference to him while in Groton.
"Samuel Holden, second son of Richard Holden, lived in Groton until the Indian war (King Philip's). The town in the night was beset by Indians ; the Indians came to his house in the night and broke it open and came in. His wife made her escape out of a door with two small children in her arms and went into a cornfield. Mr. Holden stood behind a door with a gun in his hand intending to kill some of them, but it being so dark he could not see them. He also made his escape out of the house, and went to a garrison house. The Indians after plundering the house went off. Soon after this Samuel Holden moved to

Stoneham (then Charlestown) for fear of the Indians. (The town of Groton was aban- doned). He died on or about the year 1739, aged eighty-eight years." As the observant pedestrian tramps over the pastures between the Nathan Bucknam house and Bear Hill, he notices three depressions in the ground where once stood human habitations which have long since disappeared. Two of them were occupied by Holdens and the one farthest south by Isaac Howe, who purchased there a house and barn and eighty-two acres of land in 1715. "His daughter Naomi married Joseph Holden." He bought forty-five acres of land in Charlestown near Woburn line in 1689 of John Allen, and sold a part of it in 1691. He appears in the Charlestown records in 1699. Stoneham, where he lived, was not incorporated until 1725. His wife Anna died June 18, 1731, aged seventy-two years, at Stoneham. Her gravestone is still standing.

In 1844 Daniel Holden married Roxanna Haynes, another daughter of Reu- ben Haynes. In 1829 he came to Lowell, Massachusetts, to work in the flannel mill of H. G. Howe in Belvidere.

He received his early education in the public schools of Concord, afterward continuing his studies in Boscawen, New Hampshire, and at West- brook, Maine, under the tuition of Rev. S. H.

He was one of the fore- most citizens of Lowell socially as well as in business and financial affairs.

LAW John Law, the immigrant ancestor, was born about 1635, and accord-
ing to family tradition was of Scotch descent and birth. He is said to have come to America in 1656, and seems to have been nicknamed "Shepherd."

called Fiddlers' Green, near the center of the village. In 1863 he sold this farm, which his wife had inherited, and removed with his fam- ily to Medford, Massachusetts. He took up the trade of blacksmith in the shop of Teel & Hill, an old firm of blacksmiths and carriage makers. After his time as apprentice was out, he was employed as a journeyman for ten years.
