HOLBROOK.
The Sutton families of this name descend from Thomas Holbrook, who was in Weymouth in 1641. His name is found upon the earliest records of the town, and from the publie offices he held, it is evident that he was a citizen of high standing. He had, among other children, Thomas, who resided at Scituate, Weymouth and Braintree, and is referred to as a man of enterprise and wealth. Among the children of this Thomas was Peter, who settled at Mendon and died there May 3, 1712.
It is said of him : " He was an important man for his day, and laid the foundation of great good to his race, many of whom are still enjoying it within the circle of his former influence and possessions."
He had eleven children, among whom was Silvanus.
Silvanus was b. Aug. 16, 1685; m. Mar. 6, 1713, Mrs. Nancy Cook. Ch .- Silvanus, Ruth and John; he d. in 1740.

HOLMAN.
" The Holman family migrated from Wales to the Ber- muda Islands between 1670 and 1690. It included three sons, born in Wales. Two of the sons, Solomon and John, were seized by a press-gang and brought to Newburyport. There. they succeeded in escaping from the British ship.
John, the younger, settled in North Carolina. Solomon settled in Newbury ; married a Miss Mary Barton of Old York .*
Coffin, in his "History of Newbury," says, "Solomon Holman and his wife Mary came to Newbury about 1693 or 1694."
Ch .- 1, Mary, b. Feb. 24, 1695; 2, Solomon, b. Nov. 25, 1697; 3, Edward, b. Jan. 26, 1700; 4, Elizabeth, b. Oct. 24, 1701; 5, Thomas; 6, Rachel, m. Samuel Waters, Nov. 13, 1729; 7, Anne, m. Richard Waters, July 12, 1732; 8, Sarah, m. Abel Chase; 9, John.
David Holman, in the letter referred to, makes no men- tion of Mary and Elizabeth, but does of Rachel, Anne, Sarah and John.
Edward Holman was received into the church in 1731, and probably he and his brothers Solomon and Thomas came to Sutton about that time. According to the proprietors' records, Solomon, sen., of Newbury, divided, June 6, 1732, land which he had purchased in Sutton between the above named sons.
