I. FAMILY OF BARACHIAS HOLT.
The first four ancestors in the line of Barachias Holt, I. NICHOLAS1, II. SAMUEL2, III. SAMUEL3, JR., and IV. JOHN4, are the same as the first four in the following, or Ephraim Holt, family. V.

He bought a lot of land in S., in what is District No. 3, in 1784, which he owned a short time. His house is said to have been near a fine spring, at the site of 131. The pasture is now owned by Walter S. Barker. Barachias m., Oct. 14, 1783, Elizabeth Shattuck. They had six ch., whose births are all recorded in Wilton, where they were doubtless all born.
