54 JOSEPH HOLMES, son of Obadiah Holmes, 11, died July, 1777; married Elizabeth. daughter of John Ashton. Joseph Holmes lived at Upper Freehold, [now Cream Ridge], on land still in possession of his descendants.
He was a member of the Middletown Baptist Church, in 1733, and in 1766, was one of the founders of the Baptist Church, of Upper Freehold. His wife, Elizabeth, died in 1750, for in that year, Nov. 8, Joseph Holmes, of Upper Freehold, yeoman, with John Lawrence, at- torney-at-law, as bondsman, qualified as administrator of the estate of Elizabeth Holmes, of Upper Freehold, in the sum of £1ooo.
Joseph Holmes erected a very substantial house. In this he dwelt. for many years, and it is today occupied by his descendant, Mrs. Rue, nee Holmes. Another, distant but a short way from there, and now called the Wykoff House, with date 1766, in its gable end, is occupied by descendants in the female line. This was built for his son, Joseph Holmes.
Mrs. Rue, and the members of her family, (Mr. Rue, her daughter, Mrs. Miers, with her husband and children), have gathered about them, in this capacious and quaint old house, many personal effects and portraits of the earlier members of her family, making it a most attractive home. It still stands, a fine example of early colonial architecture, in the possession of the descendants of the original owner.
Joseph Holmes died 1777. and was buried on a knoll on his farm at Cream Ridge, a few hundred yards from the present house of Mr. Havens. This property was originally the Ashton farm, and one of great fertility. When John Ashton died, it passed to his daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Holmes, and Rebecca, wife of Capt. Jeremiah Stillwell. On this knoll, still indicated plainly and capped by a clump of trees, was the Ashton graveyard. Since the death of the last Ashton, the property has passed through numerous hands, some of which I am told have been Mr. Wykoff, Michael Taylor, Mr. Burgis and Mr. Buckalew, to its present owner, Mr. Havens. During the ownership of some of these individuals, the old Ashton graveyard was allowed to go to ruin, and the fallen gravestones removed, and used for baser. if more practical purposes. In 1899, I saw that of Joseph Holmes doing duty as a doorstep to the pig pen, and nothing of its inscription left, save the date 1777, and a few letters, in- dicating his name; while part of another stone was incorporated in the wall of the same sty. and that of, seemingly, the wife of Capt. Jeremiah Stillwell, did duty as part of the flooring of this same pen, too much effaced to yield any exact information. Many worthy descendants of these people deplore this condition too late, alas, to prevent it, and now are unable to rectify it.
It is of common occurrence to read in old executor's accountings, a charge for a gravestone, all trace of which later disappeared. When its loss is investigated, it is found the stone had fallen, and once fallen, the new owner of the land justified his conscience, carted it from sight, and annexed to his farm the little quarter acre lot sacred to the ashes of the dead. That poster- ity forgets its dead is no reason why others should annex the land, yet in justice the care of these lots ought not to be imposed on any save the descendants.
The absorption of the Ashton ground in this vicinity does not stand alone, fer I was told that at Cox's Corner, near Wrightsville, the original Cox graveyard was not far from three
319
HOLMES OF MONMOUTH COUNTY
acres in size, and contained many stones of this and other families, and that it is now reduced greatly in size, and in the number of its stones also, now but two or three; that the old Thomp- son graveyard, at John Miller's place, has been recently levelled; that thirty or forty years ago, there was a graveyard on the old Rue farm, of which there is now no trace, and which some say contained only colored folk, which others deny, and that the graveyard of the Hornet's, at Hockey Mick, has largely gone.
On the Davis farm, at Jeame's Hill, I saw portions of stones still in the ground, while parts of others, as well as complete stones, were laid in the masonry of a small bridge adjacent. which crossed a gully, and had it not been for objections raised by the Lawrences, their grave- yard, also in this locality, would have been effaced. A sad commentary upon the neglect and cupidity of man!
In the possession of Mrs. Rue is a very old bible which contains the following family record : Joseph & Elizabeth Holmes children; Written by me Wm Baker; Master Instead of a Better; April ye 8th, 1732.
John Holmes was Born ; Jan. y8 29, 1723/4. Allis 66

James and Mary Holmes, children of Samuel, deceased, Cioo each.
Appointed his brother. Obadiah Holmes, his brother-in-law, James Mott, and Obadiah Holmes, son of his brother Samuel Holmes, executors.
He signed his name to his will.
The inventory of his personal estate amounted to £5840.6.8., and included Books valued at £28.15.o. and silver, etc., at £1.10.0.
1733. James Holmes mortgaged land in Upper Freehold to the Commissioners, which he had bought of Peleg Smith, Esq., of R. I.
James Holmes, 56, was a member of the 18th, 19th and 20th Provincial Assemblies. from 1754 till his death, in 1762. There can be no doubt that it was this James Holmes, and not his nephew, James, 101, as stated in New Jersey Archives, Vol. XIX, who held this position. James, son of Samuel and Huldah (Mott) Holmes was born 31st Jan., 1738/9, consequently would not have been old enough to have held such an office in 1754. A letter from Obadiah Holmes, 60, to his brother Joseph, dated 1754, speaks of "brother James at present, ftands in that publich ftation," etc., which leaves not a doubt as to the identity of the two.
57 SAMUEL HOLMES, son of Obadiah Holmes, 11, 'born Apr. 17, 1704, O. S .; died, Feb. 23, 1760, aet. 55, 10, 6; married, 7 Dec., 1731, IFuldah, daughter of Gershom and Sarah (Clayton) Mott; born 10 Dec., 1709; died, Sept. 4, 1784, aet. 74, 9, 24; elsewhere it is said she was born Oct. 31, 1709.
They are both buried in Holmdel Baptist Churchyard.
He was the executor of Jonathan Holmes, 66.
He bought land, in 1729, of Gershom Cottrell near Hop Brook.
His plantation was called Scotschester.
In 1753, the account of his estate given in to the Assessor was " 1620 acres of land, 55 cattle at 2 years old and upwards, 23 horses and mares, 92 sheep, 3 white servants, 2 negro men." In 1752, "In the poor rate tax I paid about ye 23rd part of the tax of the Township of Freehold and there is about 255 householders in Freehold."
He and his wife were both members of the Middletown Baptist Church.
Of his subscription money to the Rev. Abel Morgan he writes, "Note I did subscribe to pay to said Morgan at his first settling in Middletown the sum of twenty shillings proc. every year and have paid yearly."
He was a saddler by trade.
1759, Apl. 5. His will, proved Mch. 7, 1760, says he resided at Freehold, and mentions: Wife, Huldah
Executors: his brother, James Holmes, and his brother-in-law, James Mott.
Inventory of his personal estate amounted to £1664.0.1115.
In the old Bible belonging to Mr. Asher Holmes, of Wickatunk, N. J., is the entry: "Sam- uel Holnies depar Ied th . . . . . February 20th 1760 in the fifty . . . year of his age." [Record worn away where dois appear.]
