Biography
David Holmes was born about 1668
The will of John Holmes, Sr. does not reveal a son David; however, he is identified in the household of John Homes, Sr., in the 1710 Census, and Bedford Land Records identifies David in a land transaction in which his father, John Holmes, Sr. states "to my loving son, David Holmes, of the same place, etc, etc", several parcels of land. This is the only record that supports David's assignment as a son of John Holmes, Sr. in the Bedford Records. https://www.ctgenweb.org/county/cofairfield/pages/stamford/holmes_data.htm
