My 3rd great grandma Holden was born in Vermont in 1815

shes my last holdout who may have had a rebel/patriot father or grandfather..

but I have not been able to find her parents..

for the 1820, 1830 census in Vermont the familes are listed as John Holden one wife 6 children etc...

Her 1888 Gowanda, New York death certificate identiries the Vermont birth...

and Ive seen the original death ledger...

and the 1861, 1871, 1891 Grantham, Ontario, Canadia census lists her as born in the US..

There are more than 20 Holdens from Vermont listed in the DAR directory..

also there were several Holdens from New Hampshire and MASS

My GGrandmothers family emigrated from NH to Vermont around 1745. Found that out by accident because I was using a LDS genealogy and they don't go into a lot of detail, with exceptions, about non Mormon ancestors. Just names and dates.

That and they left the NY area in 1833 and went West a lot of information lost.
