I am researching the surname HOLMES in DeKalb County. I have a copy of an 1872 letter written by my 3rd G-Grandfather John HOLMES in which he mentions his brother David HOLMES who had been living in Missouri. In this same letter, John mentions David's sons: Paul, Simon and Samuel. Another son to David was living in Oregon. I have since found land records showing that all four men purchased land in DeKalb County: David as early as 1838. I would like to contact anyone who might know of these HOLMES men and their families. I would mostly like to know David's birth and death dates, and who his parents were, who his wife was, etc. We are trying to establish the parentage of the three HOLMES brothers: John, David and Thomas. John lived in Roane County, TN; Thomas in Noxubee County, Mississippi, and this David might have actually lived in Harrison County, MO. But it seems too coincidental to find the names in the 1872 letter all buying land in DeKalb county, and then they would not be &quotour" HOLMES. John HOLMES daughter, Malinda Holmes BOWMAN lived in Harrison County, MO and John says in his letter that she would have the address for David's sons.
