The children of Joseph Holmes & Mary his wife
...
2 Ephraim Holmes born March 14th 1699.
[Note: MD, Vol. 20, p. 173, "Family Record of Joseph Holmes, Sr.", thought written by him, gives the same date, but adds a child Wrestling b. 8 Feb 1698[/99] that is not found in the VRs, which suggests this date is 1699/1700.]
