[Note: this source shows two sons named John, one born 1650 per town records, one born about 1657 justified by a cryptic comment "aged 22 in 1679". As no basis has yet been found (such as a deposition), excepting deeds in 1679 which indicate he was at least 21, it is unknown if this age has a basis or it is merely derived from an assumption of the author. At the same time, no event has been located that requires he be born earlier than 1657. There is no age on his death record, surprising with either birth date, as one would be about 99, the other about 106, and it is the implied age at death that suggests that the 1650 date may not have been the man who lived.]

Woburn 17 March 1650[/1?] [WoVR 1:121]
[Note: as explained here, Woburn records suggest the date is 1649/50, not 1650/51. However, Anderson shows only one son named John born 1650 for the father Richard, and gives him the three marriages. Since he did not follow the son through to the death date, it is not clear if he realized the age at death implied by this birthdate, since he does not mention it as an issue.]

HOLDEN, Mr. John, s. of ---, [died] Oct. --, 1756.
HOLDEN, Ensign John, s. of ---, [died] Oct. 18, 1756.
[Note: View town copy here. There is some confusion, but John III died 1753, age 21, and John Jr. had an administrator appointed 19 Apr 1756 so was dead by these dates, so apparently, both these death records belong to this man. It is surprising that the death of a man at least 99, and possibly 106, would NOT mention an age, or add "very old". Letters of administration on his estate were granted 15 Nov 1756 to Jonathan Holden, presumably his son, but the probate only has the bond and the inventory, with no identifying information for the deceased, and his relationship to Jonathan is not specified. A deed in 1748, acknowledged 22 Apr 1756 by "Mr John Holden" (Middlesex deed Vol. 53, p. 451) shows John Holden of Woburn Gen't, conveying to son Jonathan Holden of Woburn, land in Stoneham.]
