Hi everyone,

First time posting to this list. My interest are the family of Abraham
Holden. According to his Rev. War pension papers he was born July 10,
1762. This does coincide (but not proven) with the family of Thomas and
Ruth (Baker) Holden from Worcester County, MA.

In 1776 he enlisted (young lad of 14) as a fifer in the Rev. War in
Haverhill, Grafton County,NH. In 1780/81 he listed his residence as
Hancock, Hillsborough County, NH. He is listed in the 1790 (1 male 16 &
up; 2 male 16 & under; 3 females), 1800 (1 male under 10; 1 male 16 & under
25; 1 male 26 & under 45; 4 females under 10; 3 females 10 & under 16; 1
female 26 & under 45), and 1810 (I don't have this one yet) census in
Loudon, Merrimack County, NH. After living in Loudon, NH for 20/30 years
he lived in Leicester, Addison County, Vermont (except for a short time in
Ticonderago, Essex County, NH in 1840). He died February 12, 1845 in
Leicester, VT. I have only been able to find one child for Abraham, that
is Aaron b: abt. 1805 in New Hampshire. Loudon town clerk has no record
for Aaron. Aaron also lived in Leceister, VT, where he married (1st) Nov.
11, 1826 - Orpha Whitmore; (2nd) abt. 1847 -Sarah Huntley. Of these
unions there were born:

Sallie Sofia Holden - abt. 1827
Nathan Austin Holden - abt. 1828
Josephus Nelson Holden - January 25, 1830
Earl Douglas Holden - abt. 1831
Charlotte Marie Holden - abt. 1834
Elbra Elizabeth Holden - October 02, 1835
Orpha Adeline Holden - May 30, 1841
Olive Julianna Holden - abt. 1842
Betsey J. Holden - abt. 1848
Abraham Austin Holden - January 20, 1851
Rose Matilda Holden - abt. 1852
Sarah Abbie Holden - July 16, 1856
Ida M. Holden - January 13, 1859
Jennie Holden - November 20, 1861
William A. Holden - abt. 1863

I'm posting this in the hopes someone has additional information on my
Abraham. I need to find who he was living with in Haverhill, NH in 1776 and
who he married and if possible who his children were.

Thanks in advance and if you can't help me thanks for reading this.
