From The Holy Bible

Preceding the New Testament is a "Family Register" beginning with Rev. Benjamin Webb (1695 - 1746), a preacher, of Eastham, Mass. Three generations of Webbs are listed here. His fifth child and youngest son, Barnabas Webb (1731), married Mary Holmes (b. 1734), daughter of Boston silversmith William Holmes. Her family records are listed for four generations, starting with Rev. William Homes, born in Ireland in 1663, moved to Chilmark, MA. Name is variously spelled Homes/Holmes in this Bible. One of the Holmes, a sea captain, married the sister of Benjamin Franklin.
