Note.— Mrs. Lillian S. Davis, formerly of Purcellville,
Va., now Mrs. Russell Lynn, of Leesburg, is a great grand-
daughter of William and Abigail (Hughes) Holmes, as her
husband, William S. Davis, was a great grandson of Gideon
and Nancy Davis. They were hence third cousins. William
Holmes, of Calder's Bridge, Lancaster County, England, http://www.geni.com/people/William-Holmes-Sr/6000000007781214393
grandfather of William Holmes, of Virginia, about the year
1700, married Margaret Fell, of Lancaster Co., Eng., http://www.geni.com/people/Margaret-Holmes/6000000007781266207 dau.
of Chief Justice Fell, of the King's High Court of England.

Their son, William, Jr., http://www.geni.com/people/William-Holmes-Jr/6000000007780914888 came to America with his uncle
Fell, a shipping merchant, who established Fell's Point, Bal-
timore, now known as Old Town. William Holmes, Jr.,
later went from Baltimore to Virginia, and in 1753, in the
F'riends" Meeting House in Waterford, Loudoun Co., Va.,
married Mary Cove. He bought a farm called Green Hill,
near Hughesville, Loudoun Co., lived there, and raised his
family in a house that was torn down to make way for the
present (1906) structure, which was built by their son Wil-
liam Holmes, 3rd, in 1791, who married Abigail Hughes.
The Holmes heirs were at law for several years over Fell's
Point, when the matter was at last dropped on account of
the most important papers in the case being lost by the burn-
ing of the house in which they were temporarily held.
