∼Holmes-Hendrickson House in Pleasant Valley. Called Jonathan Holmes Jr. to distinguish him from his uncle and cousin of the same name who lived nearby. Birth and death accurate within a year or so but not exact. Will proved in 1768. Loads of info in the Monmouth County archives. Surely buried in a Monmouth County cemetery as was the custom, but no legible marker found to locate him.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: May 18 2022, 17:00:41 UTC
