He was the clerk of the courts and finally held a com- mission as a Judge or Justice from Governor Leisler, who had the misfortune — — to be hanged for treason, so called. He was not guilty, but was on the contrary patriotic and faithful to his colony and his duty. Concurrently with the mishap to the Governor, the Judge made a final settlement at Salem in the colony of West or South Jersey, a little way below Philadelphia and across the Delaware river. He was a Judge of Salem county perhaps a dozen years, was a prime mover in establishing the Baptist Church at Cohansey, the place of his residence, and in that region, and occupied its pulpit as one of its ministers — though never in the regular ministry — in addition to his judicial and other duties as a leading citizen.

Virginia John's son Abraham was the President's grandfather and was killed by Indians in the '80's of the eighteenth century, after his removal to Kentucky. John remained at Newport. He was twice married ; was a Lieutenant in the militia, many years — sixteen — the general treas- urer of the colony of Rhode Island, a member of the House of Deputies, at different times, often employed and trusted, other- wise, in the public service, and died October 2, , leaving a widow and several children.
Samuel, who married Alice Stillwell, settled at Gravesend and some of his descendants still reside there and on Staten Island. Edwin Salter of New Jersey, one of the Holmes blood, who wrote the Early Dutch Settlers of that colony, prepared a three and a half column article on "Rev. Obadiah Holmes, his ancestry, children and neighbors," which was printed in the Monmouth Democrat, newspaper, of September 6, Obadiah Holmes, married John Browne, born , son of Rev.
Chad Browne. This Browne family is the one distinguished in Rhode Island, and from some of its members Browne University took its name. Obadiah, must have been born about Salter might have gone further with the evidence drawn from names of the Brown children. John was the name of an uncle and Martha was the name of an aunt. I have seen it stated somewhere that Mary and Martha were twins. Holmes Family 57 Mr. Salter did not seem to know of the John, born and who died at Manchester, England, nor of Joseph, who was well known at Newport.
He says there were eight children. I have much regretted that Mr. Salter's health failed and that he died before he prepared the more detailed history of the Holmes family, which he had in mind, for he was a discrimi- nating and capable genealogist and writer. By the way. Brown University, located at Providence, founded in , one of the strongest institutions of learning in the land, was known as Rhode Island College until Most, if not all, of the other children lived and died in Rhode Island.

Thomas Armitage and H. King in their separate writings of these current years. In his case, it may justly be said that "the blood of the martyr has been the seed of the church.
