Benjamin Holmes

Spouse: Minerva Howe
Marriage:

• Monroe County, Michigan, death certification 326, registered no. 2 (1910), Mary J. Peters; Michigan Department of Community Health, Division for Vital Records and Health Statistics, Lansing, Michigan; database with images, "Michigan, U.S., Death Records, 1867-1952," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/60872/images/44471_354879-01435 : accessed 5 Apr 2023).

Notes:

This is probably the Benjamin Holmes enumerated in the 1830 U.S. census in Batavia, Genesee Co, NY. In the household were two males 14 or under, three males 20 through 29, a male 30 through 39, a male 40 through 49, and a male 50 through 59. Also in the household were three females 14 or under, and a female 20 through 29 (presumably Minerva).

There was a Benjamin Holmes enumerated in the 1840 census living in Hudson, Lenawee Co, MI, (not far from Adrian) aged 50 through 59, with a female (presumably his wife), aged 50 through 59 - too old to be Minerva.

It is likely Benjamin Holmes died before the 1840 census was taken.
