    Notes 
    • From Frederica Trapnell research notes:

      Rebecca… was born in York County, Pennsylvania, on November 8, 1748. She married Joseph Holmes in 1767. In her will dated September 10, 1806, and proved October 6, 1806, she left a feather bed and bedding to each of her daughters, Elizabeth McGuire and Rebecca Contrad.  To another daughter, Gertrude Holmes, she left the remainder of her beds and bedding and one “filley known by the name of Venus.” To each of her sons, Joseph Holmes and Andrew Hunter Holmes, she left a two-year old colt.  All the rest of her property was to be sold and the receipts divided equally between her daughters, Elizabeth McGuire, Rebecca Contrad and Gertrude Holmes, and her sons, Joseph and Andrew Hunter Holmes. Her executors were Archibald Magill and Thomas Faucett.  Martin Cartmell and David Holmes gave bond in the amount of $10,000. Her daughter Margaret Holmes Legrand had died, and no mention was made of her son Judge Hugh Holmes nor of her daughter Nancy Holmes Boyd. (Fred. Co. WIll Bk. 8, p. 254-244, 1806). [2]
