England. He married Anne unknown, who was born in 1581 in Lindsey,
Suffolk County, England. She died in early 1618. William died October

and 1616, five sons were born.
Adam Holden, born
1605 in Aldham
Joseph Holden,
born about 1609
Richard Holden
was born about 1610 in Lindsey, Suffolk, England. Little is known of
his early life, but at approximately the age of twenty-five, he sailed with
his brother Justinian to America on April 30, 1634 on the Francis from Ipswich,
with John Cutting, master.
It is alleged that Justinian and Richard came to America due to religious
persecution and had in fact been arrested and detained in England for attending
dissenters meetings against the established church of England. They were
reportedly released with the understanding that they would not attend such
a meeting again.
He was noted as a glazier by trade and settled first in Ipswich, MA.
He had considerable land holdings in Ipswich and about a year later, he
moved to Watertown where his brother Justinian had settled. Richard
married Martha Fosdick, daughter of Stephen Fosdick and Anne Harre.
Richard and Justinian lived east of Grove Street on Belmont Street in
Watertown. On the 10th of the 3rd month of 1642, a highway was ordered
between Justinian Holden’s lot to George Parkhurst’s house, which was Grove
Street. This order was passed in May and in July Watertown records
mention the birth of Richard’s son Stephen. Among Watertown records
are three inventories, one of grants and possessions and the other of grants
and possessions in 1643. In 1644 – Record of the grants and possessions
of he lands in Watertown that were given to Richard were 1. A homestead of
five acres bounded the south with the highway and the north with George Parkhurst
Jr., the east with John Stebbin and the west with Justinian Holden. 2. Three
acres of upland bounded the North with the highway, the south with the meetinghouse
land, and the west with Henry Kembell Jr.
It appears that Richard moved from Watertown to Woburn “having sold his
place to J. Sherman in Watertown, MA 1655.” Records in Woburn list
him in 1654, 1657, and 1658 where he is listed as a proprietor of the town
of Woburn, MA. He also appears in court in Woburn in 1661.
He was admitted a freeman in May 1675 and in the same year reportedly
moved to Groton in 1662. According to “The Holden Genealogy” by Eben
Putnam, Richard was one of the pioneer settlers of the town of Groton, which
was attacked by Indians on March 13, 1675/6, and his home was one of the 46
burned. He then moved again to Watertown where Justinian was living,
but by 184 was again in Groton after a short stay in Woburn and Cambridge.
Until 1666, he was a member of the militia of Groton and was an original
member of the Groton church. Richard returned to live in Groton after
the death of his wife on December 6, 1681 in Watertown.
Although Richard became a considerable landowner, he acquired no more
than what was necessary to support himself and his family. With the
destruction of Groton and its property and stock, it probably deprived him
of personal property. After the death of his wife, he lived with his
son Stephen and all the land was given to Stephen except 33 acres, which
went to his sons Samuel. The Holden lands were in the SW of the now
present Groton and near the southern limits of the township, extending to
the river. He had several hundred acres on the northwesterly part of
what is now part of Shirley.
Richard died interstate on March 1, 1695/6 in Groton, Middlesex, MA.
His grave was probably marked with an uncarved boulder, according to the
custom of the day in remote districts, which has long since become overgrown
with turf. Richard and Martha had eleven known children.
1. Stephen, born July 19, 1642 in Watertown and died January 12, 1657 in
Cambridge. *Note: “Wee whom names are subscribed, being summoned by the
Constitution of Cambridge to view the boy of Steven Holden lately deceased,
we saw that his skull was crushed by a blow…came by the falling of a tree
which himself had been helping to fall and as he was going from it the
tree fell suddenly and contrary to the expectation of all that were present
and gave him his mortal wound on his head.”

Hello,My name is Beverly Barnhart. I have been researching my
family, which through a long line leads back to Ezra and Deborah Bigelow
Holden. Their son Ezra Shattuck married Elizabeth Davis, who is
my 3 greats grandmother. I don't know if you are interested, but
I have her birth and death date, as well as Ezra Shattuck's as well as
pictures. Are you interested in these to have posted on your site?
I also have pictures of Elizabeth's parents, Jason and Martha (Phillips)
Davis, and Ezra and Elizabeth's children. (They had nine, only four living
to adulthood.) I also have pictures that are unidentified, am curious
if you know of anyone who might help me. They are somehow associated
with the Holdens. I also have pictures of Joseph and Susan (Brown)
Holden, who was Ezra Shattuck's brother.
Do you have pictures of Deborah and Ezra or any of their kids, besides
Ezra S. and Joseph? Also do you have any info regarding Ezra and
Deborah, besides birth and death info, maybe an obit (may be too soon
for that) Anyway, if there is anything I can do for you, let
me know.
