Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... of taxation without representation was squarely made between the Mother country and her American colonies. Looking back along the narrow line, which even these four lives present, commencing with the dominance, intolerance and persecutions of the established church in England, Old and New; remembering the efforts to stifle and pervert the terms and guaranties of charters and patents to the prejudice of the rights and liberties of the subjects; recalling the oppressions of the representatives of the crown, proprietary or official, the grasping after quit rents and taxes and land titles by such representatives or usurpers of the offices, taxation without representation, the logic of events, shaped by Great Britain, led irresistibly to the Revolution. Something in the very air, the atmosphere of the new world, inspired and bred a love of freedom and justice. Government, the ruling classes, might hang and burn and whip, the sense of the people--the masses--was in favor of righteousness and against the wrongs and in the end the people had their way. The Ellis history of Monmouth County credits the formal organization of the Baptist Church in Upper Freehold to Joseph Holmes--first named in the list--and forty-six others, who had asked and received letters of dismission for that purpose from the Middletown Baptist Church, and fixes the date of such organization "on the 10th day of May, A. D. 1766." It was known for seven years as the Crosswicks Baptist Church--now the Yellow Meeting House. There was a Jonathan Holmes among these founders, but no Obadiah. The church privileges of the Upper Freehold Baptists down to 1766 seem to have been of a desultory character, locally, with their membership in a church eighteen or twenty miles away...

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Family of Rev. Obadiah Holmes In volume 64, at pages 237-239, July number, 1910, of The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is a brief outline of the immediate English ancestry and connections of Rev. Obadiah Holmes. The research on the genealogical line, which led back to him, as the immigrant ancestor, was commenced in January, 1900, as the result of the receipt of two letters from relatives in the west, one residing at Kansas City, Missouri, and the other at Denison, Iowa. The former was seeking to settle his relationship to Colonel Joseph Holmes, 1771-1868, a pioneer of the early days in Western Pennsylvania, the Pan Handle of Virginia and Eastern Ohio, and the latter was disclosing a short page of manuscript about the family which he had received from a Rhode Island genealogist, who had disappointed him by his exceedingly limited discoveries, in that behalf. Obtaining a literal transcript of the family record in the Bible of Col. Joseph Holmes and a similar transcript from the Bible of his son Asa, an investigation of the ancestral line was commenced, following it backward, with the design, at the outset, of tracing from son to father, noting births, names, marriages, residences and deaths, to Colonial times, if possible. Once enlisted in the work, the enterprise and the interest grew and extended and broadened and deepened until it became the absorbing engagement - occupying every spare moment outside of the profession - of making an elaborate brief on the facts and the law of an intensely interesting case.
