Solaman Holman, Thomas Follensbee, Enoch Little and Ezekiel Holes, Consecration and Donation received, on Record, Jan. 19, 1732.
To all persons to Whom this presents shall come, greeting. Know ye, that we, Solaman Holman, Thomas Follensbee, Enoch Little and Ezekiel Holes, all of Newbury, County Essex, New England, being as (we hope,) animated with a becoming zeal for the glory of God, and the comfort and happiness of our neighbors in general, have built a good meeting-house for the Publick Worship of God, as it now stands at Huses Hill, so called, and whereas the great and general Courts have been pleased to establish a distinct precinct. We, the above, Solaman Holman, etc., do freely, willingly, and absolutely, give and grant to all our Brethren of our said precinct, and all and every person, male and female, that doth or hereafter may belong to our said Precinct, as good right and privilege in said house to waite on the publick worship as Ourselves have or shall have, and enjoy forever, and to have and enjoy the same privileges in said house in all respects according to their respective qualities which they should have had, if they had been joint builders with us, and the said house to be forever for the use of the said precinct, to all intents and purposes as other meeting-houses in other precincts are. Yet notwithstanding if any of our Brethren and neighbors should see cause to give anything toward the reimbursement of the building of said house, we should be thankful to them for the same.
To all the foregoing,June 22, 1731. SOLAMAN HOLMAN and a Seal. - The Holmans in America
Land bought by Solaman Holman, of Newbury, at Sutton, Mass: June 30, 1719, of James Smith, of Boston, who was a sugar merchant,--500 acres in Sutton, Mass., for n Sutton, No. 4 2" range, 30 acres,--100 acres in lot No. 23, etc. - Registry of Deeds at Boston Court House.
Solaman Holman divided among his sons, Edward, Thomas, and Solomon lands in Sutton, now known as Millbury. From 1726 Solomon's estate in village of West Millbury. From there is seen the site of Fort or Block-house of Indian days of Sutton.
Soloman Holman was one of the early settlers in the west parish of Newbury. He was born in England, served 7 years on board a man of war, ran away in Bermuda, when sent after milk, secreted himself in the barn till the vessel sailed, and lived by milking the cows. He was discovered by the owner of the barn, who befriended him, and gave him employment. He afterward married his employers daughter Mary, came to Newbury, built him a bark and then a log house on land of which he bought 13 acres for a fat heifer. Mr Holman died may 7, 1753, in his 82nd. year. This land is now owned by Mr. Jonathan Lisley, from whom I obtained this account.
- from "A Sketch of Newbury, Newburyport & West Newbury" by Joshua Coffin, A.B.H.S. Printed in 1845
Soloman was a member of the 2nd Foot Company Militia of Newbury, under Hugh, March, January 15, 1710
