- Francis was a watchman in 1648 and was abused by a drunk by being hit in the face. He got 20 shillings for his suffering by the court. He was probably a young man in 1650 as he didn't own land yet. Francis was fined for being drunk. Francis was in Stamford by 1648 with a home on the south side of East Street. He had a servant: Cornelius Hunt. (JT- I am confused by the one statement that he was a young man and didn't own land in 1650 but then another line stated he owned a house......)
may have lived in Watertown, MA, Wethersfield, Stamford or Greenwich, CT or Bedford, NY

hem, for wc. (which) upon his confision of his own filt he is find to p[ay]
ten shiling to ye us[e] of ye county court." This indescretion by Goodman
Holmes was apparently not as offensive as was the next offense recorded in the
town records, "Mikill Shawe, being acused for working on ye Saboth
[illegible] to breach of ye Saboth, he being convicted of it, acknowledg ye
sen and was sorry for it, so is fined 20s. for ye miscaridg, and sc. he
ingaged to paye when caled for."
Other references in Stamford Town Records to Francis Holmes show him being a
creditor in amount of one pound on 8-Dec-1648 of John Whitmore's estate.
Whitmore had been murdered by an Indian.
In a record of those who on 22-Apr-1667 intended to use the town horse
pasture, "Frans. Homes" was registered for one horse.
In 1667 he was chosen "veiuers for ye fence belonging to ye horse pasteure;
and its vosted (voted) yt they shall goe forth to vew ye sayd fence tomorrow
in ye afternoone, and for what fence Yey shall finde materially defectif, or
hath not bin done anything to, such owner shall paye 2 s. 6 d. for a fine, and
soe m'ch for every daye afterwards yt it shall lye undone.
On 17-Jan-1667/68 he was one of the two men designated to determine the best
location of proposed fencing. The final record of his service to the town was
the 27-Jun-1673 election of "Sen'r Homs" as a fence viewer for the East Field.
Francis Holmes was a blacksmith and he invaribly signed by mark.
