From The Holden Genealogy, page 152–153:155
    Jabez Holden was a physician. His descendants know nothing of his antecedents. Ebenezer Holden was of Bedford Plantation (now Granville) in 1745, and added to his original holding there, one of his purchases being of Daniel Brown of Bedford in 1748. Four years prior to this, 29 Sept., 1744, Jabez Holden of Fomfret, Conn., bought a homestall in No. 3 of the Housatonic Townships, which later became Sandisfield. He did not then settle there, but in March, 1752 bought 62 acres in Oxford, where he remained until at least 1760.2 He was one of the proprietors of house lots in Sandisfield, between December, 1758 and 10 March, 1760, and his name appears among the subscribers to the Covenant of the Congregational Church at Sandisfield dated 14 Feb., 1756, but he signed at a later date. He was admitted to the church by letter from “Ashford” 13 Sept., 1761. Miss Larned fails to mention Dr. Holden in her history of Windham County.
    He was enumerated in the Census of 1790 as of Sandisfield, having in his family two females. His son Samuel was head of another family in that town.
