From The Holden Genealogy, pages 143–144:155
Daniel Holden received from his father a gift of thirty acres in Worcester, bounded south by Blackstone River, otherwise by land of the grantor, Ephraim Rice and Thomas Adams, and by the road to Sutton. The deed was dated 21 Oct., 1736, and was doubtless on occasion of his expected marriage.
In 1743 he was living on the east side of the road to Sutton, in a house he built on land belonging to his father, and in October of that year he bargained with John Chandler, Esq., one of the principal proprietors and important men of the town, to purchase half the grist mill, water privilege, dam and twenty-four acres land adjoining, which Chandler had bought of Ephraim and Eleakim Rice, formerly held by John and Joshua Child. To secure the purchase he and his father gave to Chandler deeds to their land and Daniel’s house. Chandler deeded the half interest in the mill property, 9 July, 1744, and the land held as security was released. Probably this venture did not prove so successful as anticipated, for a few years later Daniel sold his Worcester property and removed to Rutland, having obtained from the Proprietors of Rutland, 20 Nov., 1752, a deed to what was called the “schoolhouse lot,” and there erected a house in which his widow dwelt 10 April, 1756, when she sold the house and fifty acres to Matthias Stone for £116.
Daniel Holden in early deeds is described as husbandman, and as mason in later deeds and in the settlement of his estate.
He enlisted in the army in 1755, and from 11 June to 28 October, 1755, appears as sergeant on the rolls of the company commanded by Captain Solomon Keyes in the campaign against Crown Point. Administration was granted on his estate, his residence being given as New Rutland District, to Rachel Holden, 29 Nov., 1755. John Whitemore of Leicester was her surety. The inventory of the estate disclosed fifty acres with buildings, valued at £105, and small personal estate, with small debts to Thomas and James Holden.
Daniel moved to that part of Rutland called New Rutland which in 1774 was set off as a separate town, named Barre in 1776 in honor of Isaac Barré, an Irish Member of Parliament who championed American Independence.
