From The Holden Genealogy, page 236:155
    The census of 1790 enumerated Jeduthan Holden at Orange, head of family consisting of self, another male over sixteen, three under sixteen, and one female. There is no mention of his buying or selling land in Worcester or Berkshire counties, nor settlement of his estate.
    He chose John Chandler of Worcester his guardian 30 April, 1775 and 10 Aug., 1757, was impressed as a soldier for relief of Fort William Henry, and marched to Sheffield, in company of Captain John Carter, Colonel John Chandler’s regiment. He served sixteen days. He enlisted from Rutland, 18 Nov., 1761, and served until 1 July, 1762, in company of Captain Silas Brown. He reenlisted 1 July and served until 12 Nov., 1762, in company of Captain Gideon Parker. He
appears also to have had other service, for we find a man listed as Jede^r and as Jada^n credited with service as corporal in company of Captain Thomas Cowdin, 20 June to 2 Dec., 1760, and 5 May to 17 Nov., 1761, the residence of the soldier in the last enlistment being given as Rutland.
    He also served in the Revolution, being then of Barre, and his residence given sometimes as of Hutchinson (Barre) and of Rutland. He enlisted 20 April, 1775, was at the battle of Bunker Hill, and still in the service last of October, and probably until the last of the year. He reenlisted 1 Oct., 1776, and served until 1 Dec., 1776, at Ticonderoga. He again enlisted, for duration of war, in Sprout’s regiment of Continentals, and was at Valley Forge. He was on furlough 28 Jan., 1778.
On 3 Dec 1766 Jeduthan married Hannah Hayward (52300) , daughter of Charles Hayward (35456) (24 Dec 1723-16 Apr 1806) & Abigail Hubbard (ca 1725-23 Feb 1812), in Barre, MA.155 Born in Sep 1748 in Rutland, MA. Hannah died in Hopkinton, MA on 10 Jan 1826.

    Daniel Holden early settled in Shrewsbury. He was a cabinet maker. He marched on the Lexington Alarm in Captain Job Cushing’s company from Shrewsbury; enlisted for eight months, 28 April, 1775, and was in the service in November. The following year he enlisted in June, and returned in November, having served in company commanded by Captain Seth Newton, stationed part of the time on the North River, New York. He responded to alarms, and served at Bennington in a company commanded by Captain Asa Rice, and also in 1777 in company commanded by Captain Jonathan Wright. In 1781 he enlisted in the Continental line for nine months, was then aged thirty-two years, was five feet eight inches in height and of light complexion. He served on the Hudson for three months, and part of the time was stationed at West Point.1
    The census of 1790 enumerated him at Shrewsbury, at head of family consisting of self, two other males over sixteen, two under sixteen and one female.
    It is said that he sympathized with the followers of Daniel Shays, and that lead stolen from the town magazine was for a time hidden in his barn; but that later he changed his opinions and was instrumental in electing an anti-Shays Deputy to the General Court in May, 1792, which led the opposing faction to make charges against him, of which he was acquitted on trial. He then removed to Charlton.
On 20 Aug 1766 Daniel first married Jemima Tucker (53655) , daughter of Jedediah Tucker (37007) (14 Sep 1712-ca 1812) & Joanna Kenrick (19 Oct 1715-14 Jan 1759), in Shrewsbury, MA. Born ca 1747 in Dedham, MA. Jemima died on 23 Jan 1786.

From The Holden Genealogy, pages 239–241:155
    James Holden was of Adams at the commencement of the American Revolution. After the war he appears to have settled at Lee, and in 1802 was one of the proprietors of land at Batavia in New York. His military service is given as follows:
    Enlisted 22 April, 1775; discharged 5 May, Captain Sloan’s company, 26th regiment (Colonel Patterson). He immediately reenlisted the same day, and was in the service in Patterson’s regiment in August. He signed the “Coat Roll,” 29 October, 1775.
    In 1832 James Holden applied for a pension and made declaration of his service as follows:
 16 Oct., 1832, appeared before the judges of the Court of Common Pleas of the County ofGenesee, James Holden, a resident of Batavia, aged seventy-six years.
    He entered the service in the fore part of April, 1775, at Adams, Mass., where he then resided, in a regiment of militia under Colonel Patterson, in the company commanded by Captain Samuel Sloan, as a volunteer and private and continued in said service until some timeinJanuary,1776. He marched from Adams to Cambridge, near Boston, and was stationed at Charlestown until he 'was discharged. While he was at this place the battle of Bunker Hill took place, but he was not in it, although he was so near the scene of action that he could see it distinctly. The regiment to which he belonged was stationed at Charlestown to guard the place. While stationed at this place the British made an attack on a picket guard of the Americans stationed at Lechmere’s Point; a warm skirmish ensued in which he participated, and in which the British were repulsed. During his service under this engagement he frequently saw General Washington, General Putnam and General Greene.
    In July, 1776, he again enlisted, at Adams, in a company of militia commanded by Captain William White, as a volunteer and continued in said service at least six weeks. His discharge was a verbal one. The company was raised to go to Otter Creek in Vermont to protect the frontier against the British, Indians and Tories. The company to which he belonged was all that accompanied him from Adams onthisexpedition. He marched from Adams to Otter Creek, thence to Castleton in Vermont. He marched through Bennington, at which place the company to which he belonged joined the regiment under Colonel Seth Warner under whose command he continued until discharged. He was acquainted with the said Warner and Captain Hutchings of the regular army.
    In July, 1777, he again enlisted as a volunteer at Adams in a company commanded by Captain William White, raised to go to Skeensborough, New York, to guard the place against the British, Tories and Indians. He was out in said service on this expedition about four weeks. The expedition was made upon a sudden alarm given out that the British, Indians and Tories were about to attack and burn that place.
    A short time previous to Bennington Battle he again entered said service as a volunteer at Adams, in a company of militia commanded by Captain Brown, and continued in service under this engagement at least three months. He marched from Adams to Williamstown, thence to Bennington where he joined the regiment under Colonel Seth Fenick and where a battle ensued between the British and American troops, called Bennington Battle, in which the said Holden took part. From Bennington to Stillwater in New York, where he was stationed at the time of the surrender of General Burgoyne and where he remained until his discharge from service.
    He stood as a minute man during the whole of the war. He was out in said service a number of times besides those aforesaid, the particular periods of which or the names of the officers under whom he served, he cannot state. He is confident he was actually employed in said service during the war under different engagements at least two years.
    He was born at Berry, Mass., on the fifteenth day of February, 1756. He has a record of his age in his Bible at his place of residence in Batavia. At the close of the war he resided at Adams and after the war, about eight years. Thence he moved to Springfield, Otsego County, N. Y., where he resided about fourteen years. From this place he moved to Batavia, N. Y., where he has since resided, about twenty-six years. In the campaign at the capture of Burgoyne he served with the regiment under Colonel Warner: saw Generals Gates and Arnold and Colonel Warner. He served with the corps under their command. He never received but one written discharge from service, that was from Colonel Patterson and is lost. The rest were verbal. He is known to William Keyes, Phinehas L. Tracy, Lucius Smith and Ethan B. Allen, residents in his present neighborhood, who can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of his services as a soldier of the Revolution.”
    From the above statements it appears that James Holden performed military duty other than the extant rolls show. He was at the battle of Bennington, 17 Aug., 1777, and remained in the service until Burgoyne surrendered in October.
    The Massachusetts Revolutionary Rolls credit him with a tour of duty he does not mention in his declaration:
    “Private in Captain Levi Brown’s company. Colonel Asa Barnes’s Berkshire regiment; enlisted 30 Oct., 1781; discharged 7 November; detached for service on alarm of 30 Oct., 1781, and joined army under General Stark at Saratoga.”
    James Holden of Canjoharie town, N. Y., was enumerated in the census of 1790, as head of a family consisting of self, five males under sixteen years, and four females. In 1810, James of Batavia, over forty-five years, had in his family two males between ten and sixteen years, three between sixteen and twenty-six, one female over forty-five and one between sixteen and twenty-six.
In Aug 1774 James married Eunice Hinman, daughter of Reuben Hinman (7 Sep 1735-24 Jan 1792) & Mary Downs (ca 1738-23 Jan 1831), in Adams, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Born on 1 Jan 1757 in Adams, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Eunice died in Batavia, Genesee County, New York, on 6 Jun 1834; she was 77.155
