Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Charles (1) Holden was born 3 Apr 1719, Warwick, RI (son of Charles Holden, Jr. and Penelope Bennett); died 25 Sep 1719, Warwick, RI.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Charles Holden, Jr. was born Between Jun 1686 and 1695 (son of Charles Holden and Catherine Greene); died 20 Jan 1785, Warwick, RI; was buried 22 Jan 1785, Elder Charles Holden Lot, Second Point Rd., Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    He was ordained 16 June 1757. His will, dated 14 Jan 1782 and proved 13 June 1785, freed most if not all of their family's slaves. At his funeral, Elder John Gorton preached on 2 Timothy 4:7 & 8.

    "HOLDEN Elder Charles, at Warwick, aged 89 years, 7 months, 15 days; funeral text Timothy 11, ch. v. 7-8; was ordained an elder at 62 years of age and had baptised 62 persons as appears from the church records; Jan. 20, 1785 Providence" obit (b. c 5 June 1695)

    "HOLDEN Elder Charles, at Warwick, aged 98 years, 7 months, 15 days; Jan. 20, 1785 Providence" obit (b. c 5 June 1686)

    Since his first wife was born c 1689 and his second wife was born c 1687, the second age given above (98) may be the correct one (but needs verification). However, the RI Cemetery Database has the following entry: HOLDEN CHARLES, ELDER 1696c - 20 JAN 1785 WK115. This suggests that the age on his gravestone is 89.
