Family Mary Holden, b. 22 Jan 1777, d. 20 Apr 1817 (Age 40 years) Married 25 May 1797 Coventry, RI [3, 4] Notes - Genealogist Martha A. Benns has linked John to his father Thomas, of Warwick, and this marriage in Coventry to the same family group. I am making the assumption that she is right. This makes sense because Thomas received land in Coventry from his father Thomas, in his will.
