    • Notes: 

    • The 2017 MF5G for Billingon lists three children for Jonathan and Eunice (Rickard) Holmes whose births are found in the Pomfret vital records, Elijah, David and Lucy. The 1908 Holmes genealogy lists two additional children not found in the vital records, one of which is Betsey Elizabeth Holmes, wife of a Mr. Utley. Although no birth record has been found for Betsey Elizabeth Holmes, there is circumstantial evidence to support the 1907 Holmes genealogy. First, U.S. census records place Betsey’s birth in Connecticut. Second, Betsey’s brother Elijah Holmes married Olive Ingalls and they named a son Alvah. Betsey married John Utley and they also named a son Alvah, and a daughter Olive. The latter apparently named after Elijah’s wife who had previously died. Third, Betsey’s son Alvah, had a daughter Ellen Amelia Utley who married John B. Rider, a grandson of Betsey’s brother Elijah.
